May 22nd, 2014 While most attention in Buffalo Sabres-land has turned to who the team will pick with the second overall selection at the NHL Draft, June 27-28 in Philadelphia, many forget that some Sabres’ players are still in action playing for their countries at the IIHF World Hockey Championships in Belarus.

5 Questions The Buffalo Sabres Need To Answer

March 30th, 2014 It isn’t easy being a fan of the Buffalo Sabres these days.
