We haven’t written much here since the trade deadline, but when we’ve wanted to write it’s about Pat Kaleta. Look for a podcast and a lot more content this week. For now, learn to do that celebration for your pickup hockey games.

No hype is enough for Ryan Miller. We’ll see you on Friday.

Toni and company sure took care of business last night. There’s plenty more hockey to play today, but I can’t help but look forward to tomorrow night. Anyone with me?

These may be the only Sabres you see play for a few weeks, but there is some good news on the NHL front: Mirtle brought back his 90+ Points or Bust!
Okay so that’s not nearly as exciting as it seemed in my head, but it’s a good sign nonetheless. Mirtle says the Sabres need to [...]

From Yahoo Sports’ Dan Wetzel:
The International Olympic Committee allowed Miller to keep on his helmet a tribute to a cousin who died due to complications from leukemia.
Miller started in net against Switzerland here Tuesday with the phrase “Matt Man” painted on his Olympic mask as a tribute to Matt Schoals, who died in 2007 at age [...]

- On Sunday I went to Syracuse and saw the Cuse/Louisville game. I would blame myself for the loss, but they really did play some terrible basketball for the majority of the game. It was also odd to see a huge crowd (largest all season) sit on their hands for the entire first half. I [...]

The End?

By the looks of things around here it would appear that the Sabres are done playing hockey for a few weeks. I suppose that’s true, but I hope you don’t expect the Roost to go quiet over that time. Chris still owes us a post about Saturday’s game, I took a nice little road trip [...]

When this happened in real time I thought it looked sort of silly. Now I think it sums up a lot of what’s going on with this team right now:

Clearly I’ve got nothing today. Let’s hope the Sabres have a bit more than that tonight against Carolina.

I’m working on a View From the Roost post, but first I thought we should talk about the fights last night. We’ll skip Craig Rivet just like Lindy did last night. Here’s Adam Mair and Milan Lucic:

First of all, Jack Edwards and friend need to can it. Anyone who doesn’t realize there’s a double standard for [...]

And so the Saints are crossed off the “never won a Super Bowl” list. I’m happy for them, but I can’t help but feel a bit lonely when it happens.
Ugh, there’s always next year.

Like I said, I’m not pressing it, but it’s right here on the keyboard. I’m staring at it debating what to do. I haven’t figured that out yet, but here’s what I am going to do: watch the last six hours of Sabres hockey again and try to figure this all out.
Super Bowl first, then the [...]
