    I like that our last 2 players selected have physical traits, much like the player we picked up in the deal with the Caps, they are emphasizing that we need to get more physical but the thing I don't like is that we waited this long to get these types of players but baby steps I guess. 

    I'm sure Lindy had some say in this. The last several Sabres coaches were all yes men. Thank God for Lindy Ruff. Not sure he'll take the Sabres to the promised land as HC, but at least he knows your team needs to get tougher in this league.

    Really? I'm not seeing it. Not out of control, anyways.

    I just mean over 6 mins without a whistle, missed calls. Back and forth, goalies standing on their heads, big hits etc. Out of control in a good way.

    Slew foot was another of his dirty plays. That s**t can end a career.

    Marchand was always good with the slew foots as well. Just like Crosby always seemed to get away with spearing after a faceoff.

    Yeah, he only got two minutes for interference. Head shot. Hard to judge in real time but the refs did review for a 5 minute major.

    I thought for sure that was be a 5 min major and a game. It was clearly contact to the head. 

    PK Subban says, yeah there was contact to the head, but I thought the refs made the right call after the review. Then says he loved the hit. He was always a headhunter, so I'm not surprised he was fine with it. F'n idiot.

    Miles Wood got an albatross of a contract for a guy in his position; I liked him in NJ but the contract he got was absurd

    I don't know the details of his contract, but I do like his game. He is the type of player the Sabres could use. There is just no toughness throughout the organization. Anton Wahlberg looks like he could be the real deal, but he needs a few years.

  6. Seeing how they didn't immediately name Paetsch or Prospal the next Amerks coach....yet, I wonder if there are any names people would think of. I can think of a few, but the only problem is, how many want to actually become a head coach. 

    Local boys, Ryan Callahan or Brian Gionta. Would Mike Peca leave the Rangers to take an AHL head coaching job? (I highly doubt it). What's Jim Hofford up to these days? He was selling insurance last I knew. Marty Biron? Andrew Peters would be fun. He would at least leave the bench and get into a fight.

    Just throwing darts. And I'm sure someone I've never heard of will come in.

    Wish he was 

    Kid is tough as nails. I would also love Sam Bennett. The interview he did with TNT after the game yesterday was great. I wish they would've picked up Buffalo native Miles Wood, but apparently he's too tough for what the Sabres are looking for.
