So long Ryan and Steve. You are character guys...I hope you win for the Blues and give us another #1. But I think the Sabres won the trade. I like stock-piling number #1s. Sounds like Sam Pollock and the old Mtl. Canadiens. I like giving Stewart a chance to be a star and Halak can actually come into his own if Buffalo is his kind of town. Or Enroth can finally come into his own. It's all good.

Prediction time: who's getting traded, and when?
Marvelo replied to nfreeman's topic in The Aud Club
Stamkos to the Sabres with Moulson, Myers and Pysyk in return. -
It's all about $. Since the Dream Team, the Olympics have been corrupted and tainted forever. Only it still looks and sounds like the Olympics on TV. There is no turning back.

I played street hockey against Jay McKee when he was just a rookie at the Lathrop St. American Indoor Street Hockey Center. Don't remember much about him, just that everyone was buzzing about him.

I was playing street hockey in my driveway with my brother and buds when a shirtless Gil Perreault, who lived in the neighborhood on Ranch Trail West in Williamsville, (we lived on Ranch Trail) drove right up in the driveway. The game stopped and I was the representative of my friends. In his familiar broken English, he asked me if I knew anyone who had a riding lawnmower, who could cut his lawn. Unfortunately, my family didn't have one and neither did any of my friends so I had to say no. Then without getting out of the car to play or talk to us kids, he backed out of the situation and out of our lives. It was a huge moment in my teenhood. Here he was, the Babe Ruth of Buffalo sports, right in my driveway!....Just wish he would've gotten out and played with us a while. (My brother was in goal) Truth be told, I would've cut his lawn with a pair of scissors. Also my dad used to get haircuts with Scotty Bowman at a barber shop in the Maple-North Forest Plaza.

The hockey this Olympics has been slap in the face to the NHL and Bettman.

They should combine snowboarding with skeet shooting.

Right with Thurman. I've heard the stories about the drinking though before SB 25 and IMO there should've been an investigation and if it was found out, then Kelly and whoever else were implicatedvshould've been barred from the HOF. There seems to have been a more indepth investigation to this Austrian team fiasco than our SB Bills. I guess that's the kind of journalism we're used to at The Buffalo Snooze.

true but he's a fringe player although I hope he makes it. Many of these Quebecois have extraordinary skills...something we really need. -

A question I have is why can't the Sabres get more French Canadian players? There's not even one on our team right now. Not sure if we have any in the pipeline either. Many of these players were almost born with skates on their feet. Hockey is in their blood. Montreal/Quebec is synonymous with hockey. They drive to the net like no other. We have a great history with them, Perreault-Martin-Robert, Pominville, Briere...Why can't we have more? -

Didn't Leino just get canned from The Tonight Show?

damn I'm impressed with this USA-Canada women's hockey game. They pass much better than the Sabres!

So far, nothing. Murray has been interviewed and that's the only thing we can go by with this man. I'm starting to suspect that he's a doughier, gum chewing version of Darcy, always with the standoffish double talk. I'm not sure he has the flair to pull off the kind of trades Regier pulled off these last few years, since he himself admitted, he hasn't developed a trusted circle of trading partners yet. Darcy's problem was he could pull off amazing trades but it never amounted to anything. Remember, Murray is a rookie GM we're talking about here. I wouldn't expect too much. Btw my prediction: Regier replaces Snow. http://video.sabres.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=1373&id=557250&lang=en&navid=DL|BUF|home -

You got me wrong. I'm only here to point out problems, not offer solutions. -

I think the Buffalo Sabres is an organization in chaos. I'm not sure if the management is good enough to make this small market team excel again, let alone become respectable. It's a long way up. -

I like Ted Nolan and the players have said they like him and he's made a huge difference in their approach to playing the game. They're feeling better about themselves, they understand their roles, blah blah blah. But they're still losing almost all the time. I wonder how much difference Nolan has made with this team. If you project RR's record out to this point of the season, it would probably be similar or the same. Why can't the Sabres ever get a replacement coach who completely turns the team around immediately? Are the players that flawed/mismatched for each other that a true injection of leadership has no effect in the standings? (Note: we're still dead last.) -
