Pretty sure I'm the only one on here that hasn't ranted yet... It shall be my day, someday.

This is becoming the quintessential HB teapot tempest. In yesterday's pre-TDL interview, Hamilton said ROR has not been the leader HAMILTON thought he would be. He didn't say that it the case, all the time, or whether it has been over this last stretch of games. The interview did not establish that the team feels that way. Hamilton also said Jack has been rather whiney, and that he is being exposed to "the wrong influences" but wouldn't go into who or what they were. Of course everyone here presumes he's partying with Kane.

There is NO WAY O'Reilly can be an overall disappointment to the team. He was phenomenal last year, in every thing he did. Many people believe he's being overused this year, or that his abdominal injury is worse than he's letter on, but I haven't heard that his overall year has been a disappointment. Maybe the fatigue and the injury are combining to require him to throttle back a bit from last year and Hamilton is quacking about that.

Rob Ray was asked about Kane yesterday, and said that other than the lingering civil suits, there has been no reason for the team to be anything but thrilled with Kane's situation this year, that he is well liked by the rest of the roster and nobody has any issues with him at all.

This isn't a presumption, he does. Whether it's remotely a big deal or not is another thing. They are teammates, not exactly ground breaking news.

But, locker room cancer and such and so on.

Right, which means you still need 2 guys up top in the 1-4 spots.

This team needs to start competing for something next year.

Okposo will be 30, and Kane will be a pending UFA next season.

Looking at carlo in boston helps prove your point imo.
He's probably a better prospect than guhle and has had some ups and downs playing with a safe stay a home d man in chara (which we dont have)

Lol i can already see all the wgr guys complaining now when hes not playing 20+ minutes a night next year..

can't be too hard

Murray finds lots of time to hang out at 716

I think that's inevitable

Pro athletes have been partying as long as sport has been around. I really think it's overblown. Except the few cases where for certain guys it guys really out of control.

9 points in his last 13 games. That's a slump?
- stashu

Our PP IMO has hid the production of 23, 90 and 55.

Numbers aside i believe and have seen all 3 can play much better on a consistent basis

Ik this year as been a cluster f for kuikov but there's probably a good chance hell sign a 1 or 2 year deal for a very low cost. Would you consider it?

There's No way he's this bad and if he heals up over summer it could be an alright depth signing to let guhle develop

Thought you would enjoy that

My friend is already on me to install this. He enjoys spending my money haha

you have to be drunk to be in charge of this circus act.

The grass in your neighborhood sucks!!!
- Der Kaiser

The fact grass can even be seen a mere 2 weeks after 2+ feet of snow is a miracle.

You must be white, male and between the age of 26-34 and work in IT.

Just kidding nice ride!

That comment hit entirely too close to the mark haha!

41 going on 42, figuring I'd get my mid life crisis out of the way early.

No bonus points for not having that ridiculous fin/spoiler?

Does it fit car seats???
- stashu

The new STI has plenty of room for car seats and there is a massive amount of space in the trunk.

I fit 3 of those 4 things, does that mean I can get a cool car too??

I fit 3 of those 4, and my car is cooler!

Lots of people I "know" are changing their BRZ over to Flex fuel...
I don't know much about it though.
I'm definitely changing out the exhaust/headers/etc...

If they cannot get anyone else imaginable for defense than maybe a 1 year deal.

Kulikov just isn't the type of D man we need. We need puck movers

Pretty sure I'm the only one on here that hasn't ranted yet... It shall be my day, someday.
- jochfr

I'm with you

Basically if Kane is to be traded it will be in the offseason...

Kulikov has been so bad and Franson is so slow that nobody would give anything of value up.

But had Murray moved either of them for a conditional pick (like Iginlia) most posters on here would want his head and say he can't win a trade.

Whatever they aren't making the playoffs...time to move on.

Franson and Kulikov won't be on the roster next year, if they are then by all means Murray should be fired.

Btw----Sabres win tonight! F rooting for any kind of tank....#OVERROOTING4THETANK

42 going on 43... Bought my car last year at 41 years old as my mid-life crisis car.
I don't work in IT though, I'm just a lowly drafter/designer.

This is what it is with the Sabres and the Bills, we all have gone through this and seen this for years, some more then others. We need to stop overthinking this and just go with it, not a damn thing we can do about it. Sabres and Bills just aren't good enough no matter what they try and do.
