Whether Jarome Iginla pulled a kind of “Bourque” is up for debate but he is now a Pittsburgh Penguin. His VISA will keep him from playing until early next week but his impact will be noticeable in fantasy circles, one way or the other. This week on our DraftKings column, we lightly touch on the upcoming NHL Trade Deadline, ...
The short-term actions of the Buffalo Sabres will have significant long-term ramifications for the future of the franchise. In typical Sabres fashion, the team has won three games in a row to give fans just enough hope to not lose faith in the season. The squad’s performance over the next five games may play a ...
The Buffalo Sabres had their best week of the season as they posted three straight wins, two over the division-leading Montreal Canadiens, and one over the, currently playoff bound, Toronto Maple Leafs. But the week didn’t start well for the Buffalo Sabres with a little war of words between Sabres goalie Ryan Miller and Patrick ...
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.

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). However damning the current state of the franchise ...

Every season, there are players who receive more ice time than they deserve, while some high-prized free agents never deliver the results expected by the general manager who signed them. Nearly halfway into the 48-game season that was ...
Even with their third-straight loss on March 7 against the New Jersey Devils, the Buffalo Sabres have to be happy with their recent results in the Ron Rolston era. 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 ...
