Ovi in. Glad I don't have tickets for tonight's game.... This one should be very painful $100 that Ovi scores in the first 5 mins of the game

Obviously he didn't impress since he's already heading back to Rochester. i do believe, unless he's packaged during the draft, he'll be full time next season as a final do or die tryout.

This is exactly why I hate when people use the Pens to convince others about tanking. Most teams that are mentioned in a pro-tank argument didn't "tank" on purpose. They were desimated by various reasons but usually by crappy owners or horrendous management. This is why it's such a hot button issue with the Sabres right now. Darcy regier openly anounced that they were gutting the team for one purpose and one purpose only. I think this is why I hate it as much as I do. If this was done during the golisano era then it would have been widely accepted as a owner looking at the bottom line and not winning.

The issue I see is his attitude, some say it's his maturity level, others (I for one) think that he believes that he is better than he really is. He expects to be a top line center and will accept nothing less. Hopefully with Murray kicking his ass to the AHL for the season helped humble him a bit and he plays better this call up. I really feel that Murray/Nolan is growing weary of Grigorenko. So much so that I think this is his make or break call up. If he plays bad he will be banished to Rochester until he gets traded. He should get a nice long look, he better take this opportunity by the balls

This team will not win another game

Hopefully the Sabres will become a top contending team. I am not convinced because we cannot see into the future. There is still a crap load of variables that will go into making this team a contender. I have to admit that downtown is changing a quite a bit. That will definitely help change the attitude of the players, especially once Pegula builds the Bills stadium downtown.
