February 11th, 2019 Forget about the second week in April, the Buffalo Sabres are in the playoffs right now. Sure, technically they’ve only played 55 contests of an 82-game schedule.

Darryl Sittler’s Magical 10-Point Game
February 7th, 2019 Records are made to be broken. But, more than 40 years after Darryl Sittler set the record for most points scored in a single game, it has yet to be matched, much less broken. Sittler’s name literally covered the scoresheet as he piled up six goals and four assists in the Toronto Maple Leafs' 11-4 rout over the Boston Bruins on Feb. 7,...
