THE ISLANDERS HAVE GONE INSANE FOLKS.


Lets sign an average goalie until he is 40. Worst move in the history of sports. Got to love Diepetro if you are in his shoes. Hilarious and it has been the laughing stock of Buffalo radio all day. They actually called up TSN or whatever and asked them if the front news page online was a joke.

I guess it really shows the good general managers. I mean even Darcy Regeir knows not to sign Ryan Miller for more then three years at this time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

But isn't he Garth Snow. GAAAAAAAAARRRTH SNOW.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Good, good for the Sabres. Since they will be about 100 steps ahead of them.

Anyway 82-0 comin. Except I don't like this 5 day break shit. Play saturday and then don't play until Friday.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Niekon, three days is not comparable to five days. You could say they are close but not really.

How ya doing, buddy?

WHo is that? Diepetro, the luckiest guy in the world?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Still don't have power. Bomb went off. Just went up to school to say 5-0.

FELIPE NO

7-0-0. 12 straight. 75 more to go. Da Bruins today. Big Chara lol.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Pretty good, but I don't know I have seen the sabres score about 20 goals of their 46 of that caliber already.

I like how people cannot seem to read a sentence anymore like this random combat name guy. :lolsign:

Yeah Sens only show up for the Sabres it seems. And emery for that matter. (well excluding playoffs)

Anyone see this supposed cheap shot on Spacek? I missed it due to work.

Oh yeah I got a Sabres Windbreaker winter coat. Also a Tshirt and a hoody sweatshirt. Oh and also Sabres socks, which do own if I do say so myself.

I'll just watch a bit on the canadian station since we lucky buffalonians get such stations. Not to mention Versus usually has the most boring announcers on Earth.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Awesome Briere. Didn't get to see any of his points though.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Another blowout coming for the bruins tomorrow.

FELIPE NO

Sabres just won against Atlanta, Ottawa, and Calgary. Too bad they lost Gaustad for the rest of the year and now spacek for like a month.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Weak brawl? I fail to see that. Well unless you are going by ESPN highlghts or something. Anyway all in all GOTY right there. Without a doubt. Game was phenomenal even without it.

Oh yeah and I like how the Sabres are down 8 starters now.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

How did he overreact? 1. Neil, who is known for dirty shit, went after the captain of the team a second or two after he let go of the puck. It may have been clean, but that has nothing to do with it. If Neil has a problem you go after another enforcer not Drury.

You have to realize that this was overdue as well from last years connolly hit from Neil I believe, and the fact that the sabres just lost 6 guys in 6 straight games.

I need to get Jennerettes call of the brawl, the stupid FSN announcers are on You tube, but it ain't the same at all.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, Wojo he had to have 20 stiches in his forehead, and has a minor concussion so it will be like 3-5 games most likely. At least thats what the radio said. Amercks vs Sens saturday will still be a good game though

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

everyone huh

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Why is that guy responding twice?

Oh and looks like GFF is against most analysts opinions, but whatever too many non-objective nerds here. Also Den, wtf, I already explained the situation to you in gfchat, why are you rambling again in here.

Following is the text of an official letter that was sent by Buffalo
Sabres owner B. Thomas Golisano to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman today.


----------

Gary B. Bettman, Commissioner,
National Hockey League,
1251 Avenue of the Americas, 47th Floor
New York, NY 10020

February 24, 2007

Dear Gary,

I am deeply concerned with the standard the NHL has adopted that seems
to allow violent hits to the head.

In light of the most recent injury to our captain Chris Drury, I am
calling on you to address this issue immediately before another player
is seriously injured or worse.

In our recent game with the Ottawa Senators, an opposing player skated
half the width of the ice surface, approached Chris Drury from his blind
side, and delivered a blow to his head which dislodged his helmet,
severely lacerating the area around his eye causing a concussion. Chris
Drury did not have the puck, he was not able to see the player coming
from behind, and had relaxed his guard. The player in question was aware
his presence was undetected but chose to deliver a vicious blow, which
can only be construed as intent to injure.

Hitting is a very important part of our game. You hit to break up a
shot, you hit to disrupt a pass, you hit to battle for the puck and you
hit to gain position for a defensive or offensive play. There are many
times a player is vulnerable. And there are many times when a player can
make a hit on a vulnerable player but chooses not to for fear of
injuring an opponent for no practical advantage. It's called respect.

What we cannot allow are hits that are designed to injure and maim. The
hit delivered to Chris Drury the other night was a hit to injure. In my
view there is no other way to view that play.

As you know, we have been on the other end of hits which cause injury to
the head. Tim Connolly, our star offensive player was knocked out of the
Stanley Cup by this same team. Although I didn't like it, Tim's
situation is very different. He had the puck; he was making a play and
could have reasonably seen the approaching player. I never complained.

This situation is very different.

Your office informed our team today that the hit on Chris Drury was a
legal hit and that it fit within the standard of play acceptable to the
NHL. We do not think this should be the standard and we do not think it
helps our game or the league. There is nothing manly about hitting a
player that can't see you. There is nothing entertaining about a big man
hitting a smaller man in the head. There is nothing good to come of a
policy that allows exciting skilled players to be targets for what I
believe to be predatory play.

I strongly urge you to convene the appropriate forum to immediately
review this policy.

Sincerely,

B. Thomas Golisano,

Governor

Please do.

How ya doing, buddy?

I am sorry, but you shouldn't even be thinking 1st place in the East. It shouldn't have even popped in your head.

FELIPE NO

Sabres - 1, Refs - 1


And I am not just referring to the wrong call that led to the powerplay, which led to the game winning goal. Hi Satan, nice holding the stick.

Crosschecks left and right no calls, roughings, etc.

Looks like Koharski got paid off again. Thats all right though since the Sabres will play too good the next three games for non-calls to even make a difference.
