Happy New Year everyone!!! Congratulations to a playoff-bound Kyle Williams and the Buffalo Bills!!! Not much more needs to be said as Western New York savors a taste of the NFL playoffs for the first time since 1999. Kinda makes me wanna "Shout!" Buffalo's projected lineup for this after...
Is there anything better than Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams having his moment in the sun? The 12 yr. Bills vet had been a beacon of professionalism throughout Buffalo's long, 17-year playoff drought which finally ended on New Years Eve with a Buffalo win and a Cincinnati Bengals up...
The last time the IIHF World Junior Championships were held in Buffalo, NY, Russia defeated Canada for the gold medal and the U.S. defeated Sweden 4-2 for the bronze. Since then the Americans and Swedes have met twice in the medal rounds--in 2013 the U.S. beat Sweden for the gold medal in Ufa, Russi...
For Team USA and Buffalo Sabres fans, it was about as bad as it gets yesterday as the Americans got swamped 4-2 in their IIHF World Junior Championships semi-final game versus Team Sweden, and in the main bought, the Sabres got smoked by the Minnesota Wild 6-2. And in both instances it wasn't as clo...
10-22-9 Such is the Buffalo Sabres record at the half-way point of the 2017-18 season. The 2018 portion of the schedule began with a 3-2 overtime loss in the New Year's Day Winter Classic followed by one of their most atrocious efforts of the season in a 6-2 loss at Minnesota vs. the Wild. Last n...
The Buffalo Bills' first playoff game in 18 years is the main event for Buffalo sports fans today. Plain and simple. Whether you find yourself in a sports bar or at home, it's full audio with the Bills on the big screen while the Buffalo Sabres relegated to silent minor screens and/or smaller electr...
It was a football game they could have, and probably should have, won yesterday. The Buffalo Bills held the Jacksonville Jaguars to 10 points in the AFC Wild Card game but could only manage a field goal from their offense. It was a game featuring two inept quarterbacks with one of them not named Tyr...
Defenseman Tyler Myers was selected by the Buffalo Sabres 12th-overall in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. And here's a little side story to how that selection came to be. The Los Angeles Kings had the 12th pick in the draft that year, the Sabres had the 13th. Both were looking for defensemen and the tw...
The Sabres announced today that they'll be wearing the Winter Classic-style jerseys three more times this season: --Thursday, Feb. 8 against the New York Islanders --Monday, Feb. 19 against the Washington Capitals --Wednesday, April 4 against the Ottawa Senators (Fan Appreciation Night) Sa...
The Buffalo Sabres will have their bye-week beginning tomorrow. The collectively bargained five-day break means the Sabres will be off until they travel to The Big Apple to face off against the New York Rangers in Madison Square Gardens on January 18. And God knows, this team needs a break. Buffa...
There were a lot of good things to take away from last night's 3-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. First and foremost, it stopped a five game winless streak for the Buffalo Sabres (0-4-1,) which was their third such streak of five or more games (one was six) on the season and it sent them into t...
Prospect Brendan Guhle has played two games for the Buffalo Sabres this season and, similar to his three-game call-up from junior last season, hasn't looked out of place at all. Granted, the five game sample is too small to designate him a top-four defenseman for the Sabres, but he has the look of a...
The NHL traded deadline is February 26, but with their fate pretty much sealed for this season, a bottom-dweller like the Buffalo Sabres has had ongoing trade talks for weeks with GM Jason Botterill reportedly fielding calls from numerous contending teams. Buffalo's big trade chip is winger Evan...
Sure, the Buffalo Sabres entered their bye week with a 3-1 win over a very good Columbus Blue Jackets team. As a refresher, the Sabres pumped 15 shots on net in the first period against the Jackets and headed into intermission with a 1-0 lead. Columbus gathered their druthers and began to right the...
If it seems like it's been a long time between games for the Buffalo Sabres, it has. Buffalo has been on their bye week since a 3-1 win vs. Columbus last Thursday and based upon what we've been seeing within the last few threads, hockey's return in Sabreland couldn't come soon enough. For as bad as...
The 30th place Buffalo Sabres came out of their league mandated hockey hiatus with a game against the NY Rangers at Madison Square Garden last night. Bright lights, big city, and a Rangers team trying to turn things around before they head out West for a four-game road-trip prior to the All-Star bre...
Sure is. The Buffalo Sabres are hosting the Dallas Stars at 1 pm today and it's a game they have a good chance of winning. Despite the huge disparity in points (Dallas-56 and Buffalo-31) and the Sabres lackluster 3-7-0 record vs. Dallas in their last 10, Buffalo is 7-2-1 vs. the Stars at home. Durin...
It just can't happen. You just can't allow what happened Saturday afternoon to be swept under the rug as part of some learning process. Nor can you fully lay the blame at the talent-level of this team. Being outclassed by a fast Dallas Stars team is one thing, letting the game fall apart after worki...
The Buffalo Sabres 7-1 loss on Saturday coupled with the Arizona Coyotes 5-2 win puts both teams at 31 points, right at the bottom of the 31-team league. All is not lost for Sabres fans, however, as Buffalo still has two games in hand over Arizona, but it's still a sad state of affairs. How ironic t...
For one game it looked as if Buffalo Sabres coach Phil Housley's message got through to his players. After a thoroughly embarrassing 7-1 loss at the hands of the Dallas Stars on Saturday afternoon, Housley was said to have put his players through a hard skate on Sunday while also drastically changin...
With their 5-0 blowout win in Edmonton last night against the Oilers, the Buffalo Sabres have now won two in a row and three of their last five games but maybe more importantly, they look like a real good hockey team right now. The Oilers, Calgary Flames and Columbus Blue Jackets, Buffalo's victi...
Who are these guys? The Buffalo Sabres spent their time before the All-Star break romping through western Canada leaving many, especially those of us who've been following them closely, asking that same question. Prior to the trip, the Sabres were 11-26-9, tied for last place in the entire le...
If Jack Eichel continues to up his game like he has over his short career thus far, he should be a perennial NHL All-Star for years to come. As of now, Eichel's point/game pace (49 points in 49 games) has him ahead of where he was last year (.93 ppg) and is far above his rookie season of .69 ppg. Wi...
For the first time all season the Buffalo Sabres won three games in a row and in the process seemed to have found themselves. It took a lot of poor play and a multitude of blowout losses, including a 7-1 embarrassment versus the Dallas Stars just prior to their three-game winning streak, but somethi...
After going through a terrible health scare last April and spending months trying to get back to his former self, Buffalo Sabres right winger Kyle Okposo looks as if he's finally gotten his feet under him. Okposo put together a three-game point-streak (1g +3a) bridging the calendar year then went s...
