The extremely short training camp is on for your Buffalo Sabres, and as it begins, there are five players I’m going to be watching with interest: Mikhail Grigorenko – We may not see for more than a few games this season, thanks to junior eligibility, but he’s a big-time player at a position of [...] The Sabres can no longer make the playoffs, and have one more meaningless game. In the short term, I was ticked about it last night, but today, not so much. It was a very difficult season in many ways, with injuries, underachievement, and media sniping. The highs were really high, and the lows were rock-bottom. We saw [...] 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 [...] Getting set up in the pressbox for tonight’s visit from Martin Biron and the New York Rangers. It’s the Sabres’ first game against the Rangers, and Jhonas Enroth gets the call after Miller played in the win last night. Leino comes back from his suspension, but Hecht (‘lower body’) and Corey Tropp (concussion) are [...] These guys again. I was in the pressbox for the last home game against Florida, and that didn’t go so well. It will be hard to say what the game will look like tonight, as the Sabres’ lineup is a disjointed mess of guys getting injured (Gerbe), guys returning (Commander Cody, maybe some others this [...] It’s hard to know what to write about this team right now – that was a rough loss last game, but if Myers is going to score and go beast mode on guys, well, that I’m glad to see. Carolina sucks so hopefully Jhonas Enroth can rebound against them. Weber is hurt, TJ Brennan [...] 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 [...] The Sabres backup goalie is Drew McIntyre. If you are like me, you had to look him up to get the details, which include a grand total of 2 NHL appearances since being drafted in 2001. He’s had some solid years but has never made the jump. Ryan Miller has his second concussion in [...] The plot, it does thicken. After a resounding win over the Senators, Buffalo went to Boston and let the Bruins run roughshod over them (literally). A lot has already been said about Lucic and Miller and responses. I think Nick Mendola summed up the immediate reaction best for me: The Sabres immediate response to [...] 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 [...] |
