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.
Brad May reported McCormik deal, who also has the same agent as Richards :hmm:

If you make something "Idiot-proof", they'll only make better idiots!
The Richards will get Richards
"Richards to Buffalo did not seem likely, or plausible to myself and many others UNTIL Mr. Pegula constructed Erhoff's front-loaded contract. 29 other NHL teams stand in awe of Pegula's financial fortitude and sense of urgency to attract and sign the best of the best players. A source told me that Richards places a high premium on a team's goaltending, as he did on Khabibulin in Tampa's Cup winning year in '04. I'm told that Richards holds Hank Lundqvist and Ryan Miller in high regard. Toronto's Reimer has not built a winning resume yet. Leafs will be a long shot. Stay tuned...."

they are too busy hit refresh on twitter looking for "xxx was signed by xxx"
Nice! I was hoping they would keep McCormick. He was the unsung hero, voted on by the whole team.
was that the tendered QO?
j-e-t-s
jets jets jets (insert suck for those who aren't gangreen fans)
So it's going to come down to the Sabres vs the Rangers...who can spend the most and who is more attractive. Hmmm....I'm getting excited!!!
Nope. He originally signed a 1-year qualifying offer. Now they just locked him up for 3-years.
I really like our chances... What do you think it might be? I think it's 75% chance we land him.
thats a very generous hometown discount.... i'll take it!Nope. He originally signed a 1-year qualifying offer. Now they just locked him up for 3-years.
Owner willing to sling out LARGE Signing Bonus' and fly w/ wife and coach to come meet you

WGR has confirmed that Cody McCormick has signed a 3 year $3.6 million contract to remain with the Sabres! Rob Ray joins our coverage NEXT!
and on that note.. im off to work.... ill be checking my twitter/fb often
*heres to hoping*
At least that prevents the resigning of Connolly
1.2 Mill Cap hit,
Bye Bye Koats, See ya in rochester...
I think you're arguing that the Sabres would win... Terry would absolutely go to meet him.
According to capgeek.com the Sabres now have the 2nd largest payroll in the league.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
YOu say thatlike the rumor mongers care. :)
I stillhave my fingers crossed on a ******ed stamkos deal. Let me have it for a few more minutes before the idea is totally killed.
But still have enough cap space for Richards.
I was thinking about 70-75%. It depends on how big of an issue the coach is. He really liked playing for the Rangers coach. I have a feeling that the big contract to Ehrhoff is definitely helping sway him towards strongly considering the Sabres. And we know that Pegula, his wife and Lindy Ruff will most likely be at his house begging him to come, as of noon today. Plus, Pegula could sell 100,000 snow plows to Arizona. I have a feeling that he could easily sell the city of Buffalo to Richards.
Awesome news! I love McCormick! I might get his jersey now....
