		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a pretty interesting debate ongoing in the hockey community having to do with bloggers and press passes. To me this is a perfect example of an establishment unwilling to modify a long-standing policy despite operating in a environment going through big changes and a neglected, newly formed subset wanting more, going about it the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How many times have you heard someone say something like the Sabres are infatuated with too many of their players? The connotations of a statement like that make it a pretty serious accusation when you think about it. Are the Sabres really misjudging what&#8217;s most valuable to their competitive and financial success? I&#8217;m curious about [...]]]></description>

The following post was meant to appear at a later date but I think it&#8217;s probably more appropriate now given the discussion that has taken place recently on this particular topic.

		<description><![CDATA[I think we can all agree that the Sabres have had poor production from their backup goaltenders ever since Martin Biron was traded in the 2006-2007 season. It&#8217;s been a flaw in this team for quite some time now. The Sabres give away way too many points when their starter is resting. I do think [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I advocated for the Sabres to walk away from either Lydman or Tallinder or both if the players were unwilling to sign a contract with a term of just one or two years. I expected that both would insist upon longer deals considering the point they&#8217;ve each reached in their careers and so I expected, [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll explain what I mean by that in a minute but first I want to make an admission if it isn&#8217;t totally clear already. I&#8217;m a huge nerd. I love reading and debating.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about Lindy Ruff these past 24-hours. Before I get into this, I think it&#8217;s worth mentioning that my idea of how professional hockey should be played is absolutely formed around Lindy&#8217;s. The effect of my proximity to his success and my emotional investment in his teams can&#8217;t be ignored. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a 7-game playoff series, the first four games are usually the get-to-know-one-another games. Ideally, you come out of them with a little bit of a buffer so that if something fluky and weird happens in a clinching game, you get another try. If you&#8217;re the higher seed and the favorite, the worst you should [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s get right to it. The play that Recchi made on Kennedy to set up the Bergeron goal pretty much perfectly crystallized the nature of this game. The Sabres are made up of too many Kennedy characters and not enough Grier characters to match the Bruins size and willingness to finish their checks. Kaleta clearly [...]]]></description>
