North Buffalo

Danielle Paille will be FA just announced by Baston... Worth a look?

True that would be great..

Exactly.... There is saving face and bold faced disingeniousness. Bill Clinton saying I did not have sex with that woman is bold faced... So is TM's comment about finishing last and blaming TN. So leave it at "finishing 30th wasn't a goal"..don't add the second clause.... Dude needs a better P.R. person that he will listen to and follow directions from. If not this kind of thing is gonna keep happening.

PA you are clairvoyant! We will see, his Uncle sucked while he was at Washington in the 90s and he was always considered a bit of a Bastag.... Don't like his style nor his Uncle's back then.

Really! I want the Sabres to be a standup organization and win the cup... This isn't Boston to quote Sam Wyche... this is Buffalo... I don't think Murray ever gave him a shot or there would have been more communication... it was a PR stunt to have someone to blame for winning the Shart. Nolan can be criticized for young player development, but I think even there he was making strides.... mind you not one of his strengths. But you can't tell me Murray didn't expect this from the beginning. I am really concerned that we have an fargin icehole running this team that may or may not have the talent to recruit players and retain a good coach. Appearances as well as performance are important... as someone said TM reminds of something that rhymes with easel... but looks more like and angry woodchuck, a pissed off shortsighted little critter often seen dead along side the road because of that.

Im a little upset but agree nonetheless, my concern now is for this GM and any other coach that comes in.

Just say I think we need to go in another direction with this young team and it implies enough abt TNolan without being a douche.

So why even make a statement abt 30th place team. Makes no sense... loose lips kinda thing like the reported McDavid stuff... Needs to be more circumspect... In public.

Yeh and that statement alone worries me about TM... No responsibilty for his side of the street and classless statement.

TPegs better hope so, not sure I buy Murray being someone easy to work with and Sabres dont need a kiss ass young neophyte coach.

And as been said TN was set up to fail, the fact that TM barely spoke with Nolan is the clearest indication of not having a working relationship. TM must do better with next coach especially one of his choosing or the next one is on him. If this is an indication of TM style TPegs needs to abandon ship now. TM needs to be a good eval of talent and be able to communicate that with coach.

Agreed dont need a rookie coach... If that is Murray's plan I will be advocating Murray be fired from jump.

I am sad really like T Nolan, that being said timing this quick is a bit of a surprise, but maybe not. Jeez I hope TM doesnt start a revolving door...

The Goalie wisperer...

Ennis McEichel Kane Moulson, Reinhart, Gionta Foligno, Girgensons, Grigerenko Batiste, Larsson, Deslauriers *Bailey Risto, Zads Bogo, Pysyk Gorges, McCabe One of the current Makarov?Lindback? I am still not sure about Moulson who showing signs of age, but to start the year I am ok with him. Also, I think Kaleta still has a role early on especially on the checking line and until he gets hurt. Not for trading for whats his name from Colorado... to expensive for the talent and don't need another head case. Jagr or Moulson but not both. Nice to have some developing centers with talent. Sabres need to draft wingers and another D after the first pick.

Hogson and Stafford were whipping boys but Weber was the Mascot, but really don't want to pin that one on him cause he was loyal to the end and he fought so hard... Maybe Ellis... a guy with no skill that just wouldn't go away.

That would make my season.... Agreed send Cindy home in a body bag... It is a new era... the McEichel era and it ain't in Western, PA

Thanks as well and X-LAX awards are appropriate. Pepto Bismal for the acid reflux crowd...

True, I was 10 and still have my hockey stick autographed by the '75 Sabres....

It will nice next season to actually depend on regular points and not this backward linear coefficient p value statical estimation of finishing last. So it will be the chances of finishing first, now I have to listen to local sports radio talk about the insufferable Strangers. I hope they lose in the first round... P.S. Matt Harvey looked awesome yesterday...

I feel a cathartic sense of reflief... kinda like a morning constitutional...hmmm, ahhhh, sigh :)

Coyote howl somewhere... Yip Yip Yahooooooooo. Can I see a pic of the trophy?

True, but at least you have always known what is needed.... Centers.

Was even more scared when the Sabres pulled the goalie.. I was thinking just don't do it... Why?

Shart is won... Sabres won.
