Crossed Out Name

By Ryan on October 31, 2008

by Ryan
There was a parade in Philadelphia today that was kind of a big deal.
As a general rule I hate everything about that town. Great city, but the whole sports scene could disappear and it would make the world a better place in my opinion. As a Sabres fan we have reason to hate them, and everyone [...]

By Jon on October 31, 2008

By Jon
Our old friend Mike Ryan is in the news again, signing with the Carolina Hurricanes earlier today.
He was assigned to the AHL Albany River Rats, and according to the Albany Times-Union (since edited,) he’s taking a bit of a pay cut…
The contract calls for Ryan to make $475,000 at the NHL level and $75 in the AHL.

75 bucks – Finally [...]

Dugga-ween

I know by now most people have their Halloween plans all laid out by now. However, just in case you have that Quailman costume all ready to go but don’t have plans for tonight, we know the place to be:
Niagara Falls.

Paul Harris is having a party, and everyone is invited.

Make sure to be on the lookout for Carmelo [...]

The Right Hand at Right Wing

By Ryan on October 31, 2008

by Ryan
You know it’s Halloween when you think to yourself, “Hey, where’s my picture of Drew Stafford dressed like Jesus?”

If you must know, that’s me on the right making the kissy face and yes, what Drew and I have is special.
Happy Halloween everyone. Make sure you wear your reflective clothing out there tonight. Don’t talk to strangers, [...]

Another One For the Trash Bin

By Ryan on October 31, 2008

by Ryan
I think this picture sums up the night:
Holy s#$t, we’re down four?!?
Even after getting murdered at home on Monday, there were a few excuses floating around. Long travel day, backup goaltender, catching a good team getting out of a slump. It’s no fun to accept those things, but you move on after a game like that.
There [...]

So

By Ryan on October 30, 2008

by Ryan
As of right now I’ve been up 27 or so hours straight. I shouldn’t be operating a doorknob, let alone a computer. However, a Sabres home game doesn’t preview itself, so here we go:
- Just for the record, I really, really like Pat Kaleta. Keep this in mind. I’ll lay off on talking about him if [...]

The Roost Recommends…

By Jon on October 29, 2008

By Jon
I haven’t posted anything here for weeks, so you think for my triumphant return, I would have a myriad of opinions about everything pertaining to the sporting world or maybe even a preview of tomorrow night’s game.
Wrong.
I didn’t see a minute of the Bills game on Sunday and have watched about thirty seconds total of the [...]

Is That It?

By Ryan on October 29, 2008

by Ryan
I’m pretty sure I’ll never understand the CBA.

Mair’s shenanigans cost him $2,500, which isn’t all that much when you think about it. For all that talk of him getting suspended for calling someone a “f#$king joke”, that seems like a slap on the wrist at best.
As we step away from it more and more of the [...]

Bad Designs?

By Ryan on October 29, 2008

by Ryan
There is always good news and bad news when it comes to new technology. The good news is that change is always happening and change means improvement. The bad news, however, is that change isn’t always such a good thing.
For example, website designs can change anywhere from never (take a look around here, for example) [...]

They’re Not Saying Boo, They’re Saying…

By Ryan on October 28, 2008

by Ryan
BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!

With numbers like that, he’s a lock for the Hall this year. The only question is who gives his speech. Early odds are on Marv, I’d imagine.
Anyone think this is the year Ralph finally gets in?
He’s turning over “all the rocks in Western New York” looking for his jacket.

Short Shift

By Ryan on October 28, 2008

by Ryan
Sorry for another quick post, we’ve been doing that a lot this week. I’m working on something a bit bigger for late tonight, but for now if you haven’t checked out this feature on the World Juniors coming to Buffalo, do so. Jon and I have debated on how well tickets will sell and such, [...]
