Sabres Fan in NS

I agree. I never said it was KA deciding to call up Levi. I did say that this situation is KA admitting, without saying or doing anything, to the fans, the coach and himself that his Comrie signing was a mistake.

All good points. KA has admitted a mistake on his part in signing Comrie, who by all accounts is a great guy. He has racalled a rockie instead of a vet with the playoff chances dangling by a thread. He trusts Levi more, which is the only logical way to think. It's a preasure cooker for Levi to be thrust into a literal must win game - no matter when he plays. I am guessing he will get Vancouver. It's a chance for him to shine and could be a motivator for the whole team. On the other hand, it could all just as easily blow up in their collective faces.

He's got the next game. Hope he runs with the opportunity.

That sucks. But it's not a disaster. The margin for error was 3 games. Still have a 2 game margin. Who's next ? They will get that win and roll tide.

It's Lent. He will be back after Easter.

The game is on SN1 up here in The Great White North and on *pirate satellite, orbtong your living room*. MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE SOMEBODY !! SWORDS !!

Sorry to here this news. Best wishes for your surgery and recovery.

That sucks, but I believe these things all happen for good reason. You will take everything you have learned over the years and turn it into something a lot better. Trust me. I've been there.

You know what? All joking aside, they may just do it.

Nevermind the Vezina. I'm a gonna write in 6K for the Hart.

MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE PUNCH FOR DRAFTING RIC INSTEAD OF MIKE !! SWORDS !!

There is no excuse for not running whoever touches your goalie. Everytime. Anyone on the ice has to do it. It's code in the NHL. You touch my goalie and you are decked. Every team in the NHL knows that the Sabres do nothing atoll.

Last name Carpan. First name Dean. Easy. Peasy.

Fantastic win. Dare I say that the Sabres looked like a complete all-round NHL team last night.

It's going to be a very long summer. Sheesh.

Your point has merit, but even if Byram is top paring here he is not really a top pairing guy in the NHL yet. He will be extended with likely a 3 year $18M to $20M contract - $6M to $6.5M per = the Dahlin bridge deal. The only issue with a 3 year deal is I think it takes him directly to UFA. I think he is 24 now and he may have 4 NHL seasons at the end of this one.

Damn !! I always envisioned you as a lovergirl. She must mean the second to last point.

Girgs is going to be the 4C. If he were not he would have been traded for anything at the recent deadline. I agree they need a 3C and better 4th line wingers. And some other stuff too. 4C would not be on my list.

Also, the NHL only has this game on SN - hook up your *pirate satellite, orbiting your living room* receptors. Must be using my IP address to spew out that poop. Game would be on WGR and MSG or maybe ESPN or some such in the US, I would think. Yous are all on your own.

To be clear the Ides are the 15th and the preceding 7 days in several of the months of the Ancient Roman calendar. Also the 13th and 7 preceding days in the other months. Of course the only Ides ever remembered are the Ides of March since the 15th of March holds historical significance, by most accounts. ***** MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! SWORDS !! AVENGE EVERYONE !!

Beware the Ides of March - close enough. Yous guys and gals are all sleepy heads at the switch this AM.

Fading away is best for franchise players who brought cups to their franchise. I love that Perreault played his whole career in Buffalo. On the other hand, if he could have hung on and gone to the Canadien at the trade deadline in 1986 he would have had a cup. Sure, there was no clear indication that the Habs were going to get the cup that year, but Patrick was coming into his own as a rockie by the time the trade deadline had rolled around.

Crosby will retire a Penguin. The other big 3 will probably be traded or not re-signed. EK was a huge gamble and a last ditch effort to get the other 3 another cup. They waited too long to try that Hail Mary.

I think Levi needs another year (+ maybe) as Rochester starter. If I am KA I will be looking to sign a capable (NHL player now) backup for 6K. I would also sign 6K to a 5 @ $4.5M (or so) contract. He is the #1 now and will be for probably 4 years, baring disaster.

Excellent !!
