Still a classic RJ call!

As they turned over the card, I expected to see the Hurricanes logo so when I saw it was the Sabres, I jumped out of the chair with a loud yell. Surprised my wife didn't come over to see what was going on but I guess she's used to yells coming from the man cave.

The NHL has made these lottery odds even worse than the NBA. At least with the NBA the worst team has a 25% chance. I think, no matter what, the worst team should have a 50% chance. They work their butts off to have the worst record and they should be rewarded. My local NBC affiliate also didn't broadcast it. Do they do it like the NBA with the team cards and claim this was all done with some private security firm, who have had control?

Is the Peca on the Syracuse Crunch Michael Peca's son?

In last night's game, Kane was in a 2 on 1 with Donskoi, with Donskoi carrying the puck in and then passing to Kane at point blank range. Kane actually passed it back to him at the right side of the goal for Donskoi to score. I was shocked. Even the Sharks play-by-play guy immediately said Kane could've easily scored himself but he passed yo his teammate. Looks like being in a winning environment is wearing off on the guy.

This franchise is just jinxed. Even when Bowman was in charge they couldn't win a cup, even though he had won one everywhere else.

Two goals in leading the Sharks to victory

One of my favorite Sabres draft picks!

Wayne Gretzky wasn’t a big strong player. Just saying.

Where did you get this info from? Are you sure you're not thinking of Major League Baseball where teams can make trades after the deadline with players that clear waivers up until September 1st?

It seemed to finally work for Edmonton last season but they regressed this season. Again, Vegas management showed how to put a good team together quickly. Granted they had expansion draft and a zero salary to start with but they have put together an impressive team.

I was going to bring it up and ask how many games the Sabres this season have given up the tying or lead goal in the last 2 mins. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s close to 20. Then they go and score the winning goal at the last second of OT. Good thing with Lehner’s track record in shootouts.

Are any Sabres prospects playing in these Olympics?

So all it took was trade rumors to get him going? Maybe he’s motivated to play to get traded?

Can the Sabres challenge the Bills 17 year drought? Not likely when more than half of the NHL teams make the playoffs. Would be more pathetic if they did.

Joe Satriani?

Finally somebody that agrees with me on Kashmir. I have never understood why many people consider it their favorite Zeppelin song. There are dozens I would pick before it. I liked their early albums the best but over time have warmed up to several songs from Physical Graffiti and Presence.

It’s funny that I had Lehner on a fantasy team all season in a league starting 2 goalies but finally got fed up with him and dropped him.

There's an ESPN Rochester?

So, I wonder if you season ticket holders will get a renewal letter with another price increase? They should actually give you 20% off for putting up with this season. I would copy a bunch of laugh sound bytes to a thumb drive and send it back in the renewal envelope.

Score more goals. Give up less goals. Win more games.

Amazing that half way thru the year, the 1st year Vegas Knights have the best record in the Western Conference and 2nd best overall while our horse$41€ team is only 3 pts ahead of the worst team. How can one management team create such a great team in a few months while another organization can't seem to make any moves that work?

When I graduated from college, there weren't many jobs in the Buffalo area. When I got an offer for a position in California that was for about 25% more than what my classmates got that were able to get an offer in WNY, it took about 2 secs to decide. A high paying job in California vs No job in Buffalo with winter I didn't like. I think I made the SMART decision.

So why was he rated so high for the draft when he can't skate? Didn't scouts recognize this?

Jeremy Roy any relation to Derek Roy or Patrick Roy?
