View Full Version : Andrew Peters is useless
Carl J. Ironsides
October 16th, 2007, 12:44:01 AM
After tonight, I have no clue why Peters is on the Sabres' roster anymore. He logged a total of 1:43 of ice time. I was angry that Lindy Ruff scratched Mike Ryan, a speedy skater who would've had his way with Toronto's slow defenders and deft penalty killer, to play Peters, who didn't even do his job and get in a fight.
Peters can't do anything, frankly. He's played three games this year and hasn't fought, which is his sole on-ice purpose. So why is he even here anymore?
The Sabres are clearly a better team when their fourth line consists of Mair, Paille and Ryan.
It doesn't matter if Peters can win a fight. Oftentimes, fighting is more about the gesture than the result. We've already seen Goose, Mair, Hecht, Paetsch and Stafford, among others, scrap during the past season-plus, and I'm pretty sure they can continue to do it when necessary, even if they lose.
It's time for Buffalo to waive Peters.
(Sorry, SG, but the truth hurts sometimes.)

Sadly. I have to agree, and it's hard to do. Peters is such a nice guy and his teammates love him. But really I don't see a need for him on the team anymore. Ryan does a lot. He has a lot og skill, kill penalties and plays damn hard every night, and as a result the Sabres are a better team with him in the lineup.

Agreed, 244.
Peters is a good guy, but so is JP Losman. Neither can help my teams win, so adieu to both.

I don't disagree that he's useless, but Lindy seems to love the guy, there's no other reason why he is on the roster. The guy can fight, but thats it, I think that player is all but gone in today's game. The only argument towards keeping him is that he is a good team guy. Also the Sabres don't really have a stockpile of forwards who are NHL ready, MacArthur is about the only guy and he is best served by getting a ton of minutes in Rochester versus coming here and getting 4th line minutes.

its obvious to me why he keeps him
this is a finesse team. other teams get the idea they can hit the sabres into submission. for example ottawa sends out chris neal to take runs at our skill players. toronto has been known to do the same thing. lindy keeps him around as a thinly veiled threat that if you try to run our guys you get peters assigned to take out yours
now why he dresses peters might be a better question. though with the leafs history thats not all that hard to figure out either

1:43 is worthless. If your gonna be on the roster, at least get around 5 minutes. I agree with letting Ryan play. Speed will create more in the end, if he has the puck or not. It is just one more person they will have to worry about...

I agree, it's maddening to see someone taking up a roster spot getting under 2 minutes of ice time. If Lindy sees fit to dress him, I wish he would play him more. I'm not criticizing your post Connolly - lord knows I've started similar threads. But perhaps we should have a moratorium on these posts? I mean, this has been going on for a couple seasons already, and will happen at least 40 or 50 more times this season. It's not going to stop.

Yeah...Peters sucks at hockey. Everyone and their Mother know's that. Its pretty nice to see what Paille and Mair can do with a guy like Roy playing the wing....Ruff definitely picked the right guy to double shift in Peters absence.
Peters had less than 2 minutes of ice time......In his very first shift last night, he had a chance to absolutely destroy one of the Leafs players, and quite possibly, put that Leafs player right into the Leafs bench (I wish I could remember who it was). The guy was a sitting duck...playing the puck with his head down and Peters barreling in on him, only for Peters to half-ass hockey stop, and lean into the guy with an elbow high. That moment right there could have set the tone for the rest of the game. Who know's how that first period would have gone had Peters done his damn job, use his gigantic body, and deployed that Leafs player right back into his own bench....Maybe the Sabres wouldn't have had to come from behind, after going down 2-zip in the 1st. Quite simply, he's not doing his job. Ryan didn't deserved to be scratched for a guy who's been sand-bagging it with every opportunity he gets to make an impact.

I would rather double shift guys like Connolly and Roy than put in a fourth liner, Peters or Ryan...doesn't matter. Guys like Connolly get better and better with the minutes given, so why take some of that away by giving it to Ryan or Peters. I'd rather have a veiled threat on the bench than a guy taking valuable icetime away from our star

Again, some of you guys have no clue. You're basically saying there is no need in the NHL for enforcers.
Sure the gesture of fighting can be a nice warm fuzzy thing that make your teammates respect you. But that's not what fighting is all about. Winning or losing a fight can change momentum just as much as a goal can. Your not going to change momentum when your down 3-1 and your guys gets pounded.
And you clearly don't understand the level or protection an enforcer gives and the security that finesse players get from guys like Peters.
And why do so many teams, including the Sabres have enforcers? Because they know that enforcers, like Peters, are valuable members of the team.
But you guys are right, and all the NHL coaches and GM's are wrong. Get a clue..

To the best of my knowledge, Peter Laviolette's Hurricanes didn't have an enforcer when they won the Cup in 2005-06. They still don't either. He doesn't believe in them.
The enforcer is going the way of the dodo.

