Wow you both really don't get it. I know I'm over verbose to the point that my eyes get blurred, but c'mon now. Obviously the point isn't people coming from other teams - DUH - the Isles have a bunch from other teams and got back into the playoffs BECAUSE of players from other teams. However...

You miss my point again - the whole Oiler thing is because the joke was that the whole championship team came over... Santa, KRod, and Putz didn't come from the same team right? And once again, I was trying to list all the Oiler players that came to the Rags, so yes I would include Hudson...

C'mon now... You're comparing the trades with the Blackhawks and Leafs to be on the same level as with the Oilers? You might possibly be the only one that thinks the Oiler influence on the Stanley Cup team wasn't the dominating factor on the Stanley Cup team. Messier, Graves, MacTavish, Lowe...

I assure you - the context that I've heard "Rangers of Canada" was not used in a fond way. It was a statement to show how much they disliked their franchise and what they apparently stood for. However, if you would like to have illusions of grandeur of the Rags across the NHL, I'll give you...

Spoken like a true Rag fan. It's so amusing to hear this from a fan of a team that on more than one occasion has been referred by some Canadian hockey fans in their dislike of the Maple Leafs, that the Leafs are "the Rangers of Canada". For all the cheap shots laid upon the Isles by you, over...

Yeah, I would say don't give up hope yet. I feel many of the things you do. I thought it was horrid how Willie was treated, but the history books will show that he ended up doing the right thing. Regardless of what people think - it was just simply handled so poorly and Omar's reasoning was...

FROM YOUR LIPS TO GOD'S EARS. lol! :D

Must be a slow news week to poke fun at the last place team. Bitch-slapped? With the exception of the first game, each game thereafter was a 1 goal decision. That's not bitch-slapped, my friend. Certainly not anymore of a bitch-slapping as: GAME 1: SENATORS 5 @ SABRES 2 FINAL GAME...

I'm sure everyone's just about seen this, but I think it deserves mention here... :) Habs Ryan O'Byrne's first goal this year last night comes through his own net on a delayed penalty call. Talk about stealing two points (or at least one) from Montreal! Definitely amongst the most...

Nothing is necessary. Ask the NHL why the Devils were allowed to relocate here from Colorado when there already were 2+1 teams in the area (if you include Hartford). It's obvious why the Isles don't sell out - it's because for the good part of the last 15 years, they've been cellar dwellers...

Doesn't surprise me for you to write that. Didn't take 3 posts back from my hiatus!

That's a fan poll. What makes you think that people who didn't pick the Bears or Jets as their favorite team care more about the Bears? For all we know, the Bears have 4.9% of the NFL interest and the remaining 95.1% are more interested in the Jets... ...and that's 2007 - when Favre was a...

I think Jets fans should talk as much as possible because each and every step of the way, people come up with new ways to doubt them. When they got Favre, they said he was going to be mediocre. They said the Jets will at best be 8-8. They said that chances are they prob still wouldn't make...

:D My favorite memory of Herm in NY!!

If I recall - not sure if they still do it this way - teams playing on MNF used to be influenced by the record of the teams in the previous season. That didn't mean losing teams wouldn't be on MNF, but they would usually be playing a team that did well the previous season. Also doesn't the NFL...

I think the NFL bears some of the blame here - the game has morphed into a fast and hard hitting league over the decades and the NFL promotes that. As a result, you're going to get people going overboard and testing the limits. Equipment is different - designed to be faster and more protective...

This is one that I can't see getting broken anytime soon. Only 16 games a year at a position that is the most vulnerable on the field. Amazing.

Actually to be honest, I think with the way Bettman has designed the league and his constant search to create higher scoring games - I think NHL records would be the most likely to be broken. NHL rules have been so volatile over the last decade in an effort to promote higher scoring so I think...

I heard there was big mayhem during the 2nd.....as documented in this pic: Hmm, I think I see Sabretooth in there somewhere...about to get his second game misconduct!

The Sabres are smacking Joey MacDonald all the way back to Detroit. 7-1. OY! ..and counting! I guess at least I get to see it in HD tonight on Time Warner. LOL!

Hey SabresRule - if you were in town I'd give you my tickets for this afternoon's game with the Sabres in town since I won't be able to go (work). :) Ugh - I am not a fan of weekday games! It's Kids Day which I think a bunch of mascots from across the league show up which I actually always...

L O L (Having trouble figuring out who's scarier!

And old favorite... :) Mats Sundin Skeletor

Always trying to stir the pot SabresRule... So, which Dolan penned that description? I don't mind previews that are subjective on the team, but I think such an insult to the fan base written into a preview of the team is way out of line. No one liked to see Nolan go but he didn't want to...

All of the above. (rest of the Atlantic)
