Statement Revised?
Posted on 10 Mar 2009 by Mark Gage.
The more things change, the more they remain the same. Seasoned Canucks fans, and you certainly don't have to wait very long to see all of the good and bad to become one of them, knew not to be counting too many chickens after the supposed Statement game on Saturday against the front-running Sharks. Canuck fans have been teased so many times over the years, only to be let down by their tea...

If You Want Something Done, You’ve got to do it Yourself
Posted on 10 Mar 2009 by Tim Anderson.
There's no one out there who's looking to lend the Sabres a helping hand. Since Friday's win over Phoenix, a victory that put Buffalo only 2-points out of the #5 seed in the Eastern Conference, the floor has collapsed, leaving them in 10th place. And they have no one to blame but themselves. Their loss Saturday night to the Senators left them calling for help, however nothing b...

“I am speechless. I am without speech.” – George Costanza Guy Carbonneau is out as Head Coach of the Montreal Canadiens. Bob Gainey will take over, while all of the assistant coaches will remain on staff. Speculation is that because Gainey was in Hamilton the past week, he will bring Don Lever with him behind the bench to serve in the same capacity that Carbonneau served in b...

Posted on 9 Mar 2009 by Ian Altenbaugh.

This game will be yet another test for a team who decided to do it the hard way this season. Reviving a Reveled Rivalry First of all, to the Capital fans who fe...

Trade Deadline Reaction
Posted on 9 Mar 2009 by Dan Caristo.
It's been almost a week since the trade deadline, and I'm still frustrated with the moves Bob Murray made. At the end of the day I was angry, and confused to where the Ducks stood in the Western Conference. I decided to calm down and think logically about the moves that were made. Before I break it down, here is a list of who is in, and who is out. IN: Ryan Whitney, Petteri Nokelaine...

I watched UFC 96 last night. You know what I love about the UFC, most entrance music lasts longer then the actual fight. I believe last night that only two matches went past the first round. It's a no non-sense way of taking care of business or TCB as Kramer would say. The trade deadline came and went, and then came again. There were 22 trades on Wednesday, 12 of them were announced after...

Isles edge ‘Yotes, 3-2
Posted on 8 Mar 2009 by Frank Mazzola.
If the current squad of the New York Islanders keep up their winning ways, they may well be “The Toast of the League” one day. Too bad most of them will have to celebrate with ginger ale instead of champagne due to legal age restrictions. Jeff Tambellini scored for the third time in four games and Yann Danis made 40 saves to help the Islanders seal a 3-2 win over the Phoenix Coyote...

The Wrecking Ball
Posted on 8 Mar 2009 by Jim Mulligan.
Thursday night, I didn't have many good things to say about the Bruins. If I remember correctly, I used adjectives like lethargic and uninspired. The third period against Phoenix was their best period of the night but even still, their offense was chaotic and even disorganized. They never really threatened to score against the Yotes. I don't know what coach Julien said before today...

We’re the Only Ones not Taking Care of Business
Posted on 8 Mar 2009 by Tim Anderson.
While the rest of the teams around them in the standings took care of business tonight, Buffalo once again fell victim to the Ottawa Senators. I'm at a loss to understand why it is the Sabres cannot handle an Ottawa team that has already packed it in for the season.It's hard to fathom how a group of players that have nothing to play for can handle a team that is fighting for their pl...

Isles pound Devs 7-3
Posted on 8 Mar 2009 by Frank Mazzola.
Any time the New York Islanders can score seven goals in a game, it's a special day. Any time they can do so against Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils, it's a downright miraculous one.Sean Bergenheim notched his first career hat trick as he and the rest of the Islanders chased Brodeur after the second period en route to a 7-3 win Saturday afternoon at the Nassau Coliseum.&Acir...

Two Down, One to Go
Posted on 7 Mar 2009 by Tim Anderson.
So far, so good. The Sabres, currently in a situation that I believed would require a 3 of 3 performance this week, is now on the verge of coming to fruition. A win tonight and Buffalo will reclaim their long held playoff spot among the top 8 in the Eastern Conference.What a wild race it is in the East. The Sabres, currently sitting at 9th in the standings, are a mere 2-points out of ...
