Report Of Roque To Buffalo As Assistant Is False

If this morning's story you may have seen on the internet stating that Ron Rolston has hired Lake Superior head coach Jim Roque as an assistant with the Sabres is true, it's certainly news to Jim Roque.

Report: Sabres Fire Assistant Coaches

From Paul Hamilton of WGR-550,
The Sabres have yet to confirm this, but many sources have told me that Ron Rolston has fired James Patrick and Kevyn Adams.
The report also says Patrick was very upset to be passed over for the head coaching job when Lindy Ruff was fired.

The Diversionary Brilliance Of Ted Black

One of my favorite hockey quotes ever came from former Sabres goalie Martin Biron, who was asked what he was thinking when tough guy Andrew Peters stepped in for him to fight Ray Emery during the legendary Sabres -- Senators brawl of 2007.
Biron’s answer: “I kind of got stood up on the dance floor.”
Sabres general manager Darcy Regier could’ve used the same line Monday after his boss equal valiantly and even embarrassingly took one for the team at the season-ending press conference.
As Regier braced for the smoldering fire to which his feet were about to be placed, Sabres President Ted Black stepped in and threw buckets of ice water on the hot coals.

Sabres’ Vitriol Towards Fans Has Gone Too Far
by @DaveDavisHockey on 04/21/13 at 10:00 AM ET

Talk about kicking a gift horse in the mouth.
Is there something about the diehard hockey fans of Buffalo that’s become too much for this group of Sabres to handle?
If fans can dish it out, they can take it back? This town has been “taking it” for the better part of 43 years, and the Stanley Cup-hungry Buffalo faithful repeatedly look past their dissatisfaction with an inferior product by emptying their wallets to fill the building.
It was cute at first, but the constant pouting coming from this group of underachievers has really gotten tiresome.

On The Ice And Off, A Different Game

When Milan Lucic peeled away from Patrick Kaleta, passing up a golden opportunity for a vicious check on the Sabres agitator into the sidewall early in the first period of last night’s 3-2 Buffalo shootout win over the Bruins, you knew even strictly from a hockey sense that this game was different.
Unlike as prognosticated, TD Garden wasn’t a hornet’s nest or bear’s den. The Sabres weren’t destined, as hinted during pregame by Pierre McGuire, to play the role of the Washington Generals.
Boston didn’t need the win, but they needed the game.

Ott: Getting Booed At Home Is “Completely Ridiculous”

From Howard Simon of WGR-550,
"It's disheartening when we get hemmed in our zone and they’re basically mocking us. When you get up past the blue line and you finally get it in their zone after a minute and a half shift where they didn’t even have a scoring opportunity. I guess you can say it was more of the mocking of my teammates that probably pissed a lot of guys off including myself. You're a fan of the Buffalo Sabres and hopefully you come to cheer us on and motivate us."
