Nathan Paestch Avoids Arbitration with a 3yr, $2.55 million deal

Paetsch was the last Sabres player left to sign so the team is probably set as it is now, barring a trade. Nathan was a solid power play contributor and could see time on the point. It remains to be seen whether or not there is a top six spot available for him, [...]

Milestone Night?

There are three milestones that could be bested in Major League Baseball tonight. Barry Bonds* goes for 755* and beyond*****, Tom Glavine is attempting to get his 300th win, and Alex Rodriguez is looking for his 500th home run. I’m probably most impressed by Glavine, unlike the incredibly inflating home run totals, 300 [...]

Daniel Paille Signs Qualifying Offer; Peca Wants Back

Unfortunately for Peca, the Sabres seem content to give Paille and Zagrapan a shot at center before bringing him back. I would not rule it out if the season approaches and Pecs is still waiting (and his price goes down).

All’s quiet on the Sabres front…

The Sabres held their rookie camp last week, and from all accounts the young kids were looking sharp. There should be some talented players to fill the roles (if not the shoes) of Drury and Briere. Trade rumors continue to float, but the team may be waiting until after the arbitration hearings to [...]

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

I should probably subtitle this “I’m what’s wrong with American filmgoers” but I loved this movie. The characters progressed from where they were in the first film, with the Human Torch surprising the heck out of me at the end. I did not think Sue was over the top as far as her [...]
