Clearly he's talking about the enemy. He does command a tank, you know.

PP specialist.

Ok, so it's not a graze, it's a friendly whack.

Call me ignorant, but we are talking about that clip where he tries to demonstrate how Luke was "always flailing his stick about", where he literally *grazes* his helmet, right?

I don't think anyone is denying the roster was crap, but I don't think you can deny there's generally been a difference in hustle under Nolan, than under Ruff/Rolston. The correct answer to me, would be "a little of both".

Are you kidding me? I thought Lindy put them through some pretty rough stuff regularly? If he didn't, then HELL YEAH he was too nice! He coached the laziest team in Sabres history, those guys should've been puking their guts out on a regular basis.

Leino's photo should forever hang in TP's office, as a constant taunt and reminder of how NOT to do things.

Any chance the Canucks are looking to blow up that team in the off-season? Seems like their window closed two seasons ago.

Call Darcy. The master of throwing perfectly good money at piss-poor players.

The man has been in North America since 1998, how does that qualify as "packing it in and going home, can't take the NHL"? He played in the league for parts of 14 seasons. People called Jagr a ###### for years - The man is still schooling people, and taking a pounding every other night at 42, in the toughest league in the world. I wouldn't mind that kind of ###### on my team. Omark is a different story. ^This.

Didn't earn him any stars in my book either. Truly a cluster###### signing, if ever there was one.

Considering his salary, Leino has to be the worst signing ever for this franchise.

You mean the reason for this whole mess was that TP didn't want to call Nolan himself?

Kaleta's "hit" on Richards was "a stupid gamle". This is a more like a "stupid, reckless and dangerous gamble", Even if Dillion turns into him, it's a late hit, by miles?

How the hell is that only 5 games for a repeat offender? Yet Kaleta gets 5 for grazing Jack Johnson, and Scott gets 7 for being bigger than Ericsson? It's a complete joke, if Kassian had played for the Sabres, that's at least 10 games, and a secret memo from the league saying that he needs to be kicked down to the farm.

Wish we'd called Nolan 4 years ago.

The current roster spells B-I-G problem as a whole. No reason goaltending shouldn't match the standard of our skaters :w00t:

Still sucks.

Likewise. I just can't stand athletes who feel entitled, but doesn't care for earning anything.

###### off Linus, you sucked anyway,

Makes sense.

Any decent non-disclosure agreement would likely prohibit him from talking to anyone outside his family about this.

Maybe that's why Garth Snow still has a job - Any club that had Milbury as a GM will consider Snow an outright genious.

But not by Darcy.

That could very well be. I would have to imagine that he at the very least has a "game face" he puts on, when it comes to dealing with important matters. Like it nor not, not many people are able to get things done being all nice and honest all the time. Sad but true.
