Seemed a bit whoosy on both parts. Jumping visor-turtle against pick your spots guy.

I feel for Kaleta's parents. How is his dad going to face the neighbors after that?

Great job by Kaleta... on the 5 minute powerplay Buffalo scored and the "undefeated Rangers" are no longer undefeated... but wait is Buffalo 3-0?? I believe so. Great job Kaleta, he should have received an assist on Vanek's goal. Lets go Buffalo....

By the way... Kaleta is a little baby. Yea, he likes to throw late hits and expects people not to get mad. Last year he hit Mara with a late hit and broke Mara's jaw, and i think orbital socket. keep throwing your late hits buddy... don't worry, I give you credit on dodging this fight, because your team capitalized with it, but don't worry, a little bitch like yourself can't hide in the NHL forever!

This wasn't a fight. It was revenge. Kaleta flattened Mara last season, breaking Mara's jaw. It was a legal hit, but when you do that kind of thing you have to be ready to answer the bell. But, when Mara came looking for Kaleta last night, Kaleta turtled. Maybe it was as smart play strategy-wise. But this isn't over yet. Kaleta has yet to answer for his hit. Next time the stakes will be even higher. This is exactly the kind of escalating thing that causes line brawls. Remember Claude Lemieux? Kaleta should stand up and fight and then everyone can move on.

Would you hate to be a Sabres and have to try to live with two cowards likes Kaleta and Peters

Claude Lemieux = Kaleta = Turtle = I don't want that scum bag in The NHL.

Not surprised by Kaleta cowering like a pansy. He loves to take runs at players but when they call him out on it this is what happens. He should team up with the Olsen twins in Habland and have a tea party.

If I played for Buffalo I'd target Kaleta in the next practice for being an embarrassment to the team.

The two points that Buffalo got won't matter in April when they're out of the playoff picture again. Kaleta, on the other hand, will be labeled a chicken-sh*t for the rest of his life now. I wonder if the trade off will be worth it for him.

I love big hits, but hate intent to injure, and it constantly seems like this little punk kaleta is trying to put his shoulder pads into someones face. I understand why mara had enough, kaleta deserves to be beat every game until he stops this crap and starts playing real hockey.

Ok... First of all Kaleta missed the high strung wuss that Mara is, and Mara started throwing in revenge for getting smashed last year. Kaleta didn't fight back because he knew it would draw a penalty for the Sabres

He does not cheap hit anyone. I cant remember ever seeing him getting a penalty for one of his hits. He got Mara kicked out of the game and a 5 min penalty in which the sabers scored on. Now who is stupid. I am wondering if Kaleta was laughing behind that visor, waiting for the ref to come and throw Mara out of the game.

Stupid move on Mara's part if he intended on his team winning the game. He could have controlled himself and moved on but alas... 5-0 down the tubes.

Cheap hitting = Ass Kicking. You play ***** and you get Flucked.

People, I thought that the whole meaning of a fight is 2 people throwing punches; not 1; isnt that right?
