Sabres Hockey

The Sabres split the weekend, shutting out the Canes 1-0, while losing to the Coyotes 4-2. Other than suffering the ignominy of allowing Biz Nasty to score, the worst news came in the third period on Saturday, when Tyler Myers didn’t return to the ice. He’s got an ‘upper body injury’ that we should [...]
The plot, it does thicken. After a resounding win over the Senators, Buffalo went to Boston and let the Bruins run roughshod over them (literally). A lot has already been said about Lucic and Miller and responses. I think Nick Mendola summed up the immediate reaction best for me:
The Sabres immediate response to [...]
Now that the Sabres are all but assured of making the playoffs, let’s take a look at their most likely combatants. There’s a few possibilities here, as the Sabres could be anywhere from 6th to 8th. 7th is the most likely spot to finish in.
First up is the Washington Capitals. The season series with [...]
The Bruins and the Canadiens play their sixth and final game of the regular season tonight, and the last two games have been quite memorable. You have Chara ramming/guiding/elbowing/brushing Max Pacioretty into a stanchion between the benches (with the word used to describe it differing based on your rooting interest) in the last game. [...]
It’s these guys again, and this time no Drew Stafford to save us, who’s nursing a groin injury and is out for the next game or two. Marc-Andre Gragnani gets the call this time instead of Luke Adam, who was sent down to Portland after Kaleta returned. Boston’s offense has come alive of late, [...]
Stafford upped his season goal total to 8 (in 16 games) as he single-handedly beat the Bruins last night at the Arena. Perhaps Stafford is going to sit out all of his bad games, and only play in his good games. Would be a nice change. Good job, Angry Eyebrows.
I love the [...]
I intentionally did not write this game up last night, in hopes that some distance would be good for the analysis, but honestly I’m just as angry now as I was after the first period. How you can play with so little passion, especially after giving up TWO short-handed goals? You can’t just keep [...]
Buffalo gets another crack at getting their first home win tonight when the Bruins visit, but it’s not going to be easy. Boston is 6-2, having only allowed 11 goals on the year. Tim Thomas is back in the saddle, with a ridiculous .50 GAA. Ryan Miller is questionable tonight with a ‘lower body [...]
We looked at the defensemen, so let’s follow that up with a look at the goalies of the Northeast division. The goaltender situation in the Northeast is interesting, with surprising changes (Halak out) and a whole mess of veterans running out of time to regain form. All stats are from last season.
10. Pascal [...]
Japers’ Rink has a list of the top 10 D-men in the Southeast, and I was curious about who we would have on a similar list here the Northeast, so I decided the best way to find out was to compile the list myself. All stats unless otherwise noted are for last season. I [...]
