I hope they're thinking that way and I hope they want some buffalo players...go to my blog for a list of ufa's from which they'll be able to choose
- Michael Pachla

I dont think Fletcher has any choice but to be thinking that way, especially with the amount of money ownerguy has shelled out the last few years. Combine that with heightened expectations and I have to believe Fletcher is working on something.

I hope he does exactly what he said, be bullies, pound the football, nightmare to match up against, etc...

new-age footballers probably grabbed their fantasy stat sheets and ran, but being old-school, I like their approach

2-1 buffalo...nic deslauriers separates vanek from the puck and sends matt "friggen" ellis in on a breakaway...ellis whiffs and pat kaleta cleans up
- Michael Pachla


Actually ...

Out of the corner of his eye, Vanek catches a glimpse of Deslauriers barreling at him, Vanek winces and loses control of the puck.

Deslauriers sends Ellis in alone on the goalie with a two stride lead on the nearest defender, but

Ellis whiffs on the shot after the defender makes up the gap before the top of the circles and neatly stick checks Ellis.

Kaleta charges hard toward the loose puck, but catches an edge and torpedoes himself into the boards (he is later assisted off the ice into the locker-room, only to return at the beginning of the third period with a neckbrace and full-face motorcycle helmet);

Mezsaros chops the puck into Backstrom's pads, and the rebound juices out five feet from the top of the crease, when

Mike Weber finally arrives in the offensive zone and SNIPES a beauty over a sprawling Backstrom top shelf waterbottle.

Sidney Crosby is given both the primary and secondary assists.

Sabres lose 2-1 in regulation.

Canes win.
Edmonton loses 1-0 in OT, collecting a total of 13 shots.

Same. I was pretty fired up listening to what I could before walking into work this morning. Rex is a no nonsense guy and wants his players to start preparing now. I have a feeling that the team will have a different approach right out the gate.

you highlighted the sheer amount of players available... and the fact that their will be a few more. gonna be a buyers market this year... but murray did a good job last year in a sellers year. stafford / stewart etc. will probably bring back... if a couple of teams bid over them, a 2nd round pick... more likely a third. you guys are gonna be picking... like... every 8 or 9 picks fopr the first three rounds... that should be kinda fun and neat

He also said that we are still in the evaluation process, but EJ has the tools that he likes or something along those lines.
