My mom knew Steve Dykstra and he used to say when he got into a fight he liked to get hit first because that just fired him up more. Just gotta hope that first one doesn't drop you.

Anyone notice Kaleta punch himself in the face towards the end of the fight before he tossed a couple more? I'm hoping that was to piss himself off more and not a mistake.

Typical Buffalo outcome. The Bills lose to a two win team with a rookie QB who wears eyeliner and a defensive coordinator who wears eyeblack on the sidelines. Then the Sabres are 90 seconds from a win and let some dude with the first name of Dougie tie the game up. Can't get much worse than that for a Sunday evening. And I'm sure I'm in the minority, but Grigorenko is not what he was labeled to be. Maybe a little offense would be nice. It's early, but I'm not impressed with him compared to how the other kids have played.

Nick needed to take a few to the face before he was ready to unload.....and unload he did. Stuart got Nicked the ###### out!!!

Who???

Yeah it is. I don't know whether to root for the tank still or start hoping for the playoffs. Unfortunately, the way this team is playing now, hockey purgatory looks like it has a real good chance to linger for another year. I'm so confused!!!!

Will be interesting to see how the "soft" Stewart comes out tonight. I think the chances of him scoring are much less than him trying to break someones jaw. Frankly, I'd love to see a Gordie Howe hat trick out of him. I know, highly unlikely. There's a better chance of Gus or Foligno getting one.

I'd be pretty touchy about things as well if I owned the Sabres and Bills. Hell, they make me incensed watching them play every week and I'm just a peon fan.

Was watching TCU beat up on Iowa St and they were showing more of Matthew McConaughy than the football game. Never seen an alma mater be able to stand right there on the sidelines next to the coaches during the game.

Nah, what Lucic thinks is dirty, or as he worded "gutless" was when Dalton Prout dropped and bloodied him with one punch a few weeks ago, after he two hands Prout in the back of the head. Says he will get his revenge as they play them three more times this year. Hopefully Prout will drop him again....if Lucic has the stones to fight him straight up.

I'm sure I could find eight or nine Hodgsons outside of the Bill Grays ice arena in Rochester. Guy is a complete waste of a lot of money. I would rather have Kassian back in a heartbeat.

Okay, back to the Auburn/Alabama game. Here's hoping number one goes down, and it's looking good so far. I'm starting to wonder if we need a McDavid or Eichel. Of course that would be great, but the Sabres are so young and seem to be coming together. I'm so confused!!!!

Le Club Du Montreal???? Hahahahaha!!! Gonna be quiet tonight.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I can't wait til Myers is gone. He is the biggest waste of a 6'8" body there is.

Yes he did. Would have been an amazing save.

Rayzorism again....there are going to be penalties calls. No, there are no fouls being called. I think he was drinking a little too much in that nice bathroom. Funny thing, is Rob doesn't drink.

Who needs a Milan Lucic, when you have a Chris Stewart. They better not trade this kid, he should be part of the rebuild.

Wow, been watching college football all day, didn't even know the Sabres were on tonight. Why you ask? Because massive head wound Rob Ray said last night "can't wait to play these guys again in two days". I don't know who's more shot, me or Ray. And that's sad because I haven't been punched in the coconut nearly as much as Ray has.

Agreed 100%.

Cause they pay Steve Tasker so much.

Another great Rayzorism after the period. "Defensely they were great". Guy has his own dictionary.

Just listened to Hamilton in between periods. He absolutely ripped Mezzaros and Balls. Said they shouldn't see the ice in the third. He said Mezzaros just stood there after the Kaleta hit, no heart.i don't think I've ever heard Hammy rip two players that bad before. And not one shot on a five minute PP? Looks like last place is still on course.

I'm confused. Listening on the radio and Dunleavy made it sound like no one answered the bell for the Kaleta hit, but Ray said everyone jumped in???

Why do I smile everytime they mention Clitsome? There goes Kaleta for another six months. Someone needs to step up better than that.

Not sure how to feel. Love it when they win, but if they win just enough to end up with the third draft pick, I might just cry.
