Yes, he does. Hence why I'm not happy he was even on the Sabres.

The rat doesn't have the balls, Risto would smash him into an accordion.

Yes, let the rat play flow from Boston's players........... They are so concerned dishing out the physical play, they've taken their eye off the goal...... This will be their undoing, tired in the 3rd they will be....... We have them right where we want them.......... Buf 3 - Bos 2

That feeling is building..... They've weathered the physical play.......... They came out of the period tied, and drew first blood........ I can feel that feeling again, Buf 3 - Bos 2

To much passing, stop it already, keep it low, to the pads, rebound, rebound, I said.....REBOUND!!!!!

Come on Granato.... Give Risto the nod..... RISTO SMASH!!!

Ray giving Hall the verbal abuse lol

What happened? Ullmark out?

NICE

Hall went where he wanted to go. I have no complaints about him doing so, Adams signed the NMC giving the player control, expectations should have been tempered on the return. I also have no problems with Adams giving Hall the NMC. Mad? Nah. Not happy with Hall's overwhelmingly subpar play while eating 8 million of cap space all the while chuckling in the back of his head because he knows it's merely a matter of time before he he issues his "I'm only going here" orders? Yes, not happy with that at all. The guy gave little to nothing here in Buffalo biding his time to go to Boston. Piece......of.......(you know).

Happy Birthday kid. Now, go net 3 tonight to seal a win.

Tonight will lend further credence to whether or not he will be a serious candidate for the HC position. If he can position his youth to take advantage of Boston's weakened back end and win the game, it will add additional evidence he should be considered. I've already called it, Buf 3 - Bos 2 for tonight's tilt. I am hopeful my hunch is correct.

Hagel has looked really good. Good skater to.

Depleted D will cost the Bruins. Hall will be a minor 1st game with new team nuisance. I feel confident in our young guns, Buf 3 - Bos 2 when all is said and done.

Tampa, again

There are great minds on this board, well educated, much more professional hockey educated than myself, and I read, respect and have great admiration for them all. So what I am about to say must be kept within the context of my own limitations when those that read this, read it. But how in the hell can an organization screw this up this badly? I mean honestly, how on God's green earth can this franchise continue to hire hockey schmuck after hockey schmuck to bring us to 10 years of misery? While I am no genius, at this time, I'll say it straight out, there are many of us here who can do a better job, including myself, and as I said, I'm no self professed hockey guru, but he'll fire, even a broke clock is right twice a day. This whole decade long affair surely staggers the imagination. I digress. They appear to be somewhat stabilizing.

"The type of team that I would like to create here will be, in conjunction with the head coach that we bring in, is a team that plays a high tempo," Botterill said. "A lot of times people think high-tempo, dump-and-chase. No, it's a high-tempo, puck-possession game. We tried to, whether it was in Pittsburgh or whether it was in Wilkes-Barre where you have less skill, you can still play a high-percentage, high-intensity game, but I think some of the success in Pittsburgh is from the standpoint of simplicity, a north-south game. But if you're asking me what exactly we're doing, it's up-tempo, puck-possession, north-south game." Jason Botterill hired as Sabres general manager (nhl.com)

What a haul.

Under just about any other circumstances I would say good, don't sell short at the deadline, wait until the off season. But I've seen this dance before, welcome to Groundhog Day, Buffalo Sabres Style. Where the Sabres market faithful once again won't even get a courtesy reach around while going through the arena turnstiles next season.

Someone, anyone with a set of balls in the Buffalo sports market care to ask Adams, "what about the Buffalo fan base, have THEY NOT earned the right to expect AND receive the best for them?

Exactly. And yet, our illustrious management team sits idle on the same core that has gotten is exactly nowhere. I'll tell ya NS, remember those conversations on Ehlers? Of we only had a management team with vision.

Now that's a trade.

So, is he in play, or no?

Meh, Minnesota maybe?

You ain't seen nothin' yet... Wait till the Eichel and/or Reinhart trade is announced today...... 🙂
