It’s been a tough start for Buffalo, despite starting the season by winning the first two games. Thomas Vanek, however, has been hot from the start and has shown no signs of cooling. He’s got 19 points in just 8 games (he missed one), and has never looked more dominant. He’s being ably assisted [...]

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 [...] 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 [...] 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’s going to be quite a night at the FNC tonight. Dale Hawerchuk and Rick Jeanneret will be inducted into the Sabres Hall of Fame (hey, that means they get swords right? COOL). The newfangled Thrasher-Jets are in town for the first time, and we are all waiting impatiently to see which goalie gets [...] The Sabres play the Lightning again tonight, at home this time after getting their hats handed to them by the same team on the road. Tyler Ennis cut his hair and got hurt…coincidence? I think not. Anyway, it does leave Buffalo an interesting option – move Ville Leino to the wing and play Hecht at [...] Playing with the Cap Calculator at Capgeek (too much fun), I’ve worked out this roster possibility. I’ll post new ones as the Sabres make more moves, or the real cost of an RFA contract becomes known. I gave everyone that I brought on a bit of an upgrade in salary, seems like what usually [...] 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 [...] Tyler Ennis did what he was supposed to do. He went to the net, created traffic, but unfortunately instead of deflecting a goal in, he stopped it. Of course, some still think it went in, but doesn’t show as such because of the angle of the camera above the net. Until we have cameras [...] Yes, I think it’s time to look at who has value to ‘sell’, after that effort this weekend. There is still time to recover, but it’s growing short. 49 games left, but only 30 points in the standings in the first 33. It took 88 to make 8th last year in the East, but [...] |
What IS a blockbuster trade?
