Giving up 40+ shots isn’t how you want to win, but a strong performance from Jhonas Enroth allowed the Sabres to do just that last night. Vanek/Adam/Pominville continue to dominate, with Pommers scoring twice, Vanek assisting on 3, and Brad Boyes scoring again. There were penalties and giveaways, guys named Cody fighting, and a [...]
Which Sabres player will be the most-suspended? (in games)
Patrick Kaleta – a ‘repeat offender’ and a line walker. (75%, 6 Votes) Mike Weber – big, tough, not afraid to hit. (13%, 1 Votes) Robyn Regehr – same as Weber. (13%, 1 Votes) Tyler Myers – his elbows are right at [...]
The Sabres returned home from Philly with a split in the series, 1-1. Two one goal games, a cubic ass-load of penalties and one goalie switch already happening with Boucher getting the game 3 start after ‘Bob’ was chased. I like what Lindy said about the physical play, that he’d rather see the team [...]
…and throw in Connolly and Gaustad too. These guys came up huge for Buffalo tonight. The scoring forwards were quiet, but the tough guys and agitators did their work (though with a few too many penalties). However, they were also instrumental in killing those penalties, and when the shot got through, Miller was dynamite. [...]
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 Buffalo Sabres come into the All-Star break on a surprisingly good note, considering where they were even a few weeks ago. 8th place is in their reach, 6 points back with 3 games in hand on Atlanta, though before the year I’m certain most of us wouldn’t have pictured being happy about that [...]
Hey, I’m making a Flames joke after that game, OK? What utter crap. If there was any doubt that the Sabres are done for the year, I think it’s gone. Here is another game where they the opponent is supposedly just as bad, but the team didn’t show up. Miller wasn’t great, the power [...]
There were feeds to watch the non-televised game against the ducks on Tuesday, but the game didn’t matter for some very good reasons. The Sabres faced yet another backup goalie, and the Ducks were on game 5 in 7 days of a cross-country trip, so there was probably no way the starter was going [...]
We’ve got another Western conference foe in the building tonight, as LA is in town. They are coming off two straight losses, putting their road record to 4-4. Ryan Miller is likely to get both games, and Rivet is said to be making it back in the lineup (but not sure for who). Kaleta [...]
Another day, another chance at a home win. It won’t be any easier than beating Boston, however, as Miller may not play, and it’s the same crew of lackadaisical scrubs giving pucks away like candy on Halloween. I still feel they can stand in with any team in the league, but I won’t expect [...]
