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 [...]

It’s been a tough start for Buffalo, despite starting the season by winning the first two games. Thomas Vanek, however, has been hot from the start and has shown no signs of cooling. He’s got 19 points in just 8 games (he missed one), and has never looked more dominant. He’s being ably assisted [...] 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 [...] 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 – [...] 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 [...] It wasn’t always pretty, but the Buffalo Sabres pulled away from the Philadelphia Flyers and won 5-2 today at First Niagara Center. Thomas Vanek was in on every goal, scoring 2 of them, and Steve Ott scored in his first game. Tyler Myers and Cody Hodgson had the other tallies. It felt like Buffalo [...] 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 [...] It’s a game night tonight, and a good time to get back in the bloggin’ swing. There’s actual positive stuff that’s happened, and I got to see some of it. Even though I had to put up with NBC Sports Network and their love of the Bruins. The Stars come to town tonight, and [...] Much more exciting than the Sabres’ recent games, at least for fans, is the fact that the GM of the Ducks has declared their roster open for business, with only Selanne and Koivu off limits. They’ve already tried a coaching change, and are still only 1 point away from being the worst team in [...] Getting set up in the pressbox for tonight’s visit from Martin Biron and the New York Rangers. It’s the Sabres’ first game against the Rangers, and Jhonas Enroth gets the call after Miller played in the win last night. Leino comes back from his suspension, but Hecht (‘lower body’) and Corey Tropp (concussion) are [...] |
