  1. Since this season appears to be lost, I would sell high on Pommer / Vanek / Miller. IMO, the only players who should be buying a house in the greater Buffalo area are Ennis, Ehrhoff, Weber, Ott, Hodgson & possibly Foligno.
  2. Right, there's something to be said for handing the Bruins their only two losses in regulation. I just can't think of anything to say ...
  3. Been a Buffalo sports fan for a long time now - I'm starting to think there might be something to a "curse" on our sports teams. Has nothing to do with the city or the people and the constant barrage of putdowns the city gets. Detroit is annually voted the worse place to live in the U.S. and they have multiple cups. Now if I can just find out who placed the curse on our fair city ...
  4. Who on our team is even close to the talent of John Tavares ? Who are our two defensemen that are the equivalents of Visnovsky and Streit ? Who on our team has the breakaway speed of Grabner and can actually put the puck away ? As a whole, the skill of this team is below par and the effort in our own end below subpar. The season is shot; send some of these prima donnas down to Rochester and bring up some kids that will skate for 60 minutes. After every game, standard pat answer ... "We've got to keep working hard in practice to fix the things are broken" ... working hard ... what a concept.
  5. Need a win to climb out of last in the East after the Caps win today ... no place to go but up !
  6. The coach is only as good as the personnel on the ice ... and who is responsible for the personnel on the ice ? Does anyone think that Chicago would be playing any worse right now if Lindy was their coach ? Darcy needs to fess up ...
  7. Myers left his skates back in Buffalo - thank God the bus driver had time to stop at the HHOF and pick up the cement castings they made when he won the Calder ...
  8. Here's hoping that the Leafs pick up McCormick and he pounds Stafford into submission on Thursday night and wakes him up !

    Does it statistically matter than all of the games are against the Eastern Conference and afford the ability to make up ground ?

    This team stinks

    Don't feel bad - Tampa has lost 6 in a row
  11. How many of the shots on Anderson were from outside the faceoff dots or from Gerbe shooting it in from beyond the blue line ?
  12. I've got this one with a fan ... likewise awesome ! http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPORTS-EQUIPMENT-HOCKEY-DRYING-RACK-TREE-/320733997054#ht_3173wt_1270
  13. He's been credited with 5 hits so far, one less than Bieksa.
  14. Kassian playing a few shifts with the Sedins - looks pretty comfortable out there. And wearing Hodgson's old #9 ....
  15. We'll soon see - I have a feeling he was on Ruff Benadryl during his tenure here ...check out Van-Phx tonight.
  16. What will be interesting is to see how Kassian plays for the Canucks. WIll he come out hitting/fighting at the risk of taking penalties or will he play like the last few weeks with the Sabres ...good puck control along the boards with virtually no hitting. Now that he's no longer a Sabre, I'd like to ask him if Lindy asked him to tone down the hitting and showcase the skill side of his game. I personally think the caged beast will be released ...
  17. Only for 20 more games and I can live with that ... I have the utmost confidence that size and grit will be added over the summer. Foligno will be up next year as well and Boyes will be long gone as will either Roy or Stafford via trade.
  18. Great trade ... lots of upside for Hodgson ... but Darcy had better sign the Hanson brothers in the off-season.
  19. Not if we put Gerbe on Kaleta's shoulders ...
  20. Anyone know where to get the cap in the package advertised on http://www.buffalosabres.com/ w/o buying the package ? Not found on New Era's website ...
