A lot of Beer leagues are notoriously rough. There are always more that a few guys in them that can't play hockey at all, that want the enforcer role, or that deliver late checks in a no-check league. I've seen lots of injuries in these "leagues".

There should be nothing to correlate between Sabres and Bills wins and losses. I do have one superstition though. Once a Bills game starts I will not look at anything Sabres, no posting here, no checking scores, no talking about them. The Bills get all my attention. This is coming from a long time Buffalo hockey fanatic. I wasn't always like this, but I don't want to taint the Bills experience with Sabres. I believed in the concept of One Buffalo before PSE came up with it. But it goes far beyond sports teams and more to the community. Once a West Sider, always a West Sider.

And no reason to hold anything back at KC. Throw everything it takes at them. Bury them.

I think the Bills played a great game in crappy weather against a very good team. Best wishes to them next week in the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP Game. I have been rooting for a Super Bowl since they created it. It can happen. This team is good enough to win.

McD praises and thanks God after every game in his interview. Every week, after every game. That’s him. Schopp should know that.

I think we can adjust to a one dimensional run game. If the Ravens can run and pass then it gets dicey. Bills have been a better 2nd half team this year. Keep the faith. Sometimes the answers is to just tackle better.

It will probably be true if he picks NCAA players.

You rated Quinn's stock as up and JJP as down? I have it the other way. I think JJP is a bit of a victim of all the line changes and having to play with Cozens and the other kids. JJP started out fine playing with a healthy Tage and Tuch, but his game has slipped just like the rest of them. There is just too much shuffling going on as Lindy looks for combinations that might work. Shuffling cannot fix the problems with the talent and the lack of experience. Terry wanting to move out contracts to save money sounds about right. Inserting Karmanos as GM and moving Adams into a new job is probably a mistake. Adams will still want to be part of the hockey operations brain trust and that could stifle real change, impact Karmanos' ability to make moves, and could also lead to factions within the ranks. I have seen this happen in organizations many times over. Usually its best to move the old boss completely out.

The guy for what? I look forward to seeing Levi in the net again, but only to see if his game has progressed. Give. him the net in a September? He should have to earn that. If he can beat out UPL then he gets the net.

I am excited, and nervous, about this game. I think we can win it. It's time for our defense to shine. The team is healthy, they are home, and Allen has played his most steady and consistent football ever. Go Bills!

Interesting to hear two points of view on the UPL head hit. I have seen a lot of hockey games, players will take liberties and act like it was unintentional. Especially when there is no fear of retaliation.

I missed the game. So now I hear Malkin hit UPL in the head?

I was surprised by the players comments at locker clean out. They fiercely defended Granato during the season, recall the fan salute thing, and then afterwards It felt like some of the players were throwing him under the bus. Very strange situation in Sabreland.
