Don't put it all on TT ... defense gave up 29 straight f*in points ...

Great players starting with the QB make coaches great ... where would Belichick be if the Pats had not drafted Brady ? Or Walsh without Montana ? Holmgren without Favre ? I'm going with majority right place right time.

You are probably right, but the next 7 might change their mind.

Sportsclubstats has the Bills with a 20% chance of making the playoffs going a minimum of 6-1 to get to 10-6 and have a decent shot. More likely for them to go 8-8, 9-7 as they could easily lose this week on the road, most likely to the Raiders and maybe Pittsburgh. Even with all of the injuries, I'd be surprised if the Ryan bros are kept around.

You won't have to wait that long ... losses to Arizona and the Pats will seal his fate.

Pretty sad when the odds of the Sabres getting a regulation win in October are practically zero.

Or maybe they'll just cut him and he'll bleed Brahmin blue all over the ice. Wonder what they called Iginla before he became a Bruin ?

Get the carnies to tear down this circus, forfeit tomorrow, and end the season with 81 games. No one seems to care anymore - all fans tomorrow should boycott the "game". What an embarassment to the city of Buffalo ...

Jokerit will welcome him back with open arms ...

Chris Chelios is available ...

Ruhwedel almost bald at 23 ? Even Jim Furyk had hair at 23 ...

Last chance for Cool Hand Luke - put him on the 1st line with Leino.

Ask Matt D'Agostini if Chara is slow ...

Was that Ales Kotalik dressed up as Ville Leino as an April Fool's joke ?

It's worth $50 not to see Leino playing ...

I was hoping someone would have asked Nolan yesterday if Ville was making the trip ...

After the buyout, Ville will morph into a player again a la Brad Boyes and probably kill the Sabres in some game in the future.

You mean he can't coast through some of his shifts anymore ?

And after 2+ periods, Leino has no shots on goal.

Leino says he's gonna shoot more - doesn't he know you need to have the puck on your stick to shoot ?

Is Rip retiring ?

Yep, I'm already liking our chances of having him resign with the Blues.

Millsie's interviews are definitely a little more upbeat ... must be a load off to see only 17 shots and have a team that can answer after being down 2.

If the Teddy is really the coach most of us think he is, why does he need Patty as cover ? Why not just let your performance speak for you ? If TP really cares about a Cup and Teddy produces toward that end, that should be enough. I think Teddy is more concerned at this point with the well being of his good friend.