Hey, I'm not saying that enforcers aren't valuable to any team in this league. All I'm saying is that if Peters is going to play for 1 minute and 47 seconds a game, he'd better take that 1 minute and 47 seconds and either hit someone, like he had the chance to, but completely avoided, on his first shift last night, or pummel someone without taking an extra penalty. If someone doesn't want to fight him, then all he can do is be a wrecking ball for his one or two shifts....That's fine. There's nothing he can do about that. But the problem is, he's not doing either. And when he's not doing either, he might as well be a bag of pucks sitting on the bench.

This is the best post on this point.
I feel strongly about a guy like Peters being on our team but I have never liked Peters. He isn’t good traditional fighter. That ridiculous outstretched arm keeping the other fighter at bay while he tries to throw haymakers is painful to watch. I don’t know if he is afraid to take a punch or what, but his “style” or lack of is the complete opposite of the way Rayzor used to fight.
Bottom line is, Thumper put it best in regards to the hit last night. That Leaf player should have been knocked off his skates. But due to Peters horrible skating, he doesn’t have the balance to throw good body checks. Ray used to put people through the boards. Peters lack of balance might have something to do with his retarded way of fighting. We need a guy like him, but we need one that does his job.

Since he's on the roster, we should all just shut up and not talk about him. Okay, then what's a hockeystud-sanctioned topic? Seeing as it's a Sabres message board and all, what are we supposed to discuss if any criticism of the rostered players is pointless and stupid? Should we all just resort to knee-jerk homerism and fawning? Of course we have no role or say in the team and it's personnel. A child could point that out. Doesn't mean we can't have critical discussions on players and their performances. That's kind of the point of a message board. If you find that so outrageous, I'm at a bit of a loss as to why you're here.
As for being stuck with him, I don't think Peters is going anywhere either - but players do get waived or traded. It's been known to happen. Even on Darcy Regier managed teams.

I didn't say all teams don't have enforcers. Some do like Ottawa with McGratten,the Ducks with Parros and Minnesota with Boogarrd, other than that you'll struggle to find a true enforcer on most any other NHL roster, but I'm telling you most of the teams in the league don't have them, they have 2 or 3 players with skill called agitators that aren't afraid to drop the gloves but also contribute on offense. Go look it up or are you too afraid.
Funny. Peters played vs Nashville when the Nichol play happened, but had a grand total of 0:00 ice time, and played 29 seconds when Overchkin attacked Briere, and when the Ottawa brawl happened, Mair and Kaleta did just fine. But if you wanna think we're screwed because a guy that plays a grand total of a minute a game go ahead, go nuts.

Funny. Peters played vs Nashville when the Nichol play happened, but had a grand total of 0:00 ice time, and played 29 seconds when Overchkin attacked Briere, and when the Ottawa brawl happened, Mair and Kaleta did just fine. But if you wanna think we're screwed because a guy that plays a grand total of a minute a game go ahead, go nuts.
This paragraph pretty much ends the "keep Peters around" argument. Also, playing Peters for more than his minute a game will create more chances for the opposition, as he has no defensive skills. He's a liability if he's out there more than 2 shifts.
Maybe they should try sending him down to Rochester and have Cunneyworth work on his overall game for the entire year. Randy could give him giant quantities of ice time down there in an effort to improve Andrew's skills. Hey, ya never know. And if someone picks him up while we're attempting to send him down to the AHL, so be it.

You guys can debate this all day, but you just don't have a clue.
Being an enforcer is more than just fighting, it's a presence on the bench and the ice. Many times they can police the game by just talking to the other team about their actions and the repercussions if their actions continue. A guy like Peters gets respect that Mair or Gaustad can never get.
And I guarantee you ask any player, especially star players, and they'll all say they like having an enforcer on the team.

To the best of my knowledge, Peter Laviolette's Hurricanes didn't have an enforcer when they won the Cup in 2005-06. They still don't either. He doesn't believe in them.
The enforcer is going the way of the dodo.
But the 2007 Stanley Cup Champion had several enforcers and led the league in fighting majors. Try again..

You're right. That's how it's supposed to be. But ironiclly, our best defenseman through the first 5 games is already injured due to Antropov taking liberties and boarding him. He could have concussed him had he got more of his elbow on Spacek's head. But its a sprained shoulder nonetheless. Peters presence did nothing to prevent that from happening. With all of the injuries this team has endured over the last two seasons, Peters presence really hasn't done much at all to keep this team protected. Why?

That's the thing. The NHL is different now. Peters will only be on the ice if Mair, Ryan, Paille, or any of our defensemen are on the ice if and when one of them gets run. He'll never skate on a line with a Connolly or Roy, Afinogenov, Pominville, Hecht, or any of the skill players that someone might cheapshot. The instigator penalty has ruined that aspect of what used to be a great part of the game. That's not Peters fault. Its just the way it is. His presence on the bench hasn't prevented it from happening enough at all
Even thinking back to Neil on Drury.....Who took liberties with their skill players in retailiation? Mair pummeled Spezza, even though Spezza turtled like the coward he is, dropping to his knees with his head down as Mair got in as many shots as he could. Peters grabbed Heatley, spun him around, and then what? He let him go.............................???
So he fought Emery after Biron already had. Big freaking deal. If anything, that was taking things too far. Especially considering how easy Emery was on Biron. Even Ruff said that Peters on Emery was taking things too far. Fighting a goaltender with all of that padding on his upper body isn't even a fair fight. That's why goaltenders fight eachother, and players fight eachother.
So if you ask me, Peters didn't do his job that night either.

