So their two seasons of success with the Bills, should exempt them from criticism for what they have done to the Sabres over the last decade...and counting?

People need to remember this the next time they feel the need to defend the Pegula’s. They have ruined this franchise. 😡

In fairness to the team, you serve an underage player a couple of beverages at a team run event, and he gets into an accident on the way home, someone would be in a lot of hot water.

I’m beating a dead horse here, and I don’t know if Terry or Botts is more to blame, but there is no freakin’ way that they had to give Skinner...term AND a boatload of money AND A full no move clause. Maybe concede one of these three contract items, but all three of them? It is going to hurt the team salary structure for the duration. Stupid, dumb craziness.

The giraffe jokes have been lame since Day 1. I wish there was a filter that substituted “I’m an idiot” for “giraffe”. There...I feel better now.

Reider, Sheehan, Okposo & Eakin have no long term future with the team. Rotate two of them out each game and see what Caggiula and Bjork have to offer with a 20 game tryout.

He might have run an extra long Boston Marathon to get there... Feets don’t fail me now! 😂

Brandon Hagel with the GWG in OT for the Blackhawks. Thanks Botts.

Mike Foligno may be my 2nd favorite Sabre of all-time behind Perreault.

To all you fancy stats people...how do the team numbers look since RK was fired, and also how do the numbers look for the young guys such as Mitts, Asplund, Thompson, Joker, Dahlin and Bryson?

Yes! Don’t even bother interviewing anyone else. Terry, Kim and Kevyn would like you to meet them outside the KBC at noon for a group hug!

I guess so. Not even sure why I brought it up as he is gone, and will be soon forgotten.

Did the media ask KA if there were any discussions on Reider or Sheahan?

The part about "i want to stick it to them"? I don't know how that could be a mischaracterization?

Someone posted a tweet with the quotes in them. It is somewhere upthread.

Not saying it would have been a good idea, but if Iafallo(local boy) had hit FA, I'm sure the Sabres would have gone hard after him. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/31243971/los-angeles-kings-forward-alex-iafallo-agree-4-year-16m-extension

Kevyn has all the help he needs from Kim & Terry. All is good...no need to panic.

I know all teams are in the same position, but having this taxi squad sucks. I'd much rather have guys in Rochester than in no mans land...practicing, but playing in few to no games.

I guess the Blackhawks despite being only 4 points out of a playoff spot, are packing it in. First Janmark, now Soderberg.

I think if anyone goes in the off-season, it's Reinhart and Risto. Just can't believe they can go into another season with the same friggin' core. I think Reinhart goes with a pick or prospect for established top 6 wing help. Risto? Who knows what his value is.

I don't know if he will ever be an NHL regular, but I'll admit when I am wrong. After his first couple of rookie and training camps, I didn't think he would ever be offered a contract. He was that bad.

If I was a GM trying to make a playoff run, I'd take Foligno over Hall every day of the week...even if it cost me more.

FTFY

I would have buried Irwin in Rochester along with KA's other offseason blueline signing(Davidson), claimed both Vatanen AND Mete, and gave them 20 game tryouts. Instead we will get a steady dose of Irwin for the remainder of the season. I'd even consider giving Fitzgerald a shot. Irwin is just a waste of space.

Thanks for the confirmation.
