I still think it was a dirty hit on the kid. Should have been a suspension.
- adambuffalo

He did hit him with his forearm not his shoulder... i just looked it up..

"The Colorado Avalanche has placed captain Gabriel Landeskog on the IR"

They made a second year rookie at 20 years old the captain??? Wow. I did not know that.

Wasn't long ago when people were screaming to put the C on Myers........

Sure if he's not hurt, like Goose said earlier he needs to get the surgery done now we can buy him out when he's healthy next year.
- SABRES 89

good plan.

Kid has Captain written all over him, going to be a great player. you should ask yourself why AO is wearing the C for the caps. That moron is the furthest thing from a Captain.
- SABRES 89

I totally agree.. it is just surprising... I think Hejduk had served as their Captain since Sakic left... Stastny wore an A I know...

Stastny was their C I believe

Maybe not, I think it was an A

Would anyone here sniff Bieksa or Hamhuis in a trade with Vancouver??

with the shrinking cap and them having like 8 huge contracts on the books next season they need to shed something...
- JVince11

Exactly the type guys we badly need...
I'd take either, or better yet, BOTH
Vancouver doesn't seem like a likely trade partner though,
Not mid-season anyways

I would trade Stafford for a bag of pucks and a year supply of tape.

get that lazy bum outta here. He won't score 5 goals this year.

I would have more optimism as a leaf, hab, islander or oiler fan right now then as a sabre fan

Eberle
Hall
RNH
Yakupov
Hemsky (playing awesome this year)
Gagner
Jeff Schultz

Yes, I would be optmistic. If Tambellini could do anything aside from draft #1 picks, they would be legit.

- sbroads24

Stastny and Hedjuk both wore "A's" last year.

Rolston has been the coach all year. They play the same system as the Sabres do. I think it has more to do with the amount of talent that left some of the other teams more than it has to do with any changes that could have been made there.

Porter, Rankin and Flynn are doing well down there.

I know it has been said they don't think Porter has a very high hockey IQ but he would be an ideal 4th liner.

Rochester is 6-1 since the lockout ended and tj, foligno and coho went back to the sabres

Along with all of the other NHL talent from the other squads that also got called up...

stay the coarse.

I like the team they have constructed down there. It's entertaining to watch.

Anyone else here think Weber has been this teams best defenseman since he got into the lineup?

I really want to bring up the young kids at this point...

I think that Porter could be our 3C if we move Ennis back to winger... which I think we need to do...

Flynn should be our 3RW without Leino... we need that offensive talent on that line wiht Ott...

I want McNabb up too... Sit or trade Leopold and Regehr I don't care..

is that saying much?

I know it has been said they don't think Porter has a very high hockey IQ but he would be an ideal 4th liner.
- dadeadhead

He has 39 points in 42 games. I don't think he's really a 4th liner. Maybe a 3rd. At highest, a 2nd as a fill in.

- dadeadhead

It was said earlier he wouldn't be suited for the 4th line here. I disagree I think he would be such an upgrade watching a few of the Amerks games over Ellis. When Kaleta comes back we could have an actual 4th line of players who can be on the ice for 10 min.

Ehrhoff
Weber

That is my order of consistency up to this point...

stay the coarse.

It has definitely been 'coarse' for sure. I'm chafed

Maybe?

Or

Ott - Porter - Foligno...

Give it 10 games, he does this every year, good in spot duty and then falls back into the turnover machine I remember
