The Sabres have made some moves. They usually do this time of year, especially since Pegula bought the team. The theme so far has been to get tougher. John Scott, a feared fighter (murdersaurus!) who will probably see limited action, was the first signing of FA for Buffalo. More intriguing is the trade, sending [...]
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 [...]
We all know what’s at stake for the Buffalo Sabres right now. Every point is important, being 2 back of Washington (also playing tonight). The improbable run Buffalo’s on (slightly more improbable than last year) is coming to a close, with only 8 more games left after tonight. The Sabres have gotten a lot [...]
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 a wild affair in Nashville, as the Sabres beat the Predators 3-2. Luke Adam, Zack Kassian and Tyler Ennis scored, but the real story will again be Miller getting flattened. This time, the team came to his aid like he owed them money, though Ryan tried to fight his own battle by punching [...]
It’s hard to know what to write about this team right now – that was a rough loss last game, but if Myers is going to score and go beast mode on guys, well, that I’m glad to see. Carolina sucks so hopefully Jhonas Enroth can rebound against them. Weber is hurt, TJ Brennan [...]
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 [...]
Yes, the team looked like crap much of the game. Yes, Miller whiffed on a few. And Yes, it was the Leafs, who I will ALWAYS hate losing to. At the end, it’s still one game. The Sabres are still solidly in their playoff position, and can improve their chance to hold on to [...]
It was a great (FANTASTIC) weekend for the Sabres, with them winning both games, including another shutout for Miller, and the Canes losing to push them 5 points back. New York and Montreal are both within reach, 2 points ahead. I don’t even want to talk about 5th place, with Tampa Bay going 1-2-2 in [...]
