Can I ask you guys a quick question?
What’s the deal with your alternate captaincy? The official roster only lists a captain, no alternates.

They alternate it home and away. I honestly have no idea who gets it when.

Do you know off the top of your head who they are?
The only other team that lists no alternates at all is Philadelphia. Boston only lists one. Everyone else has minimum two.
It sounds like the old captain rotation system but applied to the A instead of the C.

3 rows from the Ice. Had a great few of it as all the Lightning fans in front of me never moved and stayed seated the entire time. I go to all the Sabres games down here. Nothing compared to games at HSBC though. I can’t wait to get back up there; maybe during playoff time.

i’ve got an interview coming up with joe dipenta. For those that don’t know, he won a cup with anaheim three years ago and now plays for portland in the AHL. it’ll be posted some time this week so be sure to have a look.
Cool.
Idk if Im over-stepping my boundries here, So just say “no comment” or whatever if you cant tell me… But how the hell do you guys talk to all the prospects out there lol. Seems like you guys talk to one a week, or every other week at least. Its awesome so keep them comin, but I was just curious

Nice…looking forward to that. Can you please make sure to ask what he thinks of the young guys (Weber, Brennan, Schiestel, Perrson, Gragnani, Kostka, Ennis, Gerbe, Enroth, Gogulla, and even Mancari)?
I was thinking of something along the lines of..
What teammates do you see making a leap in the NHL in the near future?
by Rafal Ladysz on Mar 16, 2010 8:04 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm gonna remain an optimistic here...
Sure, those first six minutes stunk. But they sort of came back the rest of the period.
I wonder which “Ruff” shows up in the intermission – the hell hath no fury coach, or the one that’s eased off with the verbal machete.
Someone help me out here – I caught the game in bits and pieces for the first ten. What is Ruff rolling out as line combos?
Well lets get em in the 2nd!!!
"Its always Miller Time
Whens it gonna be Sabres-Offense Time?"
- by Jsz on Mar 3, 2010 6:25 PM PST
Does Buffalo Win More Than One Game in the Playoffs?
Even with a few wins as of late this team just does not seem to stack up to any opponent like they were in the beginning of the season. Is it a lack of confidence? Is Ruff’s philosophy fallen on deaf ears? How do you come out like this three games in a row?
With Buffalo’s play now and before the the Olympic break I do not see Buffalo winning any more than one maybe two games in the playoffs. Especially if we get matched up with our Kryptonite, Ottawa. Am I just being outlandish, or are my concerns grounded?
Your Thoughts.
Trivia?
Off topic, Myers is definitely a candidate for rookie of the year (Calder Trophy). Only Bert and Tommy B. won before. Was anyone else nominated?
you wanna know who else is up for the calder? duchene i know the one of the top condidates

- by Jsz on Mar 3, 2010 6:25 PM PST
Honestly I dislike Rivet more than those to, Lalime would be second and Monty is in the top 5. I just do not think Rivet is the leadership the Sabres need from the captain. Maybe it’s because I’m not in the locker room but I just don’t see the leadership on the ice. Drury, Barnes, Peca, etc.. Rivet doesn’t even come close to our past captains.

Tyler Myers
Is Tyler Myers he real deal? He sure seems like it, but I remember saying the same things about Sekera, Butler, and Weber. Is Myers only going to be a flash in the pan this season, or will he be solid for years to come. Butler currently cannot break through the starting lineup over the fleet of foot Montador. Sekera has his issues, and Weber can’t even get out of Portland. Just some thinking I’ve been doing.
Your Thoughts
My only concern is that we have all become high on these young defensemen in the past and they’re not exactly where we would hope they would be currently. Does that directly relate back to coaching?
I dont remember being this high on a rookie player on the Sabres since Ive been alive… He seems special.

Hi! I'm hungry! How are you?
uggh.. i hate their horn so much. Why is it necessary to blow it for the number of goals they have? To remind the people in attendance that fell asleep what the score is?

There was slight pushing motion
that should count
by Over the Moon on Mar 16, 2010 9:23 PM EDT up reply actions
It can go off the glove as long as he doesn’t push it with his hand. Looked like the hand was on the stick and a good goal.

We had that exact same play go against us in the last playoff series we won, but everyone admitted it was the wrong call (including the opposing coach)
Not even the Toronto Maple Leafs could kill my optimism
Free Tyler Ennis!
We also had one called for us
a play where Pominville gloved it into the net.
