I expected them to at least pretend this was something more...

At least they got to bench Miller and Erod again.

Can't help it, Smith was REALLY happy to be there...

He was at first. Maybe he requested a trade after the game.

He doesn't need to clear waivers to be called up, only sent down. Lazar signed a two way contract, that is why he needed to clear before going back to the amerks.

we are joking around because his time in the NHL lasted 84 seconds. doesnt matter what your role is as a hockey player it is like a knife to the gut.

One-way vs. two-way deals have nothing to do with waivers, only payment.

Its obvious Jason never consulted Ralph before bringing Smith up.

The Sabres placed forward Dalton Smith on waivers Thursday and are likely to send him back to Rochester if he clears. Smith skated in both the morning skate and pregame warmup while awaiting his fate.

"It's a great story. Here's a young man who came into our organization and developed," Botterill said. "(Amerks coach) Chris Taylor is in charge of developing young players at age 20 but he's also in charge of developing players of all ages. Here's a 25-year old who came into our organization and ... earned that NHL contract."
Smith played only four shifts in Tuesday's game and took a roughing penalty with Tampa Bay's Luke Schenn. It was defenseman Jake McCabe who dropped the gloves with Tampa's Mikhail Sergachev after a hard hit on Eichel.
"It's great to see (Smith) earn that contract," Botterill said. "And I also thought Jake McCabe stepping up in that situation was great. Our guys played with team toughness and that's what we have to do in the second half."

Botts is going to have to change his last name if this keeps up. Jason Credibility has a nice ring to it.

Don't do it Kevyn. I know you want to.
