The Buffalo Sabres didn’t make the playoffs. They traded their captain away. Ryan Miller is selling his townhouse. We’re booing too much. It’s a tough life, being a Buffalo sports fan, and I’m not even going into the hand-wringing over what the Bills are doing in the draft. It seems like forever since we [...]

The Sabres traded away their captain yesterday. Jason Pominville was a completely inoffensive, very solid player. He said the right things, to a fault. He played hard, he produced at a decent rate. He provided us with one of, if not THE most exciting moment for the franchise since the lockout, the short-handed OT [...] Just a few things I saw that might help the Bruins after last night’s game: The opposing team’s best offensive player should probably be covered. You may even want to shove him around a bit when he’s parked in front of the net on a power play. Tuukka Rask’s default move when a goal-scorer is [...] You know, I’m dreading this game. Not because Buffalo has sucked since game 3 of the season. Not because we’ll get a hundred and fifty Miller/Lucic references. Because it won’t live up to the hype. They almost never do, these ‘team toughness’ statement games. Oh, Lucic might fight somebody, John Scott may terrorize some [...] I am blogging from the press box tonight, so this post will be updated after each period (and maybe once or twice before the game) with my thoughts as I have them. Pre-game thoughts: Grigorenko stays. It makes the most sense. He hasn’t been out of place, and it isn’t like he’s keeping somebody [...] It’s been a whirlwind to start the season, with games packed in together right from the start after a very short camp. It went well for the Sabres, though, with two wins in two tries, and some worries relieved about the situation at center. Buffalo had a day off yesterday, so too should we [...] 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 [...] This is, frankly, amazing to me. I AGAIN wrote this team off completely, still cheering for them, but kind of hoping they’d get an awesome draft pick and clean house. They made some solid deadline moves, pulling in a great player for the future, getting another 1st round pick, and so on. How could [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] |
What IS a blockbuster trade?
