Irwin might be a good choice....kill two birds with one stone.

Time for somebody to exercise a late hit on Sid....sorry, I'm pissed.

This might be Sheahan's best game this season. He's been very noticeable tonight.

JJ.....Stay on your damm skates!

Victor needs to teach his teammates how to shoot without having to handle the puck first. Other guys spend too much time receiving the puck before they shoot it....giving time for the defense to block it or netminder to make the save.

It's lent....I had to come up with some kind of sacrifice until Easter.

I sure wish we still had Scandella right now...JBOT's trade last year was embarrassing. Granted he may have walked away on his own, but even on his worst day he is better than Irwin's best.

Unfortunately JJ showing again his less-than-stellar shootout form.....ugh! He needs to make that stop.

I've had this crazy thought lately that the coaching staff should play him at FORWARD for a little while. He needs to reacquire a comfort level to pursue the puck, skate freely, pass and shoot! Give him some shifts at forward to give him some freedom to do so. Yes I know we are short on LH defense, but he needs something to snap out of it!

I would contend he plays bigger than his size...which IMHO is the opposite of many other Sabres!

Hell of a pass by Cozens there....TT almost had his second of the period......almost.

Old and wise....like Yoda!

Bryson continuing to stand out....has 3 of the team's 5 SOG's so far in the 1st.

Aye, Casey WTH!!!

OR as Kruppstahl noted in another thread...JJ may be seeing some starts because he might be trade material.

I'm thankful for seeing a different team tonight....really tired of seeing the downstate teams over and over again.

Yes, I would agree they would both satisfy my criteria as proven and experienced. I have difficulty deciding who I prefer first though. I am not in the Claude Julian bandwagon as I want to see a team that can win without necessary a rigid "defense first" approach.

Yes...my way of looking at this is that an experienced and proven HC won't come here just for money and no talent, but would want to see some solid pieces and players to work with. There needs to be a good pool of talent that they feel can use as fixed points to help drive their strategy and achieve early success.

Interesting....does this hat come with a built-in/pull-down paper bag with eye cut-outs so that it can be worn during home games?

Wrong sequence above...but my point is they can't do anything right as well. Aside from the long running on-ice disaster...they screw up even the simple events....remember the 50th jersey fiasco with cheap imitation jerseys and wrong spelling? Some of their other events were really LAME as well....ex. Hasek's jersey retirement was pitiful.

Yes...that would be nice...just wondering if Dahlin has Bryson's speed? Steve Smith has demonstrated that he CAN'T coach with two different HC's and needs to be gone!

Did Rob Ray just complain "I'm just glad to get off this road trip because it's been a long one".....WTH - he and Dan are broadcasting from Key Bank in Buffalo! I guess he must have a long flight home.

You're supposed to try and win....not play keep away

Mittelstadt should have fresh legs....give him a shift.

Case in point....Montour's goal tonight!
