Agreed. I don't care if he's a leader or not. That's a nice to have. I'd be more concerned if his non-conformity meant that he doesn't buy into lockerrom leadership he doesn't necessarily agree with. Does he buck against the culture moving forward? That kind of thing. Because I think we've got some high-character players, including a couple young ones, that know the value of that kind of buy-in. In other words how does he take it when, in the lockerroom immediately after a tough loss, one of our current team leaders rips the earbuds out of his head and stomps on his I-Pod, because he's not taking the loss to heart enough. It's one thing to be asked to be accountable, quite another when forced. Especially when you've never had to before. GO SABRES!!!

I see that Stewart and Mitchell are commutative. I wouldn't have guessed that before you broke it down scientifically with irrefutable mathematical proof. Well done. GO BILLS!!!

Cool math. Can you do the equation for Mitchell + injury? Thanks. GO SABRES!!!

So, Grigorenko called up. Did anyone answer? GO SABRES!!!

I've already accepted this or a 1st round exit will happen. I love rooting for a team full of players with heart, but I'm not confusing heart with talent and the consistent cup contention that only talent brings. GO SABRES!!!

I can understand wanting the team stocked with vets. But is there an expectation by ticket holders that the Sabres aren't trying to develop their better young talent and that they'll stay in Rochester? That sounds like a recipe for disappointment. GO SABRES!!!

Not for nothing, but isn't that what the Amerks team is? GO SABRES!!!

The few games I've been at this year, I sat right next to the bench, 3 rows up. Trottier is always the most vocal coach of the bunch. He has a particularly nice touch with players who screw the pooch. Especially the young ones. He's constantly communicating to the players. Very Biron-like at times with all his chatter. GO BILLS!!!

Heck, I'm thinkin' of a girl right this minute. But somehow those stockings, garters, and heels were replaced by Sabre pants and long johns. Right in mid-fantasy, too! PA is right, this team is in the very core of my psyche. And I thought it was way too crowded in there already. GO SABRES!!!

So who's manning the turret? Weber was my #1 tank commander. Thought I saw him handing out chevrons to Meszaros once. It's gotta be Anrej. GO BILLS!!!

Stone hands to be sure. But that's not his job. He's one of those invaluable glue guys who will get the most of his limited minutes and more often than not be an absolute pain in the ass to play against while he's out there. So in my mind, he's better for us in the role he was acquired for than McNabb was when he was here. If that makes any sense. GO SABRES!!!

Agreed. I think Deslaurier for McNabb straight up has been worth it. Fasching is gravy and he has way more potential than either. GO SABRES!!!

Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo! Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo! Welcome to the great white North!

http://www.nhl.com/i...n=/allstar/2015 I love this image. GO SABRES!!!

The either/or is not what I meant to suggest at all. What I meant was that even if he never ends up winning a cup or a superbowl, Pegula still will have done something for the city of Buffalo that far surpasses both. By light years.

Weakening......must........re.....sist..........this........force..........of ................optimism. Is there really a chance this is the Bad News Bears? GO SABRES!!!

Why can't we have Harbor Center/buy the Bills AND Cup Pegula?

Here's one thing we DO know: Zadorov reported over weight and out of shape. He was benched during the prospects tourney. Then he was glued to the press box for the first month and a half. Did we hear a peep out of him? No. Instead he was challenged by the staff, worked his ass off, and is now showing why he was a 1st round pick. None of that speaks to a player that wants out, is unhappy, or has motivation issues. Quite the contrary. And he's very generous with pucks for little kids during pregame skates. GO BILLS!!!

I'm pretty sure it's the Marfan's GO SABRES!!!

You don't know how much I'm resisting this. Then again, they keep this up for another month and it's a moot point. GO SABRES!!!

Put down the burger. Put down the dog. GO SABRES!!!

Exactly how I feel as well. But I hate this feeling of ambiguity all the time. Hell, sometimes it's not even that. It's downright HOPING the other team scores. I feel so slimy. GO SABRES!!! Will we be needing a shopping cart too, sir?

I am shocked to hear Adam isn't being productive. GO SABRES!!!

I haven't taken the time to read the report and don't know if this info is in there, but I'd be interested to know how many of these "CIA" guys were outsourced contractors.

If Bert, Dom, and Patty aren't the three to remain standing, I've lost all faith in this community. It bothers me that an entire generation of fans will know nothing more of Gilbert Perreault than as an Elvis impersonator. That's an abomination! GO SABRES!!!
