Much preferred, but as Goose said, I don't see Carolina taking Stafford. It's counterproductive to a "rebuild" for them

nope, it starts with gringo, pysyk and maybe enroth

it seems like we are in a holding pattern, and rochester is a train wreck


I expected more at least on the ahl level

No doubt on the baffling Rochester struggles. Goalie issues or not, the lack of goal production is disheartening right now.

Next 3 years for the Sabres, IMO:

15/16: 22-27 seed
16/17: 7-10 Eastern Conference
17/18: 5-9 Eastern Conference

the canes moving skinner makes as much sense as the sabres moving ennis and girgens

Might be time to give Cassidy the boot. They look like the Flyers of the beginning of 13-14. Too much talent and no one scores.

How about we trade all that for their #1 in 2015 instead.

Hell, sign Staff and Stewie for $2m each...then include them both with St Louis 2015 #1 and NYI 2015#1 and Ruhweedle (sp?).

that's a slow rebuild


when does the eastern times start to cry foul over 16 teams in the east and 14 teams in the west?

move him and stewart, bring up adam and ellis

that's embracing the tank

"TSN - Flames will turn to Ramo, Giordano against Sabres to end losing streak"

Backup goalie, time to make him look like a Vezina candidate!

I know I know...all garbage, I just want all those guys out of here at the end of this year .

Good . it's about time . Hope the reason was to start packing.

They won't, only fans will.

I don't get the major hate of it myself. Both conferences get the top 3 from each Division in to the playoffs and then the next best 2 teams. The east has "10 teams" fighting for those 2 spots instead of 8 (yet only 3-4 will really be in on it). Meh

stewart disagrees

going to the came tonight...from Rochester.
How are the road conditions there in big Buff?

Do you think 716 will be jammed, or can I get in there if arriving around 6:00?

Is he back in? I think another night off might just send him over the edge and we could watch a live version of Slap Shot upon his return

Better get here before 6 to be remotely comfortable in 716.

He's been really good for them from what I've seen. It's actually a pretty even split there. Kind of like Enroth and Neuvirth here.

I have noticed over the last few years, the goalies save% has been getting better

I wonder if the nhl reverting back to not calling everything plays a part in it, less pp's per game

Not sure what the official statistic is, but man...for a bit there right before the Sabres started getting hot it seemed like they were getting burried like 6-1 in PP chances per game, and that 1 always seemingly came in the last half of the 3rd.
