It's actually a trick test as everyone knows you can never find Josh on game film.

Who is this Vanak you speak of? Do you mean Vanek? You profess to be a Sabres fan?

it amazes me when people trash other teams when they know nothing about said team...im SHOCKED when people come here to troll and dont know whats going on THEIR team

We'll how much better do you guys expect to be next year ?? With Tavares and Vanek you guys are bottom 5 in the league. It is a valid point that the isles could still give the sabres their top 5 pick this year. Imagine if you guys are just as bad next year and miss out on a McDavid or anyone else over a mediocre top 5 pick in this years draft

I honestly think we'll be a lot better this next, because face it we are bottom 3 this year without tavares, probably going to push for #2

and next year we don't want to be a laughing stock so garth is going to throw $ at FA

After next years draft the rebuild is complete take one of Bennett/ Ekblad/Reinhart this year hope to suck as much next year and take McDavid. Isles pick could give us Eichel as well since you guys are so keen on keeping this years pick and add it to the stable of youngsters we already have. Just can't make the same mistake as Edmonton and surround them with talent

#Isles GM Garth Snow spitting mad over Tavares' Olympic injury: "Are the IIHF or IOC going to reimburse our season ticket holders now?"

More Snow: "It's a joke. They want all the benefits from NHL players in Olympics and don't want to pay when our best player gets hurt."

Snow: "It wouldn't matter if we were 10 points up on a playoff spot or 10 points out. We lost our best player and he wasn't playing for us."

Was just about to write that...they don't seem to be worried about season ticket holders when they're charging full-price for tickets everyone else buys for $12.

Isles sign Regin and PMB and bring back Nabby. Cappy is still coaching and now we must fight for the season ticket holders.
