Their 15 game win streak was snapped by…the Buffalo Sabres? The first full game missed by Sidney Crosby since breaking his jaw, and the Pens can’t get the W. Coincidence? Crosby’s still leading the NHL in points with 56, and though he’s out indefinitely, he could have captured the Hart AND the Art Ross. Both ...
I don’t have a crystal ball that shows what will happen at the end of June. I don’t have a flying Delorean to see who’ll be on the links earlier than expected. I do have, however, have gut feelings. Rarely are they incorrect, some of the time they could be just hunger, but most of ...
With the trade deadline fast approaching, some of the only positives on this sad Sabres 2013 season may be on the market. Hot players for hot draft picks. But considering how Buffalo is at the near-bottom of the league (not even just the conference, the league), they may have some high draft picks of their own. Hopefully Darcy Regier won’t let those go in the process of possibly letting go of some of his forwards.
Last place in the rough North East Division. In the past five years, they’ve made the playoffs twice, only to lose in the first round. Come the NHL Trade Deadline on April 3rd, after another dismal season with one of the worst goals against per game in the league, the Sabres will most certainly be ...
Following the dark times of the lockout, teams could spend up to $70.2-million on their bench. Let’s just put this into perspective. With that $70-million, teams could each buy: a 300-foot mega yacht, five of Brad Pitt’s Malibu beach house, or 35 million Kit Kat bars. Instead, they blew their dollars on these guys, who ...
Well, at least he’ll be in the playoffs. Mikhail Grigorenko could play for the Quebec Ramparts in their last game of the regular season on St. Patrick’s Day, after being sent down by Ron Rolston & Co. on Friday. Prior to the lockout this season, Grigorenko honed his skills in Quebec City, with 50 points ...
As part two of last week’s article, If We Had An NHL All-Star Game – Team East, we continue picking the roster of the game we never had. If we were playing some pick-up road ball in the street in between periods on TV, these are the guys you’d want on your team. They’d be team ...
For the third offence of his career, Patrick Kaleta has been suspended five games without pay after his hit on Brad Richards on Sunday at Madison Square Garden. This is the maximum punishment for a player with a telephone disciplinary hearing. Kaleta was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for the hit from behind. ...
A nice break for the players, some trials and competitions for the world’s best, and a showcase of a hockey that has a final score similar to a lacrosse game. All-Star Weekend was intended to take place in Columbus this year (just one more thing they’ve lost), but thanks to Bettman and Fehr, the closest ...
With Ron Rolston up to replace Lindy Ruff from the AHL, the Sabres’ new coach explained in interviews with the press that there was no longer any room for shortcuts. Buffalo is the only team in the Northeast not in current playoff standings; this coaching change could propose a new, clean slate. An energy boost ...
