Well we can still talk about Derek Roy and Tim Connolly. Roy is just as productive as he would be if there was a season, and Connolly is playing in the same number of games that he would be if there was a season.

Connolly sucks.

Re: things are really hopping in here

I am just surprised there is not even any talk about the status of the league or the season. There is just nothing. Remember the last time there was a lockout? Our team was lights out after that and still couldn't win it all.

Re: things are really hopping in here

I just don't think there's much to discuss. Everyone sees it as a lost cause. And let's face it- the Sabres are looking pretty mediocre if there is a season.

Do you think there will be a season? Next season? An NHL at all?

neither side seems to feel any urgency to get a deal done. Players are signing overseas. It seems like they are just accepting another lost season.

I don't think they go two. If it goes over a year with no resolution, then the league is basically done. They'll never get people to care again after two or more seasons off.

I read some speculation that they might feel pressure to get a deal done before the Winter Classic so they don't have the embarrassment of canceling such a high-profile event, but it may just be wishful thinking.

I got tickets to the Rochester Amerks game vs. Hamilton on Tuesday 10-23. They moved it to the First Niagara Center - Downtown Buffalo.

As an avid NBA fan, starting a season in shortened form with little time for a team to gel or practice together often leads to pretty sloppy play throughout.

Even if we had an entire offseason to prepare, we would still look sloppy until the last quarter of the season when it's too late to make a push.

I'm hoping they start showing Amerks games here on TV in the Buffalo area.

So at the risk of highjacking the thread, who is right? Who needs to cave more?
