If we are into late April and he is not signed then I start to assume the worst. Right now I assume they have a hand shake deal on terms and amount. The deal will be officially signed some time after the CBA allows him to get the 8 years with the Sabres.

Never thought I would see the day an *Animal House* quote(s) would be taken seriously. When they are, it's even more hilarious.

My twitters are excited about tonight's d-pairings with this news.

But have you every fished with a woody? ?

So who is making room for this?

But we shouldn't have to. Getting the *C* on a sports team shouldn't be the PC thing to do for this team. Everyone knows it was the *thing* the team had to do, but everyone also knows he's not the leader.

The team does rally around him. Early in the season he got into two fights in one game IIRC, the teamed rallied for a week on that. They are in desperate need of a true leader, weather the leader wears the *C* or not is immaterial.

The way we win this is not by Tage being better or as good as ROR. He's never going to be a solid second line 2 way center. Those are very hard to get. If Tage winds up being a good second or third line winger with a snipers skill that is hard to find AND we get a draft pick that is at least a 3rd line guy I think we broke even. If half of the rumors are true about the baggage ROR is carrying around , then just Tage being a steady 3rd line winger is a win.

I voted yes. Because I want to believe. I want to watch till mid April games that really matter, and not for draft position.

I believe the Sabres would be a much better team if a player with ROR's stats was still on the team or added to the team in the off season. I don't believe the team would be better with ROR. I will run with a GM's instinct that there was something making the team worse that should have been better on paper. I'm sure JBott's knew the on paper concept of ROR, his stats, but his chemistry was killing the most important stat. Wins and losses.

I'm sitting here thinking that this is logically true. But we have been through multiple winning vets and Jack is still Jack. Mario was also the owner at the time and was playing ? He alone could change any player in that type of environment. I'm not sure any combination of the rest would/will have.

I thought Hunwick was just fine against the Jets. He was invisible. Perfect for the 3rd pairing alternate guy.

Only half a day? I've spent half my life trying to get to a functional state. ?

Hay now, before you start beating me with a *****-willow switch I just want to say it was all in good humor. ? Spell check does not allow the actual name of the tree. I am offended also. being a tree guy and all.

Good Irish boy I see. ? On a cold winters day I would expect a little Kapusniak. I've had the Zywiek and Tyskie beer. I liked both. I have not tried any of the others you have in the pic.

You're right. But I'm good with it if they do.

I am going to stick with this one tid bid I mentioned while at the game. Skinner is more abrasive, or physical, or controlling, dominant, self imposing, will asserting, game changing, or how ever you want to phrase it than any other player on this team. If he signs a long term contract with the Sabres and the team gives him the *C*. I'm really good with that. Contract and the *C*.

There is more than one band called *The Clash*? It may not their best, but Us mortals do like it. A lot. But you don’t understand my point of view/I suppose there’s nothing I can do Don't make me get all punk on you.... ? Love you NS! Knew I'd get you going!

E Rod. Mr Hussel of the game.

Boo. That is all we hear. Bad call.

That was a save that a good goalie needs to make. To be so dominate and give up goall there would be so bad.

There is more than one ? ? Rock the something or another...

Just before the last penalty was called The Clash was playing. Karma? Maybe. I say just play more!

The Sabres are getting confidence. They are confident they are better. The fans can see it also. Detroit will lose.

Old guy love is the Best!
