By Chris on May 31, 2007

By Chris
In the third and final installment (for now) of this guide, I examine the restricted free agents, the fourth line, Ty Conklin, Drew Stafford and Dainius Zubrus.
The Restricted Free Agents
Thomas Vanek and Derek Roy are the big names on the list that include Paetsch, Dan Paille and Andro Peters.

Vanek’s regular season efforts have earned him a [...]

The Legend of Howie Clark

By Chris on May 31, 2007

By Chris
A few years ago my brother’s baseball team went out to a Bisons game here in Buffalo and for the second game of the doubleheader decided to go sit out in the picnic area in right field. Herron’s Landing is a prime location for heckling and Syracuse Sky Chiefs right fielder Howie Clark got it good.
Picture [...]

Cuban Football Crisis?

By Rich on May 31, 2007

by RichWell, Mark Cuban is at it again. Not content with going round-for-round with David Stern anymore, everybody’s favorite billionaire is now looking to move up a weight class and slug it out with Roger Goodell. Personally, I have mixed feelings about this venture…even if it doesn’t technically exist yet.On the one hand, you need [...]

Your Guide to the Sabres Offseason Part Two

By Chris on May 30, 2007

By Chris
In Part One, I discussed the state of the Front Office and the Captains. Today is all about the blue line.
The Defense
Yikes. That’s about all that can be said about the defense’s performance in the playoffs. Coming into the 2006-07 season, The Buffalo News ran a feature suggesting that this could be the best starting six in [...]

As the Kobe World Turns…..

By Jon on May 30, 2007

By Jon
Earlier today, Kobe Bryant told Stephen A. Smith that he would like to be traded. A few hours later, Kobe changed his mind like a pregnant woman in the ice cream aisle.
Memo to Kobe: You look like a fool. Congrats.
Rumors of your unhappiness have been swirling for days. So you go on a national [...]

Your Guide to the Sabres Offseason Part One

By Chris on May 30, 2007

By Chris

It’s been almost two weeks since the Senators ended the Sabres season, and now that we’re a month away from the start of unrestricted free agency, it sounds like a great time to seriously look what the Sabres could (and should) do in order to maintain their status as legitimate Stanley Cup contenders. We’re going [...]

Breaking news out of the International Branch of the Goose’s Roost:Thomas Vanek is going to be a father.
Of course, if you clicked the link above, the only thing you really learned is that he has a very snazzy website, but is still unable to smile properly when his picture is taken. So, we here [...]

Dear ESPN Bottomline Guy,
We understand you have a lot on your mind, but sometimes you suck for us. We know it is your job to tell us everything that happened in a limited amount of space, but sometimes you just get [...]

Thought Process?

By Jon on May 27, 2007

By Jon
Five Days. 120 hours. A full work week.
Five days is a long time. Enough time to forget about an entire league, apparently.
The biggest mistake the NHL could have made was scheduling the first game of the Stanley Cup finals five full days after the conclusion of the conference finals. Now, I’m sure there [...]

Around the Ring

By Chris on May 26, 2007

By Chris

When ESPN debuted Battle of the Gridiron Stars two summers ago, I thought that there was no way it was going to last. I could just see Peyton Manning climbing over the giant wall, falling, and breaking his leg. Then the Colts would sue the pants off of anyone and everyone involved in the production [...]

Not So Cox-sure Just Yet

By Ryan on May 25, 2007

By Ryan
Looking to ESPN for NHL news is never a good idea, but when TSN is occupied throwing a Senators orgy all over its web space you just get trapped in a corner. What I did find today was lacking as always, but interesting enough. Here goes.
I’m sure they just dug through the archives and replaced some [...]
