It's even better on the west coast. Saturdays are fantastic. Me and bro in law have a barbacue on saturdays and watch the Leafs at 4pm and then on to the Sharks at 7pm.

For those of us with hate for all things and teams Philly

That was a beautiful thing to watch. As was the overtime win in that series where "Curtis Brown [went] top shelf where Mama keeps the cookies!" I was at that one. Good times leaving the arena, good times. :blink:

I might sound like a homer here but I actually think that Darcy is doing the right thing. Letting the "older" players get overpaid by teams such a Philly while the Sabres sit back and watch a large portion of the league overspend is not necessarily saying they are cheap. They are letting the market play itself out. The Sabres have decided to build from within and stick to the youth theory while other teams invest a lot of money for older players that might not be able to play the "new" style of hockey. The Sabres have a lot of young, aggresive and most of all, quick talent on their roster and in the system. They are a team that is built for the "new" style and doesn't necessarily have to go after the older, veteran players that might not be able to keep up as the season progresses. I say stay away from all the elderly big name players and scoop up any young ones that might slip through the cracks.

Is that why their only signing was a 38-year-old blueliner?

 

Only bustin'. I kind of agree with you actually.

I should have clarified my post by saying that adding a veteran player that the team isn't built around never hurts. A solid veteran on a young team only helps the team get stronger both in the locker room and on the ice.
