    WTF is going on?

    The Sabres traded for the rights to Regehr, then signed Gerbe.

    Last night on the NHL network, they had about a segment about the Sabres that probably went close to 10 minutes. It started with a phone interview with Gerbe about the new contract, the Portland/Rochester situation and some general NHL chat, then they went on to talk about the Sabres FA/cap situation.

    Then today, I see the Sabres got the rights to Ehrhoff, who was one of the FA targets mentioned for the Sabres on NHLN.


    There is still no guarantee that these moves will pan out, and there is no guarantee the Sabres will make a huge FA splash tomorrow like we are expecting, but for once, a Buffalo team is working hard to improve, money be damned. And they're actually getting positive attention from national media.

    It feels like a Buffalo team actually gives a **** for the first time since the Bills signed Sam Adams, Spikes and Fletcher. It's a good feeling- just one I'm not used to.

    Re: WTF is going on?

    Ehrhoff was awful in the Finals... he was like -10 or something.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      when luongo is letting in 8 goals in one game and 3 consecutive shots, it's hard to be a plus anything. and then factor in that tim thomas stood on his head for the most part, that's not surprising. i'd rather hear how he did through the playoffs as a whole. not just the cup finals.

        I can only tell you what I saw in the finals. Mighty could probably give you better insight as to the rest of his post season.

            He was +19 on the year and +36 in 09-10. He's only had one minus year in his entire career.

            The entire Vancouver team choked in that series. If you want to base decisions solely on 1 playoff series, Marc-Andre Gragnani was even and had 7 points in 7 games against Philly. Better sign him to a $3 million a year contract.

              He's 32, we have enough defensemen, and I hate trades within the division, so I'll pass on that.

                I think he had a shoulder injury - or maybe some other injury - in the final series against Boston. It makes sense, because he was really good in the regular season and the early playoff rounds.
                Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                    I'm not surprised. He was a major bust in the Bruins system. The power play actually got worse with him. We have a guy in Providence that can definitely step in for him. He's going to make huge money in this market though.

                      He (ehrhoff) was playing with a very bad shoulder too. Don't let 7 games overshadow 3 years of quality stats

                          Also, another bi-product of this is that the Bills form is very boring by comparison. It's probably partly because of the lockout and the lack of news, but with the Sabres, I feel like we're watching the team get better instead of just hoping the team gets better.

                            And, more shockingly, WTF is with Op's positive attitude?

                              Hey, I call it as I see it. For a long time, there has been nothing but negative from the Bills and the Sabres. Right now, I see some positive things going on, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
