Still not with Rochester? He sat in the press box this past game no?

I am curious if they took Baptiste on this west coast swing with them because a deal is close with Kane. He's sitting in the press box, no?

All quiet on the western front still?

I wouldn't fire him, but he has to figure out some way of getting more competitive hockey out of these guys.

I think it's safe to say the Lehner trade isn't working out. Can't see us getting a 2nd rd pick for him. Maybe a 3rd or 4th?

The wife called me in to see the last 2 minutes. Ugly, just ugly. Housley has some blame in this. I don't care how bad your chemistry is, 7 against is just putrid. But the players themselves should be embarresed, completely ashamed of themselves.

Back patio salted. Waiting to clear :) What did o miss? 6, 6 to 1? Dammit Housley, WTF?

Yikes!!! Salted the drive and walk, went out to clear the slush, come back in to 5 to 1. Well, I'm going to do the back patio, good luck boys, make it a come back.

Wow, how in the hell can any excuse for this team be justified. Without a doubt the worst Sabres team I've seen in 40 years. Just pull the ..ing trigger already Botterill. Get this show rolling.

After watching Winnipeg it reminded me so much of the 05 to 07 Sabres. With the NHL fluctuating every 5 to 7 years between a heavy game with clutch and grab and a speed skill game, unless Buffalo gets back to that speed game they'll continue to get burned regardless if they have ROR or not. ROR, is he a luxury or a necessity, or, a liability? In my opinion, somewhere between all 3. But he's no leader, but has shown a brief flash or 2 of clutch. Tough call on whether to hang on to him or not. If a deal comes along at the end of next season, when his actual salary drops to 6 mil for the last 4 years of his contract comes along, I wouldn't be opposed to Botterill pulling the trigger.

Lehner doesn't do a lot of things well. Its like watching someone trying to eat chicken noodle soup with a fork.

Wouldn't we have heard about a trade by now? Maybe he's going to be showcased this weekend?

Hey, they're only down by 1, I see a historic comeback happening.....

I think the Sabres win this one.

I have to wonder about the return. 7.5 a season is stiff, especially if other GM's recognize the lack of speed as a problem as well.

Yep I like the way Bots is playing this.

Kids only 19. There's still a couple years yet.

It was the only thing I remembered about the player because it was on NHL network awhile back when I was catching a game. Outside of that, had really never heard of the player.

Who said I cared?

Isn't JT Brown the guy who keeled for the Anthem?

Calgary. Don't know who, but scouting each other through out December, I think its Calgary.

I'll do Ullmark as our starter. He looks ready. Has performed ready. Its time. There are no gurantee's of Hasek or Miller, there are, of course, no gurantee's Ullmark can't perform at that level. What I can surmise is this, he's an option that removes the current disaster in goal. He's done well to this point, give him the job starting next season and the contract to boot.

I think this may be the time for Kane to move.

Rochester looking good against Bing

Doubt it
