Who should be the Captain of the Buffalo Sabres?
May 21st, 2013 The NHL Trade Deadline left more than a void on the first line with the departure of scoring winger Jason Pominville. It left a void in the captaincy of the Buffalo Sabres. The team, in what many feel was the right decision so late in the season, decided against naming a captain, instead naming three alternates: Thomas Vanek, Drew...
Thomas Vanek's Potential Landing Spots
May 17th, 2013 The 2013 NHL Draft was already set to be an exciting time for both the league and the Buffalo Sabres. A draft this deep could turn around the fortunes of several franchises in just one day. For Buffalo, the day could hold far more impact.

Jhonas Enroth Should Start in 2013/14
May 14th, 2013 Given all that happened for the Buffalo Sabres during the shortened 2012/13 NHL season, it ended on a fairly high note.

May 7th, 2013 Bright and early on May 7th, the Buffalo Sabres took another important step in the rebuilding process. General Manager Darcy Regier announced that former interim coach Ron Rolston will be the permanent head coach of the team heading into the 2013-14 season. The move makes sense for a couple of reasons. Firstly: he earned...
The Case For The Sabres To Keep Ville Leino
May 1st, 2013 This off-season is an important one for the Buffalo Sabres. It’s been a long, long time since the franchise was in a state of flux quite like this. Lindy Ruff, long-time head coach and security blanket of sorts is gone. No longer can Sabres fans point to him as the longest-tenured coach in the game as if that were somehow more...
