Feeling Relevant

These were my thoughts as the NHL Trade Deadline coverage got rolling this morning.  Gaustad and Roy had both been involved in the rumors, so no huge surprise when that broke.  The return was surprising, even with the 4th rounder going the other way, but still, we knew he was the sort of guy [...]

Buffalo Sabres Official App

For the longest time, I used SportsTap to get scoring updates on Bills and Sabres games on my Android phone.  At some point, though, the Sabres games stopped working completely.  I could still view the score, but it wouldn’t alert.  Removed completely, reinstalled, no change.  I switched to Yahoo’s Sportacular, an oddly named and [...]

Gameday 2011-2012 – Stars at Sabres

It’s a game night tonight, and a good time to get back in the bloggin’ swing.  There’s actual positive stuff that’s happened, and I got to see some of it.  Even though I had to put up with NBC Sports Network and their love of the Bruins.  The Stars come to town tonight, and [...]

Beatings Literal and Figurative

The Buffalo Sabres beat the Boston Bruins.  Badly.  They tried two goalies, both of who allowed 3 goals.  The Bruins took a bunch of stupid penalties.  When they couldn’t solve Ryan Miller, they tried to get dirty.  That didn’t work, either.  Buffalo stood in and took the physical pounding, and won the game.  My positives:

Hitting the reset button

I’ve been quiet for a while, and for good reason.  Beyond hitting FNC for one of the viewing parties, an NBCSN game, and a grainy feed here and there, I haven’t seen the Sabres much at all in the past few weeks.  I don’t feel right commenting on the play of the team or [...]

Gameday 2011-2012 – Sabres at Hurricanes

We get Tyler Myers back tonight!  For a guy who had struggled as much as he did before getting hurt, I’m pretty excited to see him tonight.  Even when not scoring, he should be an upgrade in front of Miller.  In beating Edmonton last game, Buffalo FINALLY scored more than two goals, something they’d [...]

Duck Season

Much more exciting than the Sabres’ recent games, at least for fans, is the fact that the GM of the Ducks has declared their roster open for business, with only Selanne and Koivu off limits.  They’ve already tried a coaching change, and are still only 1 point away from being the worst team in [...]

Woo, I guess

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 [...]

Unwatchable Games

I am stuck with TWC in the short-term, so no more Sabres on TV for me beyond the Versu-er, NBC Sports Network games and the like.  I can’t even fill in my knowledge this month by being pressbox blogger guy as they are away for most of the games, and 2 of the 3 [...]
