I'm a die-hard Buffalo Sabres fan living in the heart of Maple Leaf, Canadien and Senator Country. While I don't get to make it to many Sabres home games, I follow all things Buffalo at a distance. I eat, sleep and breathe hockey (just ask my sons, Bauer and Calder). I look forward to sharing my thoughts and opinions and maybe cheering for a winner one day.

Sabres' Colin Miller Can Be A Difference-Maker
June 29th, 2019 Buffalo Sabres general manager Jason Botterill is not a firm believer in kicking off the weekend early. While most were just putting their feet up and cracking open a beverage on the deck, Botterill was putting the finishing touches on his first big move since the season ended. The Sabres acquired Colin Miller from the Vegas...
Sabres Add Stability with Ryan Johnson
June 26th, 2019 It was a pick many in the hockey universe didn't think would be made. With the myriad of needs on the Sabres' roster, it seemed that the 31st pick of the 2019 NHL Draft would be used to bolster today's squad.
