With the deadline tomorrow, and the deals already made, I’ve been talking to my friends about the Sabres more – who should go, who should stay to build around, that sort of thing. One thing that keeps coming up for a few of them is how Buffalo is not hard enough to play against [...]
The Sabres have made some moves. They usually do this time of year, especially since Pegula bought the team. The theme so far has been to get tougher. John Scott, a feared fighter (murdersaurus!) who will probably see limited action, was the first signing of FA for Buffalo. More intriguing is the trade, sending [...]
I didn’t see the comeback. The last one, I mean. When it went 5-3, I let my wife turn the game off. In my defense, my daughter was up sick with a horrible stuffy/snotty head so snuggling her was a bigger priority. So imagine my surprise when Jen switched the game back on for [...]
A west coast swing with late start times, just when we get a new toy to play with?? UGH. I can’t wait to see how Cody Hodgson does tonight, even if I might fall asleep by the third period. The first game with a new player is always fun, even if it sometimes goes [...]

Just what it says. Would you consider it [...]
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 [...]
It happened even faster than I figured, but Leino has taken over the top C spot with Pominville and Vanek, while Luke Adam gets put on the wing with Derek Roy and Drew Stafford. Still, it’s not a bad place to be, as Derek Roy is a point per game guy when healthy, and [...]
I still think a ‘Center’ sounds like a place to shop, whereas an Arena is for battle, but hey, you could see the writing on the wall with HSBC pulling away from the regular person banking business. Not sure how long it’s going to take for me to break out of the ‘heading down [...]
Let’s play a game. I’ll give you the stats for several centers in the league, and you tell me which ones are ‘number one’ centers. Ready, GO:
Player A: 28G, 49A for 77 points, 1.07 points/game in 2010/2011. 24G, 57A for 91 points, 1.14 P/G in 2009/2010. Player B: 24G, 58A for 82 points, [...]
With a little distance from the Sabres’ playoff elimination, it’s time to look at what players are must-keep for next year, and who can go. Things are changed, with the Pegula era entering it’s first offseason. We don’t know how trades are going to go, if he wants an RFA, whether he truly likes [...]
