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 [...]

A west coast swing with late start times, just when we get a new toy to play with?? UGH. I can’t wait to see how Cody Hodgson does tonight, even if I might fall asleep by the third period. The first game with a new player is always fun, even if it sometimes goes [...] These were my thoughts as the NHL Trade Deadline coverage got rolling this morning. Gaustad and Roy had both been involved in the rumors, so no huge surprise when that broke. The return was surprising, even with the 4th rounder going the other way, but still, we knew he was the sort of guy [...] 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 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 [...] We’ve all had fun with Lindy Ruff and the players and their constant use of ‘The System”. “We didn’t play the system tonight” or “We’ve got to get back to playing our system”. Now, with the goalie stuff going on, we have ‘The Schedule’. Which goalie is playing tonight? It’s Scheduled. Who does Ruff [...] 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 [...] Thanks to Chris Pronger nearly getting his eye popped out of it’s socket, the mandatory visor debate has started up again full force. Fighting always gets lumped into this argument at some point, since fighting with a visor is considered by many as unseemly. You can have the pugilists doff their caps before the [...] 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 [...] It wasn’t pretty, but the Sabres got the win last night against the Carolina Hurricanes 3-1. Gaustad and Gerbe scored in the third to take the lead and assisted on the other two goals, and Kaleta added an empty netter to seal it. Brandon Sutter was your Canes goal scorer. It definitely looked like [...] |
What IS a blockbuster trade?
