I'm getting pretty sick of people saying the fix is in. The worst part is when people think that they're the first to think of it. I guarantee right now that this thing will not be fixed. That doesn't mean that Crosby won't end up in New York though. I think he's going there no matter which team wins the lottery.

I'm pretty sure he hurt his leg this year while playing on that swiss team he was playing for. If you look at the stats labaatblue posted, he didn't play too many games. I've been searching for the story, but I can't find it. I'm sure someone here can back this up.

I thought I heard something about a leg injury. Anyone else hear something like that?

He also signed that deal so he could become an unrestricted free agent the next year. I forget how that ended. Where did he sign with the following offseason?

I'm too lazy to look it up, but this info has been all over most stories over the past week.

Any conversation about the most embarassing play in Bills history has to begin and end with the name Ronnie Harmon.

I'd love to see Weight centering a line with Vanek and Satan. That sounds pretty dangerous to me.

Christmas present actually. I love free stuff.

He's a restricted free agent. The big question is if he's worth the amount of money he would want. Not only is he a soft player, his effort has also come into question. You have to wonder if the money could be better spent on one or two other players. Personally, I want him to stay. I don't want to buy a new jersey.

There's too many ways around that. They'll just ice the puck anyway. If a guy desperately needs to get off the ice, he'll fake an injury.

It also makes the line changes after icing the puck on a penalty kill pretty risky. That hanger will usually stay on the side opposite the benches. The fresh skaters have to move pretty quickly from the bench in order to break up the play (assuming the pass connects).

Crosby's from Nova Scotia. It will be a bit tough for him to play in his hometown. Note: I don't know if he moved to a different area while young, making this post completely pointless.

Try watching a few higher level college games. By higher level, I mean the elite teams. There is no 2 line pass rule there and it really doesn't hurt the game at all.

Sorry about that. I think I'll read an entire post before replying next time. Anyway, I think its a good possibility that management around the NHL will have a tough time adjusting to this system. Yes, the Sabres have a lot of room now, but just like the NFL, Darcy has to be careful not to cripple the team a few years down the line. It's going to be a few years before we can really know whether or not Darcy and co. are any good. I just wonder if the fans are willing to give him enough time to find out.

I think its next to impossible to evaluate the roster right now. There's going to be so much player movement this summer. Half of the players who will be Buffalo Sabres come October probably aren't even in the system right now.

The next month is going to be very crazy. I've always been a big fan of the first week of free agency in sports, all the signings and rumors. This entire month, and probably beyond that, will be just like that. I think I may actually be drooling right now.

My boss is in Italy and I have to check his email for him each day. He's getting about 5 of those stock tip ones per day. I don't get any on either of my email accounts.

From what I've read, the two teams that will probably have the most balls in any lottery would be Columbus and the Rangers. The system I saw went back 5 years and you lose a ball for each year you made the playoffs and each time you had the #1 overall pick. The Blue Jackets traded for the #1 pick, but never actually earned it, so they wouldn't lose any balls.

Ok, I'll pretend that this was what I was going for with that post.

I'll go with Layne Staley too. In fact, its time to throw on an Alice in Chains cd.

If nothing else, he has more than enough time to bounce back.

I haven't read any of the quotes from Jagr or Roenick. Isn't it easy to make comments like this after you've lost? I don't hold any value in these quotes. Guys like Barnaby who said the same thing during the lockout are the one's who should be credited.

It's a minor issue, but I'll point it out. Derek Roy should be able to step into the lineup? Hadn't he already cemented his spot already?

You just ruined my day.
