SABRES PRACTICE TO BE STREAMED LIVE JAN. 12

Interesting to see if angry Lindy shows up for this one

Smile.. tomorrow will be worse.

Interesting to see if angry Lindy shows up for this one

He might . . . but, if it’s anything like a couple of seasons ago before a game against Chicago – {it was reported in the News that Lindy blew up and let fly with profanity at the morning skate; in the game that night, at one point the Sabres had a six minute PP, and not only failed to score, they got one SOG} – it won’t do any good . . .

I wonder if Vanek and Regehr reenacted the scene from Bridesmaids.

by Frank Reich Revolution on Jan 12, 2012 9:20 AM EST reply actions  

As if this wasn't obvious

Black, whose policy is to not publish contract details, very frank in denying reports of Ruff’s 7-year deal. “Completely inaccurate”

So who the heck started this rumor?

As long as 70 minutes of ice time is being doled out to AHLers and Matt Ellis, the Sabres are basically doomed

Yeh I just saw this too. I wonder if Vanek asked out in order to rest up some injuries like he did last year.

I was thinking the same thing

SABRES NAME BRENT ROSSI VP OF BRAND STRATEGY AND MARKETING

Shades of Mark Hamister . . . a lot of concern from this group about branding and market strategy . . . how ’bout more concern about the on-ice product itself . . .

Nothing to see here

Move along….for now. I don’t think this means they’re ignoring the on the ice poduct.

by Philaster on Jan 12, 2012 11:37 PM EST up reply actions  

They’re a business and there are other sides of a business. Sure the on ice product comes first and foremost, but that doesn’t mean they let everything else go while they address it.
