It’s been a tough start for Buffalo, despite starting the season by winning the first two games. Thomas Vanek, however, has been hot from the start and has shown no signs of cooling. He’s got 19 points in just 8 games (he missed one), and has never looked more dominant. He’s being ably assisted [...]

It feels like a really strange night tonight. The Devils don’t exactly excite anyone, and there’s so much other stuff happening around the Sabres it really feels like this game is an afterthought. They players are all answering questions about their injured goalie, the injured goalie is snarking at the media, and some of [...] Were it not for the fact he’s making a cubic buttload of money over the next 15 years, you’d almost feel sorry for Ilya Kovalchuk. It’s obvious that he WANTS to help his team out but the harder he tries, the worse it goes. Sort of like a Ben Stiller movie, it’s almost too [...] Some things you will hear ad nauseum tonight: Lindy Ruff’s 1000th game! All with one team to start his career! 155 coaching changes (DRINK)! Kovalchuk! You get the idea. It’s the battle of a backup goalie versus an AHL goalie, with both teams trying to claw their way out of the bottom of the [...] That’s what the Sabres are lacking, a dog (sorry Sabretooth) It’s kind of ridiculous, really. We’ve seen plenty of ‘good signs’ for the Sabres at home, but they still haven’t gotten it done. Then we see them blast the Devils, without Kovalchuk (seriously what the heck?) and Brodeur on the road, and it [...] So you are telling me that the NHL has voided the crazy awesome Kovalchuk contract? And is looking into some of the other super-longterm deals? Nice! But hey, there are plenty of other deals that don’t make sense, so I have a proposal: As part of the next CBA, roll back salaries again and [...] I’m with the side that doesn’t think there’s any huge deluge of FA signings now that Kovalchuk is off the board, but there are teams out there that still do need to add salary (or get rid of more than they already have). The pickings are slim as far as big-impact in free agency, [...] The draft was basically a dud as far as trades went, the Sabres made an early exit from the playoffs…are we set up for more disappointment today? We’ve gone over (and over and over) how Buffalo hasn’t been making splashy moves, likes their ‘core’, whatever, but we fans look forward to this day anyway. [...] |
What IS a blockbuster trade?
