Bro, what have they done with CHS?

LOL

Jesus SDS batman alert. Please fix the new IE issues. I don't want to keep writing when I get back to work to complain about ######. I want to complain right away. P.S. WTF happened to CHS? What have you done? I'm really not comfortable with some of the weirdo ###### going on here without her overbearing slap! SLAP! That has a comforting feeling. Spanking I guess !! Where is CHS?

And I would agree with James Mirtle @mirtle that he needs to re sign prior to March 5 to put his money where his mouth is then. Of course that means we would have to offer him something first! But it is nice to hear comments like that from and Ott as well. If you look at that FA list it 's not very impressive and some of those will be kept by their current team. I think we should keep some of what we have at this point. We have bottomed out. No need to go further. I pay for entertainment which I am grateful Nolan understands. That goes a long way with this season ticket holder.

He is Leino's replacement for a lot less money and we only have to change the name plate on the number 23 jersey. The savings will allow us to go after the next Shane Doan. Sarcasm. On the last part.The next guy will be better than Doan! :angel: We are going to be spending some money after all. Honestly though I don't see any downside other than the guy is leaving for home if he doesn't stick with Buffalo.

Ok then if thats the case I'm confused cause I liked what they said yesterday about him going down, going to Spengler and coming back. Something weird here now. Isn't the team going to Sweeden? So where are we sending him down to? Nobody will be there. :unsure:

I don't think thats how it is intended. And I'm willing to bet thats now Pysyk is taking it. Kid: we want you to go down get experience and you're going to play in the Spengler Cup. When it's over you're coming back to Buffalo and will remain here as long as your performance merits it. Kid: Cool! Not sure if you heard Nolan say that he won't be down long but he did. This is all positive if you can past not seeing him here for a few weeks. This can only improve him and I think this is a great move on their part.

Next time there will be no NHL players. Imagine the Ruskies will do well.

Brian Setzer Orchestra. Wednesday at UB! Best show of the year.

It seems to me that with Cody signing he was trying to repeat the past ala Derek Roy menaing this train would end up the same train wreck as the last one he built. Do you think he is now at home in a dark room watching the tire fire and giggling? Weasel.

As to the title question, look at the mess we're in after all this time with Darcy in charge. He most certainly is a weasel.

I'm not in the camp that is head over heels with. I'm often left wondering what others see in him. Me, I see a bigger Rhuedel and I'm not impressed with him. So that speaks for itself I guess unless you are also in the camp of those that think Chad Rheudil or whatever is going to be an NHL d man. I don't. Darcy did. He's not here anymore. I am. Now mind you I'm not saying that he doesn't have a role. He does. He is pretty slick at moving the puck up. I like that. But with our forwards who are loathe to backcheck to the net to help the D out, that means I need someone who clears the net out on their own. God Speed Nikita. We need you back at full man! Soon!

Thanks. Awesome stuff. Nolan calls Pat looking for tix to a broadway show and gets told no. Sorry I can't get you tickets but what about this? lol

Just wonderin if at 47 I am officially in the old fogie category? :unsure:

Bet ya $20 they do. Before the end of the season.

Well this should stop the bleeding. Sooner rather than later.

Welcome back Ted. Get us back to where we belong.

Well that should make this particular pissing contest a little more fun.

Well if not goals safe to say Vanek will get more assists than Moulson.

Math Smath. All that jumbo adds up to a simple well known formula that occurs when guys start performing above their career average. Contract year! Simple math really.

I am willing to bet Vaneks play is not raised. In fact I'm willing to bet he is about to go into one of his patented ten games or so dissapearing acts. Only this time with Elite talent in Long Island while Moulson just keeps trucking like his same old self. The two guys spots are not going to change.

Sounds to me like a losing plan to me. And if their on the bubble Van did them no good whatsoever! Hey wait a minute we....

He isn't going to playing with ELITE talent here. He's playing with Cody Freaking Hodgson. You cant have it both ways . A month from now I will not be surprised that NEITHER Vanek nor Moulsons game has been raised or lowered because of who they are playing with now. Moulson, is a better overall player and brings more to this team than Vanek. Today or a month from now. LOL and what makes them think he will play with heart anyway? He's not in it for the mponey and evidently left his heart in Minny. Love the Stafford comparison but can youo imagine the meltdown in Long Island should that happen? Johnny T may personally threaten Vanek! Seriously though I cant imagine Vanek tanks there. Moulson has more to lose being a contract year and must perform so it's a win for us and Van. Doesn't that make this trade all the more a head scratcher from their side? So as someone pointed out the best they can do after realizing he isn't going to sign is to recoup their losses and blow any chance they had at re signing Moulson at the same time? Less they truly believe that Vanek plays lights out with Johnny T and they better their playoff berth and don't face Pittsburgh and get into the second round. I don't know. I just don't know. FIRE SNOW!!! :-)

I may give Vanek the nod being better in his own end. But coming back to his own end he is most definately not better.So I'll take this guys point production and ability for far less money than Vanek gets and probably a much better guy in the room too. I am not missing Vanek. Adios.

I agree with all of this. People seem to fail to realize he signed the offer sheet to leave. He was leaving. He didn't come back to the team and say look this is what I've got or anything just signed. So none of the current situation should surprise anyone. I did enjoy some of his time and often felt let down by him. As good as he is you there's more that he can give but chooses to coast etc. Good luck TV.