What? He went out there and tried to rip Heatley's head off? He didn't even hit him. Heatley never even fell to the ice. Your ignoring reality.
He jumped on Spezza's back? When? After Mair already pummeled him and then got jumped by 2 other Senators? Yeah, that's when Peters got in there. He was doing as much as the linesmen were at that point....Pulling players off of eachother....THEN he got to Emery, after Biron had already made more of a point than Peters. The only guy that didn't have a partner on both sides of the ice was who? Dany Heatley....The guy who Peters let go as soon as he was grabbed, meanwhile, Mair was taking on 3 guys. That's the only reason he was even available to go after Emery.
I bet you're going to say "Yeah, but Peters went after Ottawa's toughest player on the ice" referring to Emery....Who cares? Emery's wearing 8 to 10 bulky pounds of padding and already fought once...Neil took out our best all around player. So Peters should have taken out Ottawa's best all around player on the ice. Heatley. All Peters did was put Miller to risk for the last game of the season against Ottawa.
What about the next night? Buffalo player gets dropped, he goes after Phillips.
The damage was already done the night before. And for the second time, he went after the wrong guy. Either get the guy who got your's, or get the guy most comparable to the guy you lost on your team. That's either Heatley or Alfredsson. Take your pick.

He made a name for himself a big chicken shit that goes and fights a goalie
Let's break down the Ottawa brawl.
1. Peters goes after Heatley, can't even get him to the ground and lets him skate away.
2. Peters goes into a pile, grabs and official and a Sens players while a Sabres players is on top of him already.
3. Peters then goes after Spezza(a known tough guy). By the way Mair already went after Spezza and actually took him down and landed punches then took on 2 other Sens.
4. Peters follows that up by doing the lowest of all things and goes after a goalie who already had been in a fight and if not for all that equipment he probably get his ass beat.
Watch the video to see what a great enforcer Peters is.

I assume you're literate, as your spelling is good. So are you just too lazy to actually read people's posts?

But I do happen to agree with Sabres244, Connolly19, Thumper, and the rest who think Peters isn't being effective (or used effectively) in his role as an 'enforcer.' And to say their arguments are 'baseless speculation' proves you're either illiterate, not reading their posts, or unable to respond to their arguments. They have written long posts, full of facts, statistics, and evidence to support their opinion. Rather than try to engage their arguments, and counter them with arguments or opinions of your own, you call them clueless. The only "evidence" you use to back up this assertion is that they don't have the same opinion as you. It's very much like a child stomping his feet and yelling when he gets frustrated.
And where are these venerable posts of yours, steeped in fact and experience? Mostly what I get from you and yr ilk is "you don't know what you're talking about, and I do."

That's the thing. The NHL is different now. The instigator penalty has ruined that aspect of what used to be a great part of the game. That's not Peters fault. Its just the way it is. His presence on the bench hasn't prevented it from happening enough at all
So he fought Emery after Biron already had. Big freaking deal. If anything, that was taking things too far. Especially considering how easy Emery was on Biron. Even Ruff said that Peters on Emery was taking things too far. Fighting a goaltender with all of that padding on his upper body isn't even a fair fight. That's why goaltenders fight eachother, and players fight eachother.
So if you ask me, Peters didn't do his job that night either.
So as not to be accused of having a man crush on Thumpers points, I want to strongly disagree on the fighting Emery thing. I loved seeing that smirking a-hole get punched in the face. Probably the best fight of Peters career. Honestly! He stood there and threw like a man. You know why?!? Ever put on full ice gear and play net? You can’t throw a punch!!! Peters knew he wouldn’t get hit in the face. He sucks.
By the way more importantly, Thumpers comment on the instigator penalty is completely accurate. This rule is to me the most painful thing the NHL has done since locking out the players. Thank you NHL for putting all the stars of the league in jeopardy of injury by taking away the fear of getting your ass kicked if you cheep shot a skill player or goaltender. Fkin genious.

Phenomenal choice of ensemble. Maybe this world is big enough for the two of us after all.
We can start a dance duo called "The Dancing Queens." You in?

Did you notice how when May punches with his right fist, and when May punches with his left fist, one is just as powerful as the other? Notice how May doesn't turn and hide his face, while occasionally trying to land a punch over the top, while keeping his distance?

I have noticed that, yeah. May sure does cheap shot guys here and there. He's an ******* on the ice. If Peters suckerpunched a few guys, I bet opposing teams would dread playing against him. Presently, they're taking every liberty with our team that they want. Why? Cuz Peters scares no one.

Peters has his uses, unfortunately there are other players on other teams that can do what he does while also being better hockey players. If Peters could contribute a regular shift no one would complain that he is useless.
