North Buffalo

True but Versteeg for Bogo is advantage Hawks Oops wrong.

Sabre hitting has caught chi off guard espec. 2nd period. A little more talent in the middle some tightening of the young D and this should be a fun team to watch and I can see the nasty coming.

This is the heavy game I expect to see next year.

Shots on goal chi by 1, 12-11 not bad

PP not bad and theyvare winning faceoffs... That will be good if continues next year.

Yup this one looks like it could get ugly fast.

Congress

And while coming out and saying we are tanking is honest, business wise may be an iffy strategy before the seasone, once it appeared the Sabres would suck the only rational fan option is to support the tank. if the hockey brain trust of the Sabres as it appears figured that out earlier, then so be it. But at some point though it may offend fan sensibility, going against the tank past December of this year brings into question in my mind your Sabre loyalty or in the very least your level of denial about this teams potential for success without tanking longterm.

Or just Bush ... Tried and true.

I think you have an interesting thought in search of a problem. I don't think tanking if you have a bad team is a problem and people who say otherwise I question their loyalty to the Sabres. If tanking makes sense talent wise economically and commercially then I have no problem with it if it means future reward.

You stole my thunder, first reaction Darcy before I even looked at options, and this is a result of action before he joined AZ

Yup and had a goal and an asst in last nights beer league game. We won 6-3 and are 4-0 this season. we will see how long it lasts.Ps i said lips not whose...

Lips are sealed.

Faith in tank being restored

4 of them are on the Kings now and look where they are at 9th looking in how ironic

He made it necessary for the tank to occur by not finding 2 centers.... So glad his incompetency is gone, that being said, Murray needs to show his judge of talent is better. Jury is positive, but still out.

no we didnt, that being said it would it be worth one more year.

Also what is population of Hamilton/Burlington and areas twds Niagra Falls add that in and you have a lot denser area.

They broke 50 points, that is an accomplishment with this team. Nolan deserves all the credit. Not sure if that helps him much. Fell asleep, couldn't watch, but I find it ironic a TM defenseman won the game...Mess even the king of shart this season.

Really I think both likely.

Rule #9 is douchey but not wrong.

Most agree... the thing is everyone could see that this team was bottom 5 from the beginning of the year unlike the Leaves. So rooting for the top pick is understandable especially after the trade deadline when it became so obvious that there was nothing left to cheer for. Next year is a whole nother animal. Not saying they will make the playoffs, but the building blocks are available to start developing. Maybe one more top 5 depending on record and circumstance, but at least as others have said not this boring crap Sabres are calling professional hockey. Heck my beer league team looks better than them on some nights.

Agreed, slow news time right now. The fact that Mike and Mike are focusing on hockey is a step in the right direction. Still until ESPN actually covers the sport, I say a big whatever. P.S. I seem to remember the Colt fans cheering the other team toward the end of the year before they drafted Luck.... Whatever.

That is called repression and it tends to come out sideways, at the worst time. This is an appropriate time to do what fans did. Not saying I would, but I understand.

Maybe, but the emotionally sophisticated response was this. Otherwise, when we all get old and demented we will constantly cussing out Mike Weber and telling Dangerslakov to go f himself for losing. Some of us may do this right after the Sabres win the cup being oblivious so. Get it off your chest I say... :P Seen it happen on a ward full of demented people. The most repressed have the most verbal diarrhea... scary what this say about all of this on this board...hmmm
