The month of October was a pretty rough month for the Buffalo Sabres as their 3-7-2 record would indicate. For a bit of perspective, the Sabres also had three wins in October last season without Jack Eichel and Evander Kane, amongst others, but they only played eight games that month because the Wor...
It's not an annual occurrence by any means, but neither is it rare when the Buffalo Bills and the Buffalo Sabres have games on the same night. The Bills are on national TV with a big game at the Meadowlands in New Jersey against the NY Jets while the Sabres are headed to the desert to take on the Ar...
The Buffalo Sabres started out the season with one forward line rolling and the rest non-existent. The line of Jack Eichel centering left wing Evander Kane and right wing Jason Pominville did all the scoring in the first four games. Granted some of the goals were scored on the powerplay, and Kane wa...
The injuries to the Buffalo Sabres defense just keep coming. A mere one game after the Sabres got one of their defenseman back, another went down. Justin Falk had been sidelined the entire season with a lower body injury until he returned to the lineup on Thursday in Arizona. The 6'5" 223 lb. vet...
This is the first go-round as an NHL head coach for Phil Housley. A Hockey Hall of Famer as a player, Housley began his coaching career in Stillwater, Minnesota, which is a stone's throw away from where he was born in St. Paul. The other time he was the head man behind the bench was in 2013 coaching...
After the Buffalo Sabres were drubbed in a 5-1 loss at Dallas on Saturday night, head coach Phil Housley said that his team got "the start they wanted" against the Stars, but were unhinged by "a couple of bad bounces." He would go on to say that he thought his team "played well" even though "the sco...
Just the facts, ma'am. From Buffalo Sabres PR: Washington Capitals--8-6-1 overall; 5-3-1 on the road Buffalo Sabres--4-8-2 overall; 1-3-1 at home The Capitals are 4-1-0 in their last five games and are undefeated in their last three. Buffalo is 2-3-0 in their last five. Washington...
If anyone can figure out what the future holds for this edition of the Buffalo Sabres, God love ya. It's been rough and rocky travelling thus far with the gamut of emotions in Sabreland leaning heavily towards the negative side so far. Mostly we've been subject to an on-ice product leaving us somewh...
Just the facts, ma'am. Buffalo record: 5-8-2 (12 points) Florida record: 4-8-2 (10 points) The Sabres are 3-6-1 in their last 10 games vs. the Florida Panthers, according to Sabres PR, and have the exact same 3-6-1 at home in their last 10 vs. the Cats. In 2015-16 Florida finished wit...
Much respect and gratitude to all veterans. This is your day. Thank you for your service. And congratulations to former Sabre Dave Andreychuk. Your Hockey Hall of Fame ring was well deserved and long overdue. The Buffalo Sabres are coming off of a 4-1 loss at the hands of the Florida Panthe...
The Sabres are spinning their wheels and just can't seem to get out of the muck. Sure, there are injuries, especially on defense with Rasmus Ristolainen sidelined the last four games, but scoring has been the real problem with this team as of late. Buffalo has scored just one goal in three of their...
“That’s my job, my job is to produce and I haven’t produced in the fashion I would’ve liked in the beginning of the year.”--Sabres center, Jack Eichel after practice yesterday. Such is the case for Buffalo's franchise center. In fact not only has he been in a bit of a scoring slump, t...
Plus, why Brendan Guhle is still in Rochester with all the Sabres injuries on defense.
The Buffalo Sabres said goodbye to Joe Louis Arena in Detroit last season with a 2-1 victory over the Red Wings. "The Joe" had been the Red Wings home since 1979, three years before owner Mike Ilitch took over the franchise. The arena was home to the last vestiges of "The Dead Wings Era" and welcome...
Although it wasn't on the scale of the back-to-back shellackings this edition of the Buffalo Sabres were handed back in October, last night's 3-1 loss in Detroit at the hands of the Red Wings turned out to be a real dud none-the-less. Buffalo had five shots on goal mid-way through the first period b...
The Buffalo Sabres are in a rut that they just can seem to get out of. Last night's 3-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes puts their losing streak at five in a row (0-3-2) and their lone tally against Carolina means that they've only managed one goal in four of their last six games. The litany of e...
He's the team's second-leading scorer, a soon-to-be $10 million man and the face of the Buffalo Sabres franchise, yet Jack Eichel found himself in an unfamiliar spot today. According to reports from the KeyBank ice this morning, Sabres bench boss Phil Housley sent Eichel to the third line at practic...
The 5-12-4 record says it all and the attendance figures at KeyBank Center lately (announced attendance for the last game was 16,551 but looked like a lot less) back up the notion that the product on the ice in Buffalo isn't really that good. So much for the Captain Obvious moment. The reasons...
A belated Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Hope you all enjoyed warmth, happiness and great food amongst family and friends yesterday with a bow to the heavens for the blessings bestowed upon us. The Buffalo Sabres take on the Edmonton Oilers tonight at KeyBank Center and enter the game reeling...
Buffalo Sabres head coach Phil Housley didn't ride his team after they were shut out by the Montreal Canadiens last night, 3-0. Nor should they have been taken to task. Housley's Sabres played well for most of the game, at times clearly dominating play and puck possession. However, that's not quite...
The Buffalo Sabres blueline has been ravaged by injuries so far this season. But they're getting healthier. During the first quarter of the season for Buffalo, players came and players went and one of them, Zach Bogosian, still hasn't hit ice for a game. The Sabres have dressed nine defenseman th...
Matt Moulson would probably be the first to admit that things haven't gone exactly as planned since signing with the Sabres as a free agent in 2014. Moulson signed a 5-yr/$25 million contract with Buffalo that off season and proceeded to score 13 goals and 41 points in the 2014-15 season. It was a p...
The Buffalo Sabres lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning last night 2-0 in a game where they held the high-scoring Lightning in check for the most part. However, no matter how well you defend, if you do not score a goal, you're not going to win. Such is the dilemma that has this Sabres team in losing two...
The Buffalo Sabres didn't do much scoring this November as they only scored 26 goals or an average of two per game which made for a pretty easy month compiling stats. Once again, Evander Kane topped Buffalo scorers with 11 points. Kane's six goals lead the team for the month, matching his total f...
