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 [...]

It feels like a really strange night tonight. The Devils don’t exactly excite anyone, and there’s so much other stuff happening around the Sabres it really feels like this game is an afterthought. They players are all answering questions about their injured goalie, the injured goalie is snarking at the media, and some of [...] We’ve all had fun with Lindy Ruff and the players and their constant use of ‘The System”. “We didn’t play the system tonight” or “We’ve got to get back to playing our system”. Now, with the goalie stuff going on, we have ‘The Schedule’. Which goalie is playing tonight? It’s Scheduled. Who does Ruff [...] The Sabres won last night, though it still wasn’t pretty and took overtime and stupid penalties by the Thrasherjets to do it. So it pretty much ‘solves’ nothing about the Miller/Enroth debate. As I was watching the game last night, I think I came up with a good analogy for what is happening. It’s [...] 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 [...] Hello, Mr. McCormick. You don’t know me, but I have a proposition for you. As you probably know by now, your agents recently made some politically-charged comments about gay marriage from the Twitter account that previously had only been used to tweet positive developments in the careers of their clients. Now, whether or not [...] 1pm game today at the hated Flyers. Been back in town for a few days, but no time to watch the previous games back on DVR. Glad they got points, not so glad about losing to Carolina. Two today would be HUGE but it’ll be tough. Gotta crash the net on these Philly goalies, [...] Just one of those Buffalo things, people will say. The Sabres have put together a solid run here, going 4-1-1 in the last 6. Vanek (3G 5A) and Stafford (5G 3A) each have 8 points during that time, and Gaustad/Gerbe/McCormick have been playing well for some secondary scoring. And yet, they are still 8 points out [...] What a snipe from Tyler Myers! After the puck rolled away from the defender, Myers picked the top corner of the net to end the game in the last minute of OT. The Tiny Tyler had a goal also, along with Cody McCormick and Steve Montador. This was one of the most entertaining games [...] |
