Okay, nice headline, nerd. I missed the later goal when my wife came home after the second period, but I just can’t get too worked up over this loss. Miller played better, which was my main concern. There needs to be some more scoring. They didn’t take many shots, and when they did, [...] The Sabres split the weekend, shutting out the Canes 1-0, while losing to the Coyotes 4-2. Other than suffering the ignominy of allowing Biz Nasty to score, the worst news came in the third period on Saturday, when Tyler Myers didn’t return to the ice. He’s got an ‘upper body injury’ that we should [...] 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 [...] There’s a lull in the schedule, following the loss on Tuesday, so here are some random thoughts. Tim Connolly played…well? Has had a few games. This would be huge if it continues, so Buffalo can keep Boyes on the wing. Where is Jordan Leopold? Might be better on D but we could use his [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] I talked about Jordan Leopold when he signed here, and said basically if he wasn’t a liability out there and notched 8 to 10 goals, he’d be a solid pickup. Well, it’s safe to say he’s exceeded expectations there. He’s got 7 goals and 9 assists, which is third in points on the Sabres [...] I was camping this weekend, so I didn’t get to see any hockey or football, so I have no specific insight into any of the games. Looking at the results, I am very happy Buffalo was able to beat the Senators, which is really the only thing I wanted out of the weekend. Very [...] Didn’t end up getting to see this, but I didn’t want it to pass without comment. The big three for the Sabres (Miller, Vanek, Myers) sat this one out, among others, while the Maple Leafs iced what amounts to their regular season lineup. Nathan Gerbe scored twice, including one on a penalty shot, while [...] |
What IS a blockbuster trade?
