I saw it on Facebook, and I guess it's on Garth's blog as well.

Mallet looked awful in the couple games. If we get a chance to get Eli Manning you take it

SPORTSNET (VIA KUKLA’S KORNER): Damien Cox speculates the Boston Bruins search for a “heavy forward” links them to Buffalo Sabres right wing Chris Stewart. Elliotte Friedman reports the Edmonton Oilers inquired about Columbus Blue Jackets center Ryan Johansen but were told he’s not available.

I was just reading Spector's site this morning. Boston might be a nice fit for him but I doubt we get much back for him, possibly a pick.

Spector is also reporting that Hawks F Jeremy Morin is unhappy over his lack of playing time and has asked to be dealt if there's not a spot on the roster. Interest?

On the video: I thought it was light-hearted. I could see why terry had to say something because hes somewhat of a pr figure but i didnt find it offensive whatsoever.

Easy bud. Apologies have been made. Oh, and we aren't forecasted to be hit with a hurricane for a long while.

Mother nature is a funny thing . Do you think we were expecting to get hammered like that? My point is folks from Buffalo would never laugh at a tragedy and lives lost . Mocking any other city is just in bad taste . I did many shows at the Old Miami arena when there was a crows nest with guys with semi automatic rifles in it behind the arena . The neighborhood was a war zone. My band and crew were told in no uncertain terms not to leave the backstage compound .I feared for my federal marshals that were doing bootleg security when we were at that fine venue . And the rats practically owned the building !

How about Stewart and a second for Malcolm Subban ?

To be honest, I really wasn't offended by it. It was eye-roll worthy, but nothing more than that. The people in this city, including myself, often just need to grow thicker skin and move on.
- buffalofan19



It was a classless attempt by their PR dept to poke fun at our city about a storm where 13 people lost their lives. Pegula was pretty upset about it and for good reason. Teams should stay out of the business of running pre game videos poking the bear of the cities of opposing teams. Bad taste.

Like I said, it was cheesy, and I rolled my eyes. There was nothing to get outraged about whatsoever. It's just another indicator of the inferiority complex we have.

He'd likely be the centre piece to a big deal for someone like eberle. Far too much value there to be dealt for an okay player like stewart and a 2nd.

Sorry, nothing to do with having an inferiority complex, just in poor taste and Pegula found nothing funny about it.

I'm sorry. I just don't see the big deal...at all. They made another snow joke, which is nothing new.

If Pegula wants to get angry about it, that's his prerogative. That still doesn't change my opinion that there was really nothing to get mad about.

Went to 716 bar last night and i have to say i was pretty impressed by the pure size of the place. The crowd was on the lighter side but that's because there is 3 separate bars to dissipate the mob. Id love to watch a sabres or bills game there but i can only imagine how packed it gets.
The screen makes it feel like your actually on the field. Prices: normal chip strip pricing. I stuck with rusty chain but the drink menu is very well set up. I know it was hyped up ridiculously but it would definitely be a place i would stop at in the future.

Who says I'm mad? I found it a gutless and classless attempt to poke fun at us when 13 people died. Teams shouldn't post pre game videos on their scoreboards like that.

Morin is interesting

I read he has improved his skating, not afraid to get dirty

on the cheap, I'd kick the tires

if making a trade with the bruins, how about stewart plus for cap money coming back and spooner?
say stewart, flynn, ruhwedel and the islanders second for eriksson and spooner

gives the bruins a little cap room for 2015, a few bodies they can play on the bottom of their roster

we get an upside player and a rental to trade in 2015

if the goal is to tank this season

And if we're talking about supposedly "poking fun at lives lost", which it really wasn't doing at all, do you know how many times Floridians have been the butt of "Florida is full of people ready to die" jokes, throughout the years?

I guess what I'm saying is: I couldn't care less what other teams do with their pre-game videos. Unless it's blatantly and intentionally offensive (i.e. racist, gruesome, etc.), there's nothing to get offended about in my mind.
