It is finally official, the Buffalo Sabres disappointing season is over. The club gave the fans a little bit to cheer about going down the stretch as they finished 8-4 in the month of April, yet it was their poor performances in the other months of the season that did them in. The Sabres final ...
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 ...
With quarrels among teammates, management uncertainty and a spot near the bottom of the standings, there have certainly been Better Days (please excuse the Goo Goo Dolls reference) in the place known as Hockey Heaven (which now seems more like a Purgatory for the games cast offs and under performers).

Nearly halfway into the 48-game season that was ...

Since Rolston took over behind the bench for the Feb. 21 game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Sabres have gone 3-3-0-2. While this is not ...
