Buffalo Sabres Make The Wrong Call Again

Buffalo Sabres Make The Wrong Call Again

November 13th, 2013 Once again, the Buffalo Sabres have turned well meaning into the wrong move. It’s no secret by now that the team has relieved general manager Darcy Regier and head coach Ron Rolston of their duties. In the door? New President of Hockey Operations Pat Lafontaine and interim head coach (and blast from the past) Ted Nolan. Many felt...
Buffalo Sabres: The Vanek Trade and Being a Fan

Buffalo Sabres: The Vanek Trade and Being a Fan

November 7th, 2013 “Sports fan” and “logical” are two words that seem to be in direct conflict with one another. Sports fans are passionate; they invest emotionally in their favorite teams, often with a hometown connection, and don’t want to see that investment repaid with awful games and no championships from their team. They demand someone,...
Thomas Vanek: Goodbye and Thank You

Thomas Vanek: Goodbye and Thank You

October 29th, 2013 We all knew this day was coming. Some of us didn’t expect it so soon into the 2013-14 season, but still knew it was inevitable. It still doesn’t change the shock and sadness over Thomas Vanek being traded away on Sunday night. With the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings battling on NBC, the World Series playing Game 4,...
Firing Darcy Regier Now Isn't The Answer

Firing Darcy Regier Now Isn't The Answer

October 23rd, 2013 Fans are both the best and worst part of sports. When things are going well, their support can propel a team over the top, taking them to new heights and the two sides share a level of happiness that is hard to match. The connection is special and both sides feel as apart of it all as they possibly can. But when things aren’t going...
Buffalo Sabres: The Week Ahead

Buffalo Sabres: The Week Ahead

October 21st, 2013 It’s been a rough season so far if you’re a fan of the Buffalo Sabres. Yeah, we all knew this wasn’t going to be a good season from the start, but this kind of offensive ineptitude? At the rate they’re going, they will set all kinds of franchise records for their inability to score. And poor Ryan Miller. The guy has been...
What We Learned: Sabres vs Red Wings

What We Learned: Sabres vs Red Wings

October 3rd, 2013 It was game 1 of 82 for the Buffalo Sabres last night. Not only that, but it was prime time against a new divisional rival and arguably a Stanley Cup favorite in the Detroit Red Wings. There are a lot of things to consider and take away from this one, a losing 2-1 effort (I wasn’t far off); some things to be happy about and some...
Game Preview: Red Wings vs Sabres

Game Preview: Red Wings vs Sabres

October 2nd, 2013 Who Detroit Red Wings When Tonight, 8:00PM EST The Dangermen The usual suspects are back in Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. Datsuyk is the guy you might know from his time spent dekeing the jocks off of people or embarrassing goalies on the reg. When he someone does something cool, it’s “Datsyukian”. That should tell you...
Buffalo Sabres Season Preview: Goalies

Buffalo Sabres Season Preview: Goalies

September 30th, 2013 We’re hitting the home stretch. The regular season is almost here and hockey will enrich all of our lives once more. So far in the off-season, we’ve had questions asked about the Sabres from top to bottom, speculated on just what would happen with Cody Hodgson and his contract, and everything in between. But with so little time...
