I'm fine with the top line, but unless there are injuries, leave it alone! Give it some time to gel, Ruff changes lines way too soon at times. As far as Gerbe, it will be a tough sell to keep him in Portland. Kennedy is close as well, but could probably split time, being the first injury call up guy. I like Paetch at forward, he does play hard and if not Paetch, then keep Ellis. I would really like them to pick up an additional forward or 2 with size in the off season. As far as D, where do they start? I like Butler and Rivet. Tallinder has to go, he was a liability all season. Spacco should be gone as well. Lydman is toss up, but right now he's the third best defenseman on the roster. Sekera was brutal, but is young and I think he has a lot of talent. They definitely need to pick up some help on D though. I am not sure about Funk or Card, I believe they battled injuries all year. The key is, as Miller stated, for the Sabres to assume an identity. Are they an offensive team who will sacrifice D at times and take chances? Or are they a defense first type of team? I think they were somewhere in between the two this year and really weren't sure, which falls on the coach and GM. They need to bring guys in and establish their own style of play and stick to it. I really don't think they are that far off from being a contender, but they do have to make some moves. Look at the playoff teams this year, there is not much separating 1 through 8 talent wise. Boston should win the conference, but if they don't it would not surprise me at all.

No way they work for the same person. Can you blame Tony? His other option is going to jail for the rest of his life. That one canister will net him enough dough to hide away for the rest of his life if he wants. Looks like Tony's plan was to destroy all the other bio weapons except for one canister and sell that to the highest bidder or he already has a purchase agreement. Very good twist, but you knew something was up when Larry told the agent to take the hand cuffs off of Tony...

Excellent! But we will have to tolerate schedule leaks/rumor/sources deep within posts for the majority of the day...

That was one boring, uneventful, and listless article, the same terms which could be used to describe Giambra's career as Erie County Exec as well...

lol, i learned that from Benny Hill...Classic! Some of my favorites: When doing card tricks...."once is entertainment, twice is education" "girls are dime a dozen, now go get a quarters worth"--my buddy to me after getting dumped by my college GF "Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude."--Thomas Jefferson

I remember hearing that years ago, did it happen again? or was that an old clip?

Well at least the upper range, because he has no lower range. He doesn't have the "can sing the phone book" voice, but he is a good entertainer. That's why it is very important for him to pick the right song, which he has done brilliantly thus far.

Exploritory measure to me means that they are not actively trying to trade Parrish, but will listen to offers. If there is an offer they can't refuse they make the trade, but it has to be a very good offer. I don't think it's uncommon or that surprising and it probably happens all the time....

I was going to post that one as well, one of my favorites. I think Adam could do the first part Bohemian Rhapsody a cappella really well, but that's a very tough song to sing...

Good news guys, after last nights win it looks like they're starting to get it! "We're starting to understand what it takes to be the team we need to be," Miller said. Link

Maybe for trying to Kill Desmond and his wife? I believe that's a pretty good reason for apologizing, so I am not going to read too much into that comment. To Desmond it looked as though Ben was going to shoot Penny. I don't think he realized Ben hesitated when he saw her son. And just because he hesitated, it doesn't mean he wasn't going to shoot her. But to play along with your theory, Ben did have a shoulder injury. Even though Desmond beats him senseless, I don't think that's where his shoulder injury came about. There still may be more to the story...

Just received this email: For all the fans of the Masters which started this morning, Here is a video from the practice round on Tuesday. It’s a tradition in the practice round at Augusta National to skip the ball across the water at the par 3 16th. It's an amateur video, so it is not the best. Ignore the first shot, the important one is the second shot which is from Vijay Singh.

The title reminds me that Cotton Fitzsimmons (aka Ye Ole Cotton) hasn't been around in a while...

review from the Buffalo News

20/20 this Friday at 10pm is titled "If I Only Had a Gun". 20/20's website Looks interesting and very scary...

TW airs all the home games in HD, but all the away games on MSG are in standard definition. As previously mentioned it's a money dispute, imagine that! And FYI, the Sabres aren't the only team that this affects, so there could very easily be additional "My God (insert MSG aired team here) Fans" threads as well...

Ewwww....not that there's anything wrong with that.

"No offense, but you're lame"....Classic! And Dang, it's still snowing where Mr. Fancy Pants is? Pretty bad, since it finally all melted here in B-Lo.... Almond Joy has nuts, Mounds don't...has a totally new meaning now.....

It's his first start in a while, it probably won't be long before Wang's pulled....

Winner of the best response to the blog: "Honesty from a player is refreshing - and entertaining when he’s a moran "

And if you've never heard the band, Those Idiots, it's worth the trip alone. They are great fun and usually only play on Dyngus Day and at the Dozynki Harvest Festival. They have a few clips on youtube, but I am blocked here at work...

Had a few Tyskie's this past weekend to warm up for the big day... Na zdrowie!

Worst part is the Rangers losing back to backers to Philly and the Panthers splitting their last two are very possible. The Sabres winning their last 3 is pretty much impossible. While I do blame the front office for most of this mess, I think the league has changed since the lock out as well. The Sabres were the fastest team on the ice after the lock out and with the interference and holding penalties being enforced, it opened the ice up and they dominated. But the rules have changed back to the pre-lock out rules of hockey. Interference is rarely called, you can no longer dump and chase the puck without being interfered with. The defensemen can jump out and block your path with no risk of penalty. And holding and cross checking isn't called as tightly in the crease. These rules were enforced in order to open up the game and make it more exciting with the hopes of attracting a bigger fan base. But now defense and size is a bigger factor than speed. The Sabres front office didn't adjust at all to the change and they are where they should be with their currect roster. They need a better D and size, speed alone will no longer win under the current officiating. And they are not even all that fast any more and still undersized, which is a deadly combination. I honestly believe that even with Drury, Campbell and Briere, this team is mid pack at best. But at least that puts them in the playoffs. It's very frustrating.

If you check out some of the hundreds of other Peters posts, you will find that he turned down an above "market value deal" that was offered to him by he Bills. That deal does sound about right to just about everyone, unfortunately it's not enough for Peters...

Correct, that's why Atlanta plays in a dome... to be honest, this is better than a Peters, sources deep within or who do we draft post.
