Let's take a look at the Hierarchy Pegula - Loves Ruff Regier - Loves Ruff Ruff - Wants to win a Cup here or die trying See where this is going? Ruff is not going anywhere and Darcy just got extended so I think it IS time to discuss players. O'Reilly is exactly the direction this team needs to go in and Buffalo has proven it is NOT a destination for the super stars (Nash, Richards, Parisi, Suter, etc..). O'Reilly is the best of what the Sabres can hope to get and they would be crazy not to make a move...

I'll take my chances on a 6' 200 pound natural Center who seems to be coming into his own right now over a 5/9 155 pound wing who was converted to Center. Personally, I see more potential in O'Reilly and a nice piece to add to make a contending roster. The team as it is built right now is going NOWHERE and I have no interest in battling for the 8 spot for the next 5 years. Take a chance at the best center you will see become available for a while. They got Hodgson last year, drafted Grigs and now go get the possible missing center. Let those 3 battle for the top 3 lines and off we go....

I would be very curious to see if Ennis and any prospect they want would get it done....

Who is your roster player and who is your prospect? Adding another young up and coming Center which may fortify your Center lineup for 10 years is one BIG step in the right direction... Hodgson O'Reilly Grigs Girgenson (next year) Talk about a youth movement and you can put together whatever wingers you want. This needs to be the signature move by Pegula and has got to be on the forefront of what they are thinking as the future of this team. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/12/report-avs-want-roster-player-top-prospect-for-oreilly/

I would seriously think about trading Vanek and wait until Stafford gets a couple to trade him as well. Ruff is staying so this team need to be gutted. Players gone by next year: Vanek Leino Stafford Gerbe Leopold Ennis (part of a package trade - maybe with Vanek to get a real center)

Looks like I may have sold the Bs game on Friday, anyone for Tuesday Jets game?

At least the Bills have tailgates that make for a great day. This team has driven me to sell every game I can possibly unload.

I give up, this team is so ###### boring

Idiots

2 fckn brutal calls, come on!

Tonight Sabes win by multiple goals and the atmosphere takes a big turn for the better when Boston arrives on Friday. Stafford gets his 1st goal.....

Truth be told, can anyone stop the Devils and Hawks anyway .....

And Pommer just said exactly this....at LEAST they recognize it

Not quite sure what this team can really do without Miller.....ugh

Is there nobody in Rochester who can replace Gerbe? He is totally useless....

Right before that goal I was thinking - NOW they are playing!

What I can't figure out is why EVERY team we play can set it up at will and Buffalo has absolutely no idea how to even do it on the PP. Don't tell me coaching because it is way beyond that...

If there was ever a time to sit Stafford, It's tonight. His replacement will be fresh, Myers will be fresh and hopefully the D is one game closer to figuring out the lockout is over.

Just misremember the first 2 periods and we are good to go!

Ok, anything but 2 goals in 7 minutes for bad guys

Well, if they do win the Cup someday, we now know that Ruff will be the coach hoisting it. I think it is now evident that aside from another Center, this team needs to have that one pair of shutdown defensemen. Is Myers half of that pair?

It was much louder (and they were losing)

They proved 2 points. Take it and move on as there is too much negativity surrounding this team. This is the team that is sticking this year so time for everybody to accept it. I like what Vanek said after the game saying the crowd really does put a jump in their step. Atmosphere HAS to change in that rink as it's getting embarassing...

I stayed until the end just to make sure I kept my word......Never had a doubt :unsure:

Sekera is back this weekend and Regehr is very close too
