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 [...]

I didn’t see the comeback. The last one, I mean. When it went 5-3, I let my wife turn the game off. In my defense, my daughter was up sick with a horrible stuffy/snotty head so snuggling her was a bigger priority. So imagine my surprise when Jen switched the game back on for [...] 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 [...] Are the Sabres really as good as they looked last night? Did getting two NHL players back in the lineup (even ones derided as much as Boyes) make that much of a difference? Or were the Capitals really playing that poorly? I’m inclined to think the latter, and I only heard the first period [...] I’ll admit it, I quit watching this game after the second period, listening to it in the background. I picked it back up partway through the third, just in time to see Stafford tie it. This game went from an easy win for Buffalo after the first, even if they give up that late [...] 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 [...] As in, the future is bright, man. I watched a good portion of the Traverse City Tournament championship game that the Sabres prospects played in last night, which they won 5-2. The most amazing thing to me, despite the Rangers-centric broadcast, is how much praise the Sabres were getting. Our boys were being treated [...] Well, this had to be one of the most interesting Sabres seasons in recent memory. Buffalo started the season with a whimper, losing at a pace that had more of us thinking draft lottery than playoffs. The first hints of Terry Pegula gave a vague hope for the future, but we didn’t know anything [...] I freely admit I dozed off last night, when Canada was up 3-0 and looked to be in complete control. I stirred for a few minutes, saw them still leading 3-2, and went back to sleep. My wife came home from work and changed the channel to Top Chef (BARF) so imagine my surprise [...] No, this is not a panic button post, but more the other team in town getting me thinking: Should Buffalo target next year as the year to make a cup run? There are some good reasons why they should: Connolly, Niedermayer, Grier, and McCormick off the books – should open some top 6 minutes [...] |
