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' 2019-20 Analytics Autopsy: Forwards
June 5th, 2020 Now that another Buffalo Sabres season is finished - and mercifully so - many are now conducting an autopsy of the past few months. To be sure, there was certainly more bad than good. Extending your franchise record non-playoff streak to nine seasons at a time when over 77 percent of teams made the postseason (not a typo), is something...
Buffalo Sabres Jersey History
May 30th, 2020 The Buffalo Sabres just can’t catch a break. Despite making the playoffs in 20 of their first 25 seasons, the Sabres only made it past the second round twice in that span, falling short of the Stanley Cup on both occasions.

Sabres' First and Second-Round Draft Targets
May 11th, 2020 With the NHL draft being mere days (weeks, months... who really knows at this point) away, teams are no doubt ramping up their virtual draft prep. Although the Buffalo Sabres should really look to trade their first-round pick for help right now, it appears unlikely that teams will be trading before the draft. The Sabres currently hold...
Sabres Survive Senators in Overtime - Reliving the May 5, 2006 Classic
May 5th, 2020 The 2005-06 season was a very memorable one for Buffalo Sabres fans. Coming out of the NHL lockout, the team was not expected to accomplish much with a low payroll and the second-lowest highest-paid player in the league. They were a young team, led by co-captains Daniel Briere and Chris Drury along with Teppo Numminen and Mike...
Sabres' Trade Targets With First-Round Pick
May 4th, 2020 Last week we made the case for the Buffalo Sabres trading their first-round pick. With the NHL rumoured to be pushing for a draft in early June, now is the time to look into specifics for trade possibilities. We need to identify teams with impactful, offensive players that are looking to shake things up and add a top-10 pick in a...
Sabres Need to Trade Their First-Round Pick
April 30th, 2020 In a given year, the NHL Draft is not an exact science. Players will rise and fall and the real results of a draft can't truly be known for upwards of five seasons. This season, the idea of the draft itself is mired in questions. When will the draft be? Where will it be? When is the lottery? What happens to conditional picks? Once...
