lol

stafford just turned that guy compeally turned inside out. to take a a page out of chris burman’s (sp) book woop!

eh i like kotalik alot but hes babying that knee , he should have been back by now , hes good player with and awesome shot and backhander but i think hes always on the wrong lines and isnt being used to his full potential , but we will see what our team can really do when everyones back.COME BACK MAXXXIM !!!

I also feel like hecht and ryan should be together…

you dont wanna rush a knee injury

Sadly doctor, the Sabres’ doctors do not concur.

like he was supposed to be back last night and then they said he was pretty much fine but felt he couldnt skate that good on it yet and wouldnt be back for another possible two weeks, im thinking we dont need you to skate that much cause he never really leads a rush we need some shots fired on net like he does do.

Yeah, he doesn’t have to skate that much. It’s only hockey. Since when has skating been a big part.

Anyway, great game last night. I see Stafford taking Kotaliks job next year. Free up Kotalik’s and Spacek’s salary and see what you can do to keep Briere and Drury.

put him on the power play lol, thats what hes good at anyways. Yea if we booted kotalik and spacek wed have a nice amount of cash to sign the captains, considering spacek gets 3.25 mill a year and doenst do shit and petsch is dying to be permanant and does 10 times more than spacek does a year in a game or two.we could sign peatsch for nothing and have soo much money to work with with out jaro

it still wouldn’t make sense to bring him back, its not like you guys are in danger of missing the playoffs.
