Sabres off to a poor start
Posted on 18 Oct 2010 by George Kouvalis.
Maybe Lindy Ruff is finally on the hot seat in Buffalo. The Buffalo Sabres have started their 2010-2011 NHL season off and suffice to say it hasn't been a good so far. With a chance to get off to a great start as four of their first six games in the season were at home, the others in Ottawa and Chicago, the Sabres didn't take advantage. The Sabres are off to a 1-4-1, including 0-3-1 at ...

Sabres Need better home cookin’
Posted on 12 Oct 2010 by George Kouvalis.
The Buffalo Sabres probably wouldn't have imagined themselves not taking at least one point in their first two games at home but that was just the case after another home loss on Monday night to the defending Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Black Hawks. The Sabres, who opened their season with a win on Friday night in Ottawa, didn't look like the same Northeast Division Champions as last season. ...

Questions of what could have been...

Pens next steps
Posted on 13 May 2010 by Amit Mann.

Pittsburgh turned the puck over regularly in the first period and for a portion of the second while Marc-Andre Fleury continued his unspectacular play before being pulled in favour of Brent Johnson. When Pittsburgh did start playing their brand of hockey it...
