Sabres fans attribute blocked shots to hustle heart and fill in the blank adjectives we love in players but than hate the player who has the most of those qualities

Raleigh, NC (WGR 550) -- Pat Kaleta will be out five games which means his next action is March 17th in Washington. After being worked out by James Patrick Tuesday morning Kaleta said, “It’s not fun at all, I need to be out there for my team and I’m more valuable on the ice than I am off the ice and that’s what I take most pride in, going out and battling with my teammates. When you’re not able to do that, it sucks.”

Kaleta has seen the replay of the hit. He said, “I’ve watched it plenty of times and I’m not going to get into it because, quite frankly I could, but I’m not going to because it’s over with and my focus now is forward and being able to help the guys when I can and when the time comes on the ice, I’ve got to go out there and battle for my teammates, give up my body and be a guy that people can look up at.”

National hockey commentators like Don Cherry, Keith Jones and Nick Kypreos are criticizing Kaleta for his whole career. The winger said, “A lot of people are calling me scumbags, a dirty hockey player, but I play hard, I play on the edge. It doesn’t define me as a person, it defines one play that could be controversial either way so that’s the way it is.”


I asked him of it hurt him that a lot of prominent hockey people are calling him things like that. Kaleta said, “The can call me whatever they want to call me. People know me as a person and I know you guys and people in Buffalo see me as a hockey player, how I’ve grown and what I’m like on and off the ice so you guys know what kind of a person I am, they don’t, they see one play and judge a player and how you are as a person on that one play. To me that’s unfair, but people have their opinions and a lot of them are negative towards me, but I play for my teammates, my city, you guys, my family and my coaches.”

Brad Richards won't play tonight, via @DarrenDreger. He really wants to fake it some more to tick off Sabres fans.

Good. Who is his understudy?

Has anyone actually heard any reliable sources not named hockeyy insiderr that mention Buffalo as a possible trade partner in the market?

Roto world, fourth period, random tweets by credible people?


Still waiting on Eks idea that we are hot on the pursuit of Iginla here soon

Spector mentioned that the AVS might move Stastny so here comes the Garth blogs about that deal

i am sure garth will bust out some boner over ryan and stastny stuff here soon as well..

we will do some stupid 2nd for a on the downslope type of 3rd line player and try to put him on a 2nd line

I saw it twice against the Sabres, once by Vanek, other time by Stafford. I don't mean from behind, I mean in his own end.

sure it wasnt Roy???

vanek and brennan in (and getting 1st PP time), scott and pardy healthy scratches for tonight.

miller in net...

per TBN...

I'm ok with them putting Brennan on the PP...
But what exactly has he done to "earn" that time like Rilston is demanding of Grigorenko?
This is ridiculous!
Our PP sucks, and Grigorenko is super talented offensively!
U wanna keep him on the 3rd line, fine... I guess
But let's see what the kid can do on our PP!!!

Talk about overkill, Christ enough already.

Gaborik, another 7mill player that won't bring them a cup along with Richards.

Just when I think you can get any dumber you go and totally redeem yourself

Karlson last year 60 hits, 65 blocked shots, 84 give aways, 67 take aways
Weber last year 177 hits, 140 blocked shots, 46 give aways, 51 take aways
- adambuffalo

Weber 2 good Achilles tendons, Karlson 1.5. Too bad, he could have been a great one.

Sabres team cap payroll this year is 65 million.

$abres?

or Sabre$?
- jimbro83

Both those teams suck.
