Even he knows how he would be received at the All-Star Break meetings.

Garth Snow has to be the front runner for GM of the year.

Have a look at this..

Drafting is not a means to an end in the NHL, Football sure, Not the NHL.

The NHL is like MLB, You draft an 18 year old with the hopes he cracks your lineup at the age of 24.

This is some scary results >>>>>http://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/CHI/draft.html

Did anyone claim the draft is a means to and end? No? Ok.

You know why Risto was a scratch versus Detroit??

DETROIT – Ted Nolan made sure his young defenseman understood the situation.

This was not a punishment for Rasmus Ristolainen. The 20-year-old defenseman was a healthy scratch Sunday night in Detroit because the Buffalo Sabres coaching staff could see he was mentally fatigued.

With an eight-day All-Star break awaiting after the game with the Red Wings, a 6-4 loss extending the skid streak to 11 games, Nolan wanted Ristolainen to take a break.

“He’s been making some uncharacteristic decisions lately,” Nolan said Sunday afternoon in Joe Louis Arena. “Sometimes when you have a young player like that, it’s good to sit. We know he’s going to be one heck of a player but sometimes you throw too much at a kid early. We’ve got an eight-day break so we thought right now would be a good time to have him watch. We showed him some film of some decisions he made.”

I don't really get Spiked and Floflo.

Clearly they're not Sabres fans, yet they seem really bothered and really obsessed with how bad the Sabres are sucking.

If the Leafs, Bruins, Hurricanes or Caps were sucking this bad, I'd just point and laugh.

Risto was scratched because Nolan is a buffoon.

Lecter, why hasn't Nolan been fired?

Any real NHL team would have fired a coach who is coming off of last year's historically poor record followed by this year's record and currently on a 11 game losing streak.

It is like the Sabres are thumbing their nose at the NHL with their blatant tanking.

Because Nolan felt he was a fatigue. Next deflection?

The team sucks. I'd like to see the coach that could avoid historic ineptitude with this roster.

And besides, what do you care if they intentionally tank? That's one less team competing with yours for playoff position.

In his defense, the team sucks anyway.

Let him suffer, can him after the year and bring in a coach that can work with the kids and improve them
