On The Ice And Off, A Different Game
When Milan Lucic peeled away from Patrick Kaleta, passing up a golden opportunity to plaster the Sabres agitator to 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...

Patrick Kaleta destroys Oliver Lauridsen in fight
Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Oliver Lauridsen may be 6’6″ 220 lbs, but his size certainly didn’t help him against Buffalo Sabres pest Patrick Kaleta (6’1″ 200 lbs).

Why Ryan Miller calling out Patrick Kaleta is a good thing
You may recall Buffalo Sabres noted dirty play guy Patrick Kaleta got suspended for five games for nearly breaking Brad Richards' neck against the boards. Upon his return from suspension, interim Sabres coach Ron Rolston benched Kaleta, as an extension of his punishment, presumably to send a point. I guess it kind of worked, because Kaleta was upset. Not necessarily remorseful...

Before Players Like Kaleta, These Players Played The Same Game
from Sean McIndoe of Grantland,
... each of today’s NHL villains is simply following in the footsteps of those who came before them. So today, let’s pay tribute to the previous generation.

Patrick Kaleta is the symptom of a greater disease
The hockey world took to bashing Patrick Kaleta with a hint of glee after his reckless, dangerous hit on Brad Richards in the first tilt of 2013 between the Buffalo Sabres and the New York Rangers. They said what you’d normally expect when a player of Kaleta’s reputation does anything dumb. Get him out of the game, he’s useless, etc. He’s become the new WORST PLAYER EVER...
