It feels like a really strange night tonight. The Devils don’t exactly excite anyone, and there’s so much other stuff happening around the Sabres it really feels like this game is an afterthought. They players are all answering questions about their injured goalie, the injured goalie is snarking at the media, and some of [...]

The Sabres backup goalie is Drew McIntyre. If you are like me, you had to look him up to get the details, which include a grand total of 2 NHL appearances since being drafted in 2001. He’s had some solid years but has never made the jump. Ryan Miller has his second concussion in [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] Buffalo played Jhonas Enroth in both back to back games this weekend, and won both by one goal. It certainly won’t mute the vocal minority who are now thinking that maybe Enroth should be the one to get 50-60 games this year. I don’t think that’s what is happening here, Ruff is giving Ryan [...] 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 [...] (hey, if they are going to blame calls for Enroth on blogs, might as well make it official!) Your feelings on Jhonas Enroth: I think he’s good in small doses (62%, 8 Votes) I truly, honestly, deeply feel he’s better than Miller (31%, 4 Votes) I like messing with people so I always advocate for the backup (8%, 1 Votes) Total Voters: 13 Loading … Meant to be tongue-in-cheek, as we all know Miller is the guy. Just curious. The Columbus Blue Jackets come in for a visit tonight at the First Niagara Center, coming off their first win of the season. It was the first game back for James Wisniewski after his long suspension from the Shan-hammer. The Sabres, of course, are still looking for their first win at the FNC, but [...] Despite the quick start, last night’s tilt against the Lightning turned into the typical tough loss. A couple of goals against off your own defenseman’s skate, a couple of other guys have a rough outing, and the end result is a 4-3 loss. Vanek and Boyes opened the scoring early, and Gerbe made it [...] |
