It’s that time of year again, where the little jinxes and superstitions you have about watching hockey intensify right along with the importance of the games. You saw it last night with Jeremy White’s successful petition to get the Sabres to at least try a different goal song…and then not score at all. Maybe [...]

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 [...] You’re still smiling about last night’s game, admit it. Nerves to start, especially after Atlanta tied it, but Terry Pegula got his first win. The Thrashers are a team the Sabres should beat, one that was struggling as much if not moreso than Buffalo the past few games, and they took care of business. [...] It doesn’t get much more exciting than that, does it? Enroth weathers a storm as the Sabres give up 18 shots in the first period, with Stafford and and Pominville scoring to tie the game up and send it to a shootout. And what a shootout it was, 10 rounds, and coming back from [...] So, the Sabres scored 6 goals against the Islanders, and lost. Ryan Miller had a post-game meltdownafter a question from noted feces enthusiast John Vogl. A bad question, a worse answer after a horrible game. Buffalo is still in the driver’s seat as far as taking a playoff spot, but Ryan’s issues, whether mental, [...] The Sabres recovered from a bad start (and a few tough goals given up by Miller) to roll over Dwayne Roloson and the Lightning 7-4. Drew Stafford notched a hat trick, Vanek scored twice, and Jordan Leopold and Tim Connolly had the other goals. Mike Weber and Tyler Ennis both had 2 assists. A [...] The Buffalo Sabres come into the All-Star break on a surprisingly good note, considering where they were even a few weeks ago. 8th place is in their reach, 6 points back with 3 games in hand on Atlanta, though before the year I’m certain most of us wouldn’t have pictured being happy about that [...] 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, [...] 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 [...] Really, you just can’t know how a team, any team, will respond to an injury to a key player. Many of us wrote off the season after Roy got hurt (myself included), but all the Sabres have done since then is go on a run. Since the 5-2 loss in Calgary, Buffalo has gone [...] |
