It was from NHL Tonight. They had brief clips of several Sabres including Vanek. I assume it was after they arrived in Toronto.

Vanek commenting on Lindy..."I had my ups and downs with him".

Me too. :(

I think that's it.

Considering I haven't been posting much, I'd love to know about how I am grilling all of your posts "lately"? C'mon Jack, you're better than this.

"The hockey world knows how I and the entire Buffalo Sabres organization feel about Lindy Ruff not only as a coach but also as a person. His long tenure with the Sabres has ended. His qualities have made this decision very difficult. I personally want Lindy to know that he can consider me a friend always."

While I am happy that they are finally changing coaches, it was a very classy act on Ruff's part to drive to the airport to say his goodbyes to the players before they left for Toronto.

While McCormick is not anything more than a 4th liner, he is miles ahead of where Scott is or ever will be as a hockey player. Did Cody kick you dog or steal your girlfriend? :rolleyes:

So you'd rather have a 4th line with Scott instead of McCormick? :doh:

No to Nolan and no f***ing way to Housley. I'm telling you(IMO) it will be Patrick for the rest of the season, and then open season on the entire hockey department once it is painfully over.

I'd be shocked if it was Rolston, even on an interim basis.

All the Lindy news, and I didn't even see this. I'd waive Scott every time instead of McCormick. The days of the enforcer are over. If you need double runners, you shouldn't be in the NHL. Unless there is something going on behind the scenes, I don't get it. A team with few guys willing to finish a check, and they just send one of them packing.

Do you know what "interim" means? Trying to find a permanent coach in mid-season may really hamper their ability to find the right choice. Patrick for the rest of the season? Who cares.

1 - I'm shocked that "Coach for Life" is gone 2 - I'm glad this is the last time I will have to use the phrase "Coach for Life" 3 - I expect Patrick to be named interim coach 4 - I would not be surprised if the Sabres show Regier the door if they miss the playoffs. I have a feeling he was given the ultimatum of fire Ruff, or you will both be fired, and he chose his job over his BFF. That's all I got.

It would be even better if it was Bucky or Sully. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You're young. Give it time. :rolleyes:

Sylvester might want to consider calling in sick tomorrow. Either that or take no calls.

Girgensons out again? Not more concussion symtoms I hope.

I'll be honest...I haven't seen Leggio play at all. That being said... 1- His number over the last month seem to be a lot better than your borderline AHL goalie 2 - Can he really be that much worst than Enroth at this point The reason I bring this up is that Lindy is once again heading down the road of running Miller into the ground.

It's bad to get your ideas for fixing the Sabres woes from watching the movie "Goon". :doh:

If the word that DR wants to get out ot the other GM's is "Stafford has been sucking to the point of finally moving him to the 4th line after 16 games", than yes, this is a precursor to a trade.

I'm not quite sure why they don't call Leggio up for a start and to backup Miller for a week or so, and let Enroth get a few games in with the Amerks on a conditioning assignment. Would Leggio have to clear waivers? Seems like a no brainer to me.

If he wants to be reputable, blog under your real name, and when you make appearances on 1270 with Rich Gaensler, don't do it using a bad Don Cherry impersonation. Pretty embarrassing.

Straight up? If so, no way does Colorado do this.

So is it just a lottery for the 1st pick, or will they continue to select "balls" until all non-playoff teams are slotted?
