Michael Pachla: wo plus two equals an opportunity with the Sabres for Patrick Kaleta

Yet another fine blog, sir.

Solid, as you might say

I whole-heartedly agree that Patty deserves another shot here.

thank you...much appreciated

I think he has been given his shot. I don't like him, and don't care if he ever comes back to the NHL.

kaleta for ror and landeskog

Michael Pachla: wo plus two equals an opportunity with the Sabres for Patrick Kaleta

Nice job . Looking forward to seeing a improved Kaleta .

Cant wait to see PK36 back in blue and gold!!!!!!!

I love controversial players. Say what you like but Pk is good at PK.

I'll 2nd this sentiment. Granted, I'd rather have Kaleta than Scott on any day, but that type of player seems useless in today's NHL. Enforcers need to have some offensive ability.

Brace yourselves.... Here come the "He turtles more than he fights" or "He never fights" posts...

Wait, I just did that.

I would like to see them take a shot at Winnik. A shutdown line with Winnik and Kaleta could do some damage to the opposing teams.

His guitar work on Shine on isn't up to snuff IMO.


Not bad otherwise.

Gilmour is a tough act to follow . but its better than others that have tried.

It is but if you're in a Floyd cover band and you want me to pay 47 bucks to see you, you had better be almost dead on. That is a slower song to begin with and they were playing it a quarter step to slow IMO because of his guitar playing.

I'm very critical of people when covering Floyd is all.

This is the best I've heard.

Did you miss the part that pointed out he's had a 10 goal season. And that he has 7 points in 12 playoff games?

EDIT: Or were you trying to point out that Scott has no offense? In re-reading what you posted, it's hard to tell who you're referring to at that point.

Kaleta is a good fourth liner, the league hates him and Shannahan hated the Sabres... Hopefully he won't have a target on his back cause a few of his suspensions have been iffy/players embellishing a little in my opinion. There are plenty of scumbag players that get left alone by the league for far worse shots.

Most play on Boston !

Nolan+Kaleta = Barnaby part 2
Say what you want about punching garage doors, if it wasn't for Nolan, Barnaby never would have had a career in the NHL.

He does have "some" offensive ability
10goals in 55games
Although that was back in 09-10, he was playing with a bit better talent than Scott & Ellis
Not that I'd expect that again
But a 4th liner that scores 5+, plays the PK well, hits and disrupts the other team...
That sounds like the perfect 4th liner to me
If he quits the dumb penalties, he has a place on this team
This year is pretty much a wash anyways
I don't see how giving him another shot will hurt
I think we should also use this year to give guys like Conacher, Adam & Ruhwedel their shot to either prove they are part of the future here, or we ship them off for whatever we can get
Same with guys like Weber & McBain, and obviously Stafford & Stewart
I think this year even determines whether or not Ennis & Hodgson will be around long term

It makes sense that Murray would use this season to evaluate a number of players

Yeah could be the homer in me talking but him leading with the crown of his head in a corner scrum is not as big of a deal as lucic blatantly spearing a guy in the nuts away from the ice or Shea webber slamming a guys head in the glass.

Nice blog boos. Looking forward to seeing a new and improved Kaleta. Hope his injury doesn't take away from one of his positives, his speed.

If Pat Kaleta wasn't a Buffalo native, he also would no longer have a career in the NHL.

Somebody will give him another chance...even if its a 2-way contract
