we actually claimed him over Ovechkin, ballsy but may just work out

yea I know right... I heard that Steen and Getzlaf were on there too.... thank god we got Konopka...

Well, it appears that Rochester is short on players currently, so this was probably more about not taking from them at the moment than it was a move for the big club overall.

Even still, this team just flabbergasts me more every day.
- HonkFortheGoose

then maybe you should just post less until you are happy.

The line of Foligno-Konopka-Ott should be great. I can hear RJ now

" Zenon wins the faceoff, throws it to Foligno, Foligno dances with the puck for a little while, passes it to Ott.... He's ALL ALONE...... and it ends up in the crowd...."

but just think that was 12 secs the other team didn't have to score.. our corsi number might go up

I am sick of the "DO SOMETHING SABRES"....... "oh wait not that.. OMG I could do so much better... OMG what is wrong with you" kind of people...

I haven't been one of the ones generally complaining they need to do something. Nothing within the season is really going to make a difference, so it is what it is.

I just want them to be sort of competitive every night. They were 1:30 (or so) away from not having scored a goal in two games. I don't think Konopka is going to help in that regard.

Antoine Roussel should start packing his winter clothes now.

Please... tell me what you would have done differently.... stafford just got hurt.. you have a game tomorrow... you are down a forward.. and need scoring...

what do you do today before practice... enlighten me.

then maybe you should just post less until you are happy.

How about you get off your high horse and chill? You're being nasty for no reason. You don't want to start this because you know how it'll end.

I don't mind him, but he will not help us score. I tell you what though, They better not waive Brian Flynn to keep Konopka around when everyone is healthy

Lateral moves will not help this team.

At this point, I'd roll the 11 forwards I have and play McNabb.

Why would we get rid of X why would we get rid of y

WHy why why

I can see the 6 goal performance right now.

- sbroads24

I wouldn't mind him if we didn't already have a team full of 4th liners. He's got certain attributes. I'll give him that. I just feel like once people return to health, they're gonna have to waive someone that we should probably keep over him

sorry just had to

McNabb is probably more capable of scoring than Konopka.

The organization is a mess top to bottom with their rosters. Injuries galore kids not ready, a player home on a personal matter. They needed a body and got one for nothing. There really is nothing wrong with the move. They can actually field a full team. It was a no brainer. When they get healthy and more moves are needed then we can female dog about it but to complain about this is pointless

Lateral moves will not help this team.
- BuffaloHardHat

i think he is only signed for this season.. so it really is just a roster filling move. nothing to really get all fired up abou

Can't wait to watch that Briere, Gionta, Konopka line.

that no other center posses

McNabb is probably more capable of scoring than Konopka.
- HonkFortheGoose

And maybe a better skater, which isn't saying much. However as long as no one is waived I won't care.....

Can't wait to watch that Briere, Gionta, Konopka line.
