Two or less

Yeah, his fan-boy image definetly has people speculating only in-house type moves, but if he does get Darcy Regier fired, i think he will be open to atleast interview anyone and everyone possible. Ted Black won't allow him to just hire someone based on the "Sabres" in his resume.

I have to imagine, if uncle Terry's kids ever showed him this, he would get a good chuckle out of it. Classic.

Pretty confident our season ends tonight. (regulation loss and we're donzo) It's been good. Onto the draft lottery...

Whenever i go on a road trip to watch the Sabres play there (twice) i stay here- http://www.comfortsuites.com/hotel-raleigh-north_carolina-NC385 Very close to the arena. Always a ton of Sabres fans stay there. It's also very close to this bar: http://www.backyardbistro.com/menu.html Arena and bar are walking distance.

Here's the exact link- http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/opinion/2013/04/30-thoughts-craig-mactavish-poised-to-shake-up-oilers.html Elliott even comments on Kaleta and Myers in that link too.

I loved Dixon Ward with Buffalo. Seeing his picture up kind of saddens me. Not gonna lie...

Interesting game you guys got going on here... i think i'll participate. (im assuming we're selecting some of our least liked Sabres of all time?) lol

Mark Pysyk seems like a guy who will be a leader.

Or, a Darnell Nurse... if we pick outside the top-4, and Nurse is available at our pick, i would wage anything that would be our selection.

What else would there be?

Few things i found interesting.... -The two schools are only separated by 5 miles. -#6 Stu Wilson for Yale is from Pittsford, NY and is the son of RIT coach Wayne Wilson. -#19 Anthony Day for Yale is from Buffalo, NY. -#18 Kenny Agostino for Yale was one of the players Pittsburgh traded for Jerome Iginla. -#20 Matthew Peca for Quinnipiac, is a very good player (7th rd to Tampa) but has no relation to Micheal Peca.

Definitely the Sabres view him highly as a prospect. Just watched his interview on sabres.com, Ruhwedel said the Sabres kept an interest in him all season long. Maybe this is why they dealt Brennen? They knew they'd be needing a spot and were confident in signing him, and obviously didn't foresee Myers getting hurt. Rip Simonick picks all numbers, and they are typically high, random numbers, until they earn it. Few organizations do this tradition still. Florida and Ducks among them. But, many of our guys always decide to keep the numbers...

Worked all day, missed the game and was away from the computer, so i will ask this here, even though it has nothing to do with his play but it does have to do with Ruhwedel. How come he was given #5 in his debut game, while others, such as Flynn (65), Pysyk (53), Foligno (82), Ennis (63), Adam (72) and Myers (57) have to "earn" their jersey number of choice, even though some of these guys decided to keep the nascar number they were given by Rip? Did anybody say?

I would say no way, zero chance... but with fanboy Terry Pegula calling the shots, anything is possible in "hockey heaven".

Armia will not be in Rochester at all. After his Finnish season ends, he will go to Finland national team camp to prepare for the World Championships.

Yes.

For sake of adding to this thread, if the Sabres are with a high pick again next year, give me Leon Draisaitl all day long. Though im almost certain he'll go #1. He once scored 192 points in a 29 game season.

I am so conflicted as to who I would want. MacKinnion, Jones, Drouin all look nice and are the ones mainly talked about, but Barkov and Donovan McNabb's nephew look very promising too.

Hate to say it, but i have got to agree. He looked like he was the worst player on the ice in Winnipeg, too. -6 in the last two games and showing zero effort, zero passion in these last two. Just one shot on goal tonight.

Few years. Darcy on WGR today once again kept warning fans that the "great" teams had to face 3-4 years of being a bottom of the barrel team and we have yet to do so.

Outscored 7-1 since Ott quote. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Their passing is awful and they lack chemistry that's for sure. But, look at some of the guys we have on this team. Flynn is playing with Porter. Gerbe is playing with top line guys and against top lines. Hecht is with Scott and Kaleta. This is a AHL roster playing in the NHL.

Ted Black spoke with the Buffalo News today for a story in the Thursday edition. Here's what he said about the "fans anger"... Much of what he said there has been said in this thread. People boo because it's their way to show frustration, and they won't "f off" like Ott's puckbunny suggested because we care. http://blogs.buffalonews.com/sabres/2013/04/sabres-president-says-organization-is-still-optimistic-about-delivering-a-champion.html And for the record, the club means much more to me then a corporate entity. If that makes me weak, so be be?

But you don't know where we will be picking. The lower draft spot we get, the tougher it would be, obviously. But if we're picking 5th or 6th, to move up to 2nd or 3rd wouldn't be that big of reach.

Chicago is having a similar story about booing this past week, as fans booed closer Carlos Marmol who blown a lead. It's also been in the media like it has been in Buffalo. Here is the manager of the Cubs opinion on the booing in Chicago.... http://www.csnchicago.com/blog/cubs-talk/one-night-marmol-quiets-boos
