I’m certainly not going to tell you not to react poorly when your favorite team plays poorly – it’s an understandable reaction. The short season makes every game feel important right from the get-go, so losing points hurts. Still, it’s worth looking at the big picture here. This season is one tenth over – [...]

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 [...] Tonight’s game is the biggest game of the Sabres’ season, since the last one. And until the next one. I actually started writing this last week, but never finished it, yet it still can be considered correct. One new positive is that the Sabres can now narrow their focus down to two teams, as [...] 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: Ville [...] 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 [...] The moderately disliked Ottawa Senators visit Buffalo tonight for a 7pm game against the Sabres. The Senators currently sit in 12th place in the East, though that’s only 2 points behind Buffalo. Ottawa has lost 3 straight games, giving up 14 goals in the process. Buffalo, of course, has been treading water of late, [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] Well, that was an interesting week. We see line shuffling, Miller chased in less than 7 minutes, Enroth holding the line for a comeback try, but ultimately still losing at home to the Flyers. Kaleta gets suspended 4 games, and Corey Tropp is up to take his spot in the lineup. Ready your Tropp-ic [...] |
