Maybe he gets a look final 9 games of the season?
- Sabresfan-365

Yeah, maybe.

Did I just watch them beat the Rangers? Maybe even kinda bully them on the ice? I really was napping through a 4-1 victory??

if he was projected to be a two way centre id keep him there one more year. But I think they just need him to get "pro" ready as they say? Im not sure he'll need much more time.
- Sabresfan-365

Maybe if they are eliminated from the playoffs they will give him a look on the Sabres.

I still think they should give him a game or two just to give him a taste. It doesn't hurt anything unless he literally gets hurt.

I know I'm probably one of the over dramatic types lol but I don't want to ruin his confidence if he's totally terrible up here and then he brings it down to Rochester and has a sh!T second half

I'm hoping he goes back to Rochester all energized from his world juniors and goes on a Run

I'm in the "meh" camp.

SOAKED BANDITS WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY. OHthats right you know russ brandon has no input...hmmmm
Russ Brandon still looms over Bills football operations

Monday’s epic (not in a good way) press conference involving Bills G.M. Doug Whaley created the impression that Whaley doesn’t have nearly as much power as a General Manager usually possesses. So the question then becomes obvious: If Whaley doesn’t, who does?

Unless he was lying about his lack of input or knowledge regarding the firing of former coach Rex Ryan, Whaley came off as a glorified scout at best, responsible for drafting and otherwise acquiring players but having no broader oversight regarding the football operations. Which suggests that the broader oversight as to the football operations is coming from a man who has not only survived but thrived as a football executive with sufficient distance from football matters to avoid accountability.

Bills president Russ Brandon, a central figure in the latter years of the Ralph Wilson regime, supposedly has been doing less and less with the Bills for a while. And yet Brandon still has a ladle in the stew at nearly every turn.

Brandon was, as Whaley admitted on Monday, a member of the four-person committee that settled on Ryan as the head coach in 2015. Last year, Brandon, ownership, and Ryan (but not Whaley) met with Tom Coughlin about a possible role with the team.

The effort to create the impression that Whaley isn’t involved with football operations nevertheless continues. Whaley said Monday that Brandon won’t be involved in the coaching search, given his “expanded responsibilities” at Pegula Sports Entertainment.

So what does Brandon do? Whaley, for some reason, doesn’t know.

“[H]e’s in charge of all — yeah, I don’t even know what he’s in charge of,” Whaley said. “I just know he’s in charge of a lot.”

Whaley didn’t know Ryan was going to be fired; chances are Brandon did. Chances are Brandon provided the input that would have come from Whaley, if Whaley were the one running the show.

Moving forward, look for the Brandon to continue to try to create the impression that he’s not responsible for the football operations while secretly pulling the strings on it. It’s a great gig to have, unless and until ownership realizes what’s going on and decides to apply the same degree of accountability to Brandon that is applied to people who are calling the shots when it comes to running a football team.L

hmmm, a certain someone isn't here with all their doom and gloom tonight. I wonder why?

you jinxed it



This is on you

This is the first game in a while where 23 was noticeable all game
- sbroads24

No.

Keep trying.

Reinhart has been our most consistent forward all season. Quietly on pace for 50+ points and if he gets a couple of 2-goal games, he'll easily hit 20.

You're out of your mind, Anchorman 2 was hilarious. Not equal, but if Anchorman didn't exist, it could easily have just been Anchorman 2 and left just as much of a cultural impact.

Trying to compare it to the original doesn't do it justice. The original just came together and was one of the funniest movies ever, even their cut content was enough for another movie which was still pretty damn funny on it's own. I don't know how many of you have seen it, but you should. And the ESPN audition is amazing too.

You know the world's ending soon when all the Ohio teams start dominating lol

Dripping bandits no comment on russ brandon..oh you know more sitting behind your xbox. The sabres won a damn hockey game..there is 82 in a season...big deal

I just can't believe how good the Columbus Blue Jackets I was thinking it was a fluke but no they are good

Boy, we sure didn't seem to miss Gorgeous Gorges and Kulio this game.

True on comparing it to the original. I thought they were both hilarious and would watch either one of them again.

But I did not see the cut content. The ESPN audition, yes.

I pick up Gagner and he has zero points what the fudge
