I sent out some trade offers. I donno if anyone will like the offers but feel free to counter, I just want to get the talks started. :thumbsup: I'm lookin to move: MacArthur, Zherdev, and one of my goalies: Steve Mason, JS Giguere, Nikolai Khabibulin

booooo

blah blah blah washington is good blah blah ovechkin blah blah -- if the Sabres play well for a full 60 minutes they can beat anyone. anyone can beat anyone with a good effort. Sorry that me having faith in my team is so offensive to a fellow "fan."

I think the Sabres need a blowout one of these days. 6-1 Buffalo after a 4 goal first period. #predictions

i'm very content with seeing vancouver twice a year :thumbsup:

That was sick. I bet PA never watches a standard def game again

Strictly hunches and hopes. So I can say TheSportsBuff reported it first... LOL ... (no i did not really write a blog on this)

MORE TO CRAIG RIVET RETIREMENT RUMOR???? Just a thought here guys, don't take it for an actual rumor. I didn't even see the report about the Sabres asking Rivet to retire (on hockeybuzz or otherwise), but what if there's more to it than we think? I think the organization is ready to move on from Rivet probably both as Captain and as a member of their team in general. But pro sports organizations do generally operate with class, and they probably don't want to disrespect a veteran of the game who (it may not be true, but..) they will credit with being a leader for this team through some tough years, some highs and lows etc. My point is they don't want to strip him of captaincy and would rather he retire if he's ready. Rivet thinks he has a few years left and asked for a trade and is being shopped. Derek Roy debuts the "C" tonight.

I noticed that too. But hey, if theres a team you can feel good about playing your backup against, it's the Sabres.

lol montador and myers spend more time laying down on the ice than i do in my bed

I don't see how you can really blame a bad pass on anyone BUT the player who made the pass.

Keep pretending Lalime is a good goaltender and that it's the team's fault he's won 5 of 35 games the last few years

i haven't "mailed it in" my team is just struggling. call me darcy but i think they will come on! i have missed setting my roster a few times but overall i've been keeping my line up set, i check all three of my leagues every two-three days

Lol, okay let's not get too carried away here. Kovalchuk is still a Top 10 (maybe Top 5) player in the game. You know you would have welcomed him with open arms had we signed him, so don't act all "HAHA YOU WERE WRONG, I WAS RIGHT" about him just yet.

Ok, what one of you ###### that always spells CONNOLLY as CONNELLY got a job w/ the MSG Sabres broadcast team??

cut him some slack bro he's tripping balls

JOCHENNN!!!

shift of the year by ennis!!

Roy makes up for his though.

Come on Roy, use your hand.

hahaha I know he's not gonna be some darkhorse hero or anything but I really do like his game (for what he is). hell i bet you like him more than stafford

MATT ELLIS!!!! YES!! I know you guys don't like him but I LOVED him last season and I'm happy that you guys who said he wouldn't even get a call up were wrong!! Maybe he will provide a spark.

at least i'll always have my connolly jersey

8' was an exaggeration, but I've seen Ennis throw it at least 5 or 6 feet in the air to get it across the zone. Care to guess what happens when it hits the ice? It bounces in a random direction over his team mates stick. It's a stupid pass. As for the strength thing, maybe if we're talking "down the ice" distances, like 100 feet or more, then it's harder to lift it. But I'm even smaller than Ennis is and I can make the long lob passes he has tried rather easily (distance wise). I put a lot more on it when I'm making a long pass or even just trying to take a low shot. Either way it's a pointless argument. Ennis has been decent, but he's had his share of mistakes as well. His shot on the breakaway was bad. Most of his shots look really slow.

that explains why roby harry and I had a hell of a time, while tc was trippin
