NHL=No Hitting League
- Mainert

So true.

Kaleta is a dime a dozen player if he can't hit....his time maybe short.

you gotta be kidding!!
this guys another Steve Webb

This league has gone to sh*t! Everyone is way to sensitive and every hard hit is deemed a bad hit and the arm goes up.

Putting the cheap stuff aside, the league seems like it is out to eliminate all rough stuff. I hate how they nuetered hard hitting players.

Kaleta is garbage.... Tropp or Kass should be in his spot... Both have more offensive skill..

could be said about most of the Sabres and their AHL replacements

but it wont be. This is Buffalo where mediocrity is rewarded with 7 year contracts.


Lindy Ruff will be here til 2018.

An inaccurate fact... check it out and re-post..........

Yup... I think our two future stars Joel Armia and Kevin Sundher would have better production that the guys we have now....

Waaaa Waaaa Waaaa, most crying and excused from the Sabres. What a nosedive from respectability to just plain embarrassment.



I'm embarrassed to be a Sabres fan.

Just wait till we see the practice stream. Bet we see they have a knitting class going on.
THEN we can all just jump on a different teams bandwagon.

ill keep 36
he is a necessary piece of the puzzle

Like him or not
there should be 1 or 2 on every team

Like it matters. He will be behind the Bench tomorrow, and he doesn't deserve that.

It wasn't a charging penalty in the game on Tuesday but you could easily call it elbowing, so still a penalty either way. Ruff is just spouting off cause his team is playing like garbage and he's got nothing else to whine about. Watch the replay and see for yourself

Team needs players.. With the right players any coach can win....

Clearly the NHL is becoming a league of wimps............

Who gives a sh!t about Kaleta ? He's either injured or in the penalty box anyway.


Garth - Camy is a winger, not a playmaking Center. But then again facts are optional on here..

So the Coach position is just a figure head?

Have to agree here. Ruff's whining is really getting old. Miller's whining is getting old.
The fans deserve better than that.

chris neil is a significantly more honest player than kaleta
- Fountain-San

100%...There's no comparison between the two. Nobody is afraid of Kaleta.

but it wont be. This is Buffalo where mediocrity is rewarded with 7 year contracts.


Lindy Ruff will be here til 2018.
- Buffalo--Sabres

I'm not a season ticket holder but if I was I would be hard pressed to re-new knowing Ruff will be here for another 2-7 years. His brand of hockey has become pretty stale in Buffalo and they need a fresh system. They have too many nice prospects and young guys to keep this style in place.

agree, how bout we try scoring goals first, then cry about this crap.

Nobody is afraid of Chris Neil either.

- Buffalo--Sabres

All coaches do the same thing in practice... walk behind the bench during games and have basically the same philosophy, that is why the NHL is so boring now. A perfect example would be Lindy's first year here when he inherited Ted Nolan's team and did very well with them. Lindy had no experience as head coach yet did very well, because the Sabres had good players on the team. Not because of Lindy. A coaches influence is greatly over rated... just like the players....

Players are not afraid to play cheap, players are afraid of the instigator.

I'll sum it up for you.

The instigator is killing hockey.

Have to agree here. Ruff's whining is really getting old. Miller's whining is getting old.
The fans deserve better than that.

Your should hear the garbage coming out of this organization. The team President Ted black today "We didn't promise anyone the Stanley Cup in 2012".

Even though the owner promised us "Multiple Stanley Cups" and a Stanley cup within 3 years. And the inscribed it on the walls of the building that "The reason for the Sabres existence is to win a Stanley Cup" AND play it over the loudspeakers every home game(or at least the first 20 or so, I stopped going to games).

Clearly the NHL is becoming a league of wimps............

Bone crushing hits can be delivered cleanly without penalty......
Ask Mike Sauer or De Costa or Kaleta for that matter......Kulemin destroyed him nice and clean
