It wasn’t always pretty, but the Buffalo Sabres pulled away from the Philadelphia Flyers and won 5-2 today at First Niagara Center. Thomas Vanek was in on every goal, scoring 2 of them, and Steve Ott scored in his first game. Tyler Myers and Cody Hodgson had the other tallies. It felt like Buffalo [...] 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 [...] Seems like the Sabres won last night. They even got some secondary scoring from Gerbe and Stafford. Huh. Wish I had seen it. In the battle of two banged-up teams, the one that hadn’t travelled from Long Island to Chicago to Buffalo for 3 in 4 won. Amazing. It would be just like this [...] 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 [...] There used to be a vocal minority of Miller detractors, and one of their favorite songs to sing was “Miller never steals games!”. And while the rest of us know that this isn’t the first game he’s stolen, it’s one of the most obvious. The Sabres slept-walked through the first and most of the [...] Well, this had to be one of the most interesting Sabres seasons in recent memory. Buffalo started the season with a whimper, losing at a pace that had more of us thinking draft lottery than playoffs. The first hints of Terry Pegula gave a vague hope for the future, but we didn’t know anything [...] The Sabres returned home from Philly with a split in the series, 1-1. Two one goal games, a cubic ass-load of penalties and one goalie switch already happening with Boucher getting the game 3 start after ‘Bob’ was chased. I like what Lindy said about the physical play, that he’d rather see the team [...] There’s a history in this matchup, no question, whether it’s the 75 Stanley Cup finals, the 06 playoffs (can still hear RJ’s call of the Umberger hit to this day), and Philly and Buffalo look to add another chapter this week when they meet in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Aside [...] Yes, the team looked like crap much of the game. Yes, Miller whiffed on a few. And Yes, it was the Leafs, who I will ALWAYS hate losing to. At the end, it’s still one game. The Sabres are still solidly in their playoff position, and can improve their chance to hold on to [...] |
