This draft could be fun. As in we all get really angry and throw stuff at the TV.

Or not – we can all keep talking about MacKinnon and Drouin. ENDLESSLY.

Enroth “Absolutely” Ready for Starting Gig

Posted by Scott Michalak on June 3, 2013 at 8:41 am

We already know what the MSM and bloggers think about Enroth’s ability to take over the starting role between the pipes in what could soon be a post-Ryan Miller era. He’s earned a shot.

Time to get him on the ice?

But what about his peers?

Burying the Hatchet

Posted by Scott Michalak on May 21, 2013 at 11:29 am

Somebody asked me yesterday if I am dreading the next Sabres season.

I get it: losing isn’t fun. Plus, we just endured a season with a lockout, arguments about the quiet crowd at the FNC, arguments about booing, and so much more weird stuff (OTT LICKED A GUY) that I don’t have the time or the patience to list them all. I just want to forget them.

I want to move on.

In a way, we are doing that already.

Arguing about booing? I’m so done with this. Let’s go get a burger, dude.

#RR Crossing

Chugga chugga.

The Sabres removed the interim stamp from Ron Rolston’s head coaching position today. For fans, it kinda feels like the same old Sabres train just keeps chugging along. We had Lindy Ruff for 16 years, so why expect any outside-the-box/arena thinking on the hiring of a coach for the rebuild?
