This is going to bring out the trash talking.

Yep..Kaleta is trash...

I cannot believe Kaleta did anything wrong. It's a witch hunt. Good as gold that Patrick.

As is Colton Orr

Rats like Kaleta shouldn't be able to hide behind a visor.

- SABRES 89

Except Colton Orr isn't on a team with 0 wins. Zero!

Heck, he might even get 1st line duties in Buffalo.

I think goons should just keep pummeling him game after game. Take the misconduct and suspension. Just start wailing on him. (not like Buff will do much on the ensuing PP's)

No they won't. Pretty obvious them and Florida are far and away the worst teams in the NHL. And here I was thinking it might be Calgary.

The Leafs and Sabres first meeting should be real nice. Build up a solid 4 or 6 goal lead and have some fun. I'm sure Kaleta will be right in the middle of it.

It appears from the video as though Kaleta made high contact with Johnson. Was Kaleta's principle point of contact Johnson's head? Shoulder? Chest? Thats for Brendan Shanahan and the Department of Player Saftey to determine.

Being as his head snapped to the side, I'd say it was the head.
But can't be, Kaleta's the real victim here somehow I'm sure.

It was a shoulder hit.

And Phil shouldn't be allowed a stick since he thinks he's a lumberjack.... Great comment sparky......

It was a shoulder hit.
- sippyd

Yes. Most shoulder-to-shoulder hits cause the head to snap in the opposite direction of impact.

It's so funny how Toronto finally has somewhat of a team and they talk garbage. We get it. Sabres are bad and Toronto is on their upswing. Would I trade spots with you now? No because honestly Toronto may or may not make playoffs but if they do they will not get past the top teams. Boston, Detroit, Pittsburg, Chicago, Colorado, etc. Toronto is good, not great. Enjoy what the Sabres have been doing for years, just making playoffs and not getting top 5 picks while lingering in that position for years.

You mean the whopping 3 times Toronto's had a top-5 pick in the last 9 years? I'm not fan of Toronto, but they're not quite Edmonton or Pittsburgh in that regard.

Because that immediately launched the Oilers into the playoffs.
