Ott, Pommer, Kaleta are the top 3...we can get a fourth out of Staff, Hodgson, Ellis...ect

Someone has to take the faceoffs...that is why a Jay McClement type or D. Moore or Cullen even makes sense.....they tried Vanek on the PK and he did not last too long.

Any chance that Hecht comes back on a very low contract? to help with the PK?

Every team needs two sets of Penalty killers who are ours?
Pominville and Ott
Kaleta and Leino?
not a center among them

- RicoMartin

I would not be worried if we had a center on the ice or not for pk, it's all about chemistry and our wingers are good enough on the dot for those situations

Idk I just was wondering why he would want to come back after we let him go. We brought in a player from the devils a while back ( can't remember his name) and after the season he went back to the devils. He stated that he didn't know his role on the team and that's why he left (I think it was zubrius).

Is there anything you've heard personally though that suggests it is us?

one more weekend of 3rd shift and then I get a real social life again

I am going to miss the movies though

- homiedclown



3rd shift is nice if you have no life . Able to do thing during the day that most people unless your retired get to do. But if ya had a social life before the change . you will lose it real quik.

Possession off the draw is key....Ott does well with that, so he and Kaleta might be the first team. Leino and Pominville might be the second team.

Don Cherry has said many times teams who need PK help at center should look at Michael Zigomannus (SP)....a good faceoff man, PK specialist that can help eat those minutes so that your top guys (like Pominville and Leino) don't waste time on the PK......just saying, can't have enough centers....just like I said the Blue Jays could not have enough pitchers.....now they have like 6 on the DL list.

Mikko Makela there is the name from years back! Pegula excites everyone in this city and brings hope to the fans.

Inkwell 2006.... I like it.

Think about those days 2006/2007, Drury/Briere excitement


Maybe we are coming full circle again boys

I'm always optimistic!! Which may be a fault. But with the youth we have, I see the light! I see it. Irish do you remember the Great Wing debate? I'm still sticking with the 911 Tavern. How about you??... Hey what ever happened to Sabretooth or Toof... Full circle it is!!

I think Zigs will be there when he hits season 2 for the sabres

dont get me started on the (frank)in jays

between the closers cluster(frank) at the start of the year, and the lack of motivation to get an arm or 2 once they lost 2 starters

pissed at their lack of actions
