  1. Between Crawford, Hossa, and Oduya, I'm not liking the dirty crap I'm seeing Chicago pull this year.
  2. Look, a clean goal.
  3. Wow, can't believe that stands without a review from Toronto.
  4. Can we get a video board like Tampa has? Please?
  5. This right here is exactly how I imagined this series. Great hockey. Yay!
  6. Then what does Hodgson bring? What do the players say about Kaleta? I agree the Buffalo connection is a fan-factor, but I think you're too quick to dismiss, and underrate, the non-quantifiable factors that Kaleta brings. It doesn't hurt to keep him around another season or two, on a two-way, to help get the kids going in the right direction. Then let him retire honorably and become a trainer at HC.
  7. Penalty kill? Passion for the sport and Buffalo? Speed? Some folk were praising Girgensons because he was blocking shots even though his team was down 14pts in a game. Don't tell me Kaleta doesn't bring that, too. It's not like he's expensive or anything. Give him a two-way and a decent salary as a reward for being a loyal soldier and everyone will be happy.
  8. Someone needs to fire off an email to TM and crew since they kept Irbe on and are recommending Bylsma interview him. The email needs to end with "Sabrespace has spoken."
  9. I seem to recall this coming up maybe sometime near the beginning of last season..? Anyway, just stopped in to say the Sabres may not be cracking the top 20 yet, but they're the sure number one in our hearts.
  10. McDavid reminds me of an emo-less Miller.
  11. Great interview. I like the guy, and he's already getting tired of the media. Pretty low of the reporter asking that very last question. Gotcha Mr. 18 Year old Future Hockey star! Yeesh. Why isn't anyone asking the question: where are the media scrums for the other combine participants on the Sabres website? Well, except McDavid. And, why IS McDavid's scrum posted. Hmmmm?
  12. You know what may be intimidating? The fact that you don't have a grace period after posting something and before the little "edited by..." tag is added. First off, the stupid thing is placed on the next available line and it messes up the formatting of the post unless you remember to return a few lines at the end. But, with devices being what they are, it's pretty easy these days to make an error in your post that needs correcting. Except, no one wants to look foolish and that little "edited by..." tag may very well make noobs think they look foolish.
  13. Just based on the past several Murray interviews it seems he's rather set to draft Eichel, assuming Eichel is there at two. I think the far more likely concern (and, remember, this is relative to the concern over shopping the pick) is that Edmonton takes Eichel first. Many people will say the possibility of that happening is beyond remote, because, you know, McDavid is the King of Canada, born under the center ice dot of a Holy hockey rink, but I think the possibility is more aptly described as "probably remote".
  14. "McDavid had only had a few meetings, including interviews with the Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs, who have the fourth pick." ~ The Globe and Mail The conclusion you seem to be trying to draw is that Buffalo is shopping the second pick. Murray has always said he'll listen to anyone, but, he's pretty much committed to Eichel, or don't you agree?
  15. What are the odds either Eichel or McDavid make it past pick two? I guess the question is for GoDD.
  16. Uh-oh, Morey Gare with HH right now wouldn't commit to picking McDavid first. Said Eichel gave them an impressive interview. Is talking more about Eichel than McDavid in this interview so far...
  17. I was just as pleased to hear Murray's response to that. I'm beginning to drink the koolaid and think we just may have something extremely special on our hands in Sabreland - finally.
  18. That was Murray's best interview to date, IMHO. He comes across as human and likable. He made me chuckle several times and it was cool to hear him talking about Halo and give some insight into what goes on at home. I dig the guy.
  19. You got something against mullets?
  20. If I were him, or, rather, if I were in his exact position at that time in my life with the way society is and the tech available, uhm, I would be just like him. Sorry, but, I would have been proud, vain, and egotistical with my bad-ass self achieving that kind of status. Back in the day, I knew people in "my line of work" (at the time, shall we say) who were just as proud, vain, and egotistical as Kane comes off now, who could and would be a team player when it was "team time". He wouldn't be where he's at without being able to juggle the two, it's that simple.
  21. I can't understand the self-before-team criticism when, and especially dealing with injury, he's one of the very few Sabres we see hanging around the organization when there isn't a game or anything terribly specific going on.
  22. TB needs to get back on the game plan they were using in the first. It was effective...this is very Sabre-like.
  23. Well, so much for the vision.
  24. Bishop has great vision. He sees some shots you'd normally say "he never saw it" to.
  25. Rope a dope! Mmmm... Not sure.
