Sabres Fan in NS

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 !!

If he had any options at all he would have signed a contract long ago. Even the lowly Sabres and (insert every other NHL and AHL team here) were not interested. He will either retire or go play in Europe.

I love Santora's. Every time we visited family in Buffalo we had their pizza and wings at least once.

I think Joker will be traded in a package for a top 6 forward. So ... Dahlin - Byram Power - Samusie / Johnson Clifton - Johnson / Samusie Bryson (who will play about 40 - 45 games with Clifton and Johnson sitting 40(ish) between them) I do not ever want to see 7D dressed unless due to warmup injury or sickness or some such.

I think he would bring a veteran presence and he could have a good influence. KA could have signed him last summer and didn't. No team did. I think Phil will likely retire at this point.

I still to receive an answer to my question.

Give KA a call and get that little one signed.

He is not eligible for the playoff now, but can sign and play out the regular season with any team. Not sure why it would be a good idea, but also not sure why it would be a bad idea. I think the Sabres should and likely will call up players from Rochester at some point to give them a taste so long as it does not hinder a playoff push in Rochester.

Today is 6K's 25th birthday ... nice presento was this win. KA sign this man long-term or you are a big dummy.

Yeah, I see that, but it should not be. It will be interesting to see what happens in the summer. Baring no changes I can see Byram with Dahlin. Power with Muel and Cliffsie with Joker may not be terrible. Or maybe Clifton with Power. What's his name is looking like a good #7 too.

Your OP was not exactly wrong either. The new kid is really trying to impress his new playmates. He has had 2 very good games and it has taken him no time to clue into the 'system' here, which only shows to go us all that there really is no 'system' here atoll - just go play, boys.

How about our #1 ? 6K played like his pants were on fire .. again.

Only Fans ... The lineup starts right here ..

Wholly crap, yous guys. KA likes Girgs in his own right. Terry likes him, I like him, everybody likes him. I scream, you scream we all scream for ice cream (and Girgs). He is what he was when we drafted him. He has been a very good soldier and leader of this team through the bleakest period in team history, which has nothing to do with him. He did nothing to make it so and he has given his all to this team.

I think it is a good trade for both teams, but I think it's a bit early to put this kid as a top pairing Dman. The future looks good for his development, but he isn't top pairing yet as far as I can tell, even on the Sabres. Same is true for Casey - he is developing nicely, but he is not a 2C yet, even on the Sabres. Therefore, a reasonable *hockey trade* for both teams.

You know what he means and deep down you agree with KA on that.

Make it about the post, never the poster. This is not a good look.

The Sabres won 20% of the faceoffs ?? ***** me !!

Not a fan of the SO. Not atoll.

IS GOING TO THE PROM ??

BRYSON !! REALLY ??
