K-9

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!!!

That's a funny description. Great stuff, PA. We all understand your frustration. I think TP wants that cup as much as us and once he committed to the total rebuild, I was convinced more than ever. But some things transcend the cup, like an enduring commitment to the renaissance of a once great city. GO SABRES!!!

That's what you took away from the article? I thought for sure you'd run out and get a Pegula #1 jersey. Guess I was wrong.

Sure you do. But who says chivalry is dead? This is the cyber equivalent of placing your coat over a puddle of water so that a lady may pass unsoiled. Bravo!

I'd argue Risto/Zad has already supplanted them. GO SABRES!!!

Wait. When chz said "next level" it was really a metaphor? I can only imagine what "catnasty" means. GO SABRES!!!

I heard Peters say on the radio this morning that Z would have eight points in the All Star game and win the car as MVP. Says Z knows only one way to approach life and play the game. Having him in that game would raise EVERYBODY'S level of competition. I'd love to see it. GO SABRES!!!

That's amazing. Heck, we have 18% of that total within a couple hundred yards of each other downtown and you don't have to go outside to skate on any of them. I don't think I've come across a more compelling story than Zemgus'. And I hope he doesn't experience any backlash from the likes of Milbury or fans that might not understand what's going on here. But if All Star slots were given based on work ethic and dedication to the game alone, Z would be the starting center in that game. GO SABRES!!!

All this and when they stuck up for each other in St. Louis. That had a galvanizing effect on this team. Contrast that to the response to Lucic in Boston when he ran Miller. How awesome is it that our best defensive pair are 20 and 19 years old? And they are legitimately good! We need the offensive centerpiece inkman refers to. GO BILLS!!!

This has to stop...NOW! GO SABRES!!!

Regardless of what line he ends up playing most in his career (and I don't really care), there is no disputing his contribution. He has something you can't coach. And like you said, he's only 20. Just wait until he fills out and learns the game a bit more. I think 2nd line just may be his floor when it's all said and done. GO BILLS!!!

My God, that's tragic. Sounds like we lost a good one at a time when good ones are needed most. My prayers to his family.

Huh?

GREAT point made here. Says a lot about his hockey-character. GO SABRES!!!
