    Ottawa is getting slammed on the TSN live feed, even by some Senators fans.

      Re: NHL FA Thread

      Why are the Sabres being mentioned for Paul Martin?
      Injured last year and makes like 4.5 million. Not all that young and never really had more than a slightly average season.

        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.

          Desperate times. I guess that is why he would not sign with the Pens. He know what the Sens would give him.

          But he might as well rack up 8 points against Buffalo. It is not like they can beat the Sens anyway. So it really does not make a difference.

                From what I read, the Penguins wouldn't give him more than 2 years because of the whole retirement issue and being saddled with his contract no matter what.

                  Actually, make that Biron signing a just a shade under $900K per year.

                  Guess that's one argument we can stop having.
                  Wow. Didn't he say he wanted a chance to start? That is kind of surprising it happened so quickly too.

                    If I can't take pride in my success, I will enjoy others failures!

                    Woot! The life of a Buffalo sports fan!

                      The Bruins have had about 3 young one and done goalies... Timmy is good insurance policy, by the way Timmy has a NTC andhas mentioned he has no desire to leave Boston.

                        Sabres might be talking to Volchenkov.

                          He has never played less than 70 games per season till last year and he's only 29.

                          I wouldn't mind him at all, although it doesn't get them off the hook for the PP QB they still need to sign.

                            That sounds like the typical Buffalo Sabres model for mediocrity, perfect for us. not surprised at all.

                                Doesn't Philly already have cap problems or potential ones? Before the playoffs, I would have thought that Briere would be gone because he never lived up to the money in the regular season. Or maybe I was just hoping that.

                                I also thought that the Rangers would pay off Drury as well to get rid of him.
