Tonight’s game is the biggest game of the Sabres’ season, since the last one. And until the next one. I actually started writing this last week, but never finished it, yet it still can be considered correct. One new positive is that the Sabres can now narrow their focus down to two teams, as [...]

This is, frankly, amazing to me. I AGAIN wrote this team off completely, still cheering for them, but kind of hoping they’d get an awesome draft pick and clean house. They made some solid deadline moves, pulling in a great player for the future, getting another 1st round pick, and so on. How could [...] Buffalo played Jhonas Enroth in both back to back games this weekend, and won both by one goal. It certainly won’t mute the vocal minority who are now thinking that maybe Enroth should be the one to get 50-60 games this year. I don’t think that’s what is happening here, Ruff is giving Ryan [...] First period thoughts: Passing is squirrelly at best. Miller made some solid saves. McCormick/Ellis/Boyes did some good work out there but they can’t be the best line. Sekera had some good plays, Gragnani needs to learn how to receive a pass. Myers is still having a rough go, with the penalty and some tough [...] Giving up 40+ shots isn’t how you want to win, but a strong performance from Jhonas Enroth allowed the Sabres to do just that last night. Vanek/Adam/Pominville continue to dominate, with Pommers scoring twice, Vanek assisting on 3, and Brad Boyes scoring again. There were penalties and giveaways, guys named Cody fighting, and a [...] Despite the quick start, last night’s tilt against the Lightning turned into the typical tough loss. A couple of goals against off your own defenseman’s skate, a couple of other guys have a rough outing, and the end result is a 4-3 loss. Vanek and Boyes opened the scoring early, and Gerbe made it [...] Playing with the Cap Calculator at Capgeek (too much fun), I’ve worked out this roster possibility. I’ll post new ones as the Sabres make more moves, or the real cost of an RFA contract becomes known. I gave everyone that I brought on a bit of an upgrade in salary, seems like what usually [...] There’s a lull in the schedule, following the loss on Tuesday, so here are some random thoughts. Tim Connolly played…well? Has had a few games. This would be huge if it continues, so Buffalo can keep Boyes on the wing. Where is Jordan Leopold? Might be better on D but we could use his [...] A come from behind win against the East-leading Philadelphia Flyers is an event to be celebrated. Some even declared the weekend a success just by getting these 2 points. While that’s true enough from a certain point of view, I’d like to see Buffalo take the playoff spot by the throat and not let [...] |
