We were 1-5 (1-5 in Conference, 1-2 in Division) and 5 games out of first place. If we win next week, we'll be 3-3 (3-0 in Conference, 2-0 in Division) and possibly tied for first place. Given the lousy way we've been playing, I'll take it.
Wasn't it Bettman who pushed for the NHL to take on the Sabres operating costs after Adelphia went bankrupt??? Wasn't it Bettman who did what it took to find a buyer to keep the franchise in Buffalo and not Portland??? The ire against Bettman is totally misplaced...it is the a-holes in the NHLPA who really should be held accountable. If a salary cap is good enough for the NFL, it's good enough for those pukes.
Let me clarify that...I'm saying amen to AKC's original post, not the dribble from those who disagree. I'm a 22 year Navy Captain who couldn't be more proud of our troops in Iraq fighting for democracy.
