A Statement Game in Buffalo
Posted on 24 Nov 2011 by Matt Preston.
With the dark cloud of what happened 11 days ago hanging over the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, NY, both the Boston Bruins and Buffalo Sabers took to the ice on Wednesday night looking to make a statement in this Northeast Division match-up. Both teams made their statement, but in the end it was the Bruins who came out on top with a 4-3, shootout victory. For the Sabres, they came into the g...

Player Profile: Martin Biron
Posted on 22 Feb 2011 by Adam Gavriel.
It's backup goalie time. Marty has been a pretty big part of the Rangers so far this season, even in his limited time between the pipes. Everywhere he's played the fans have loved him because he is such a personable kind of guy, the media loves him because he's not afraid to talk and you can tell he has the ultimate respect of his teammates as well. Biron may be the best Rangers backup goalie i...

Tough Luck Tuukka Falls Again
Posted on 16 Dec 2010 by Matt Preston.
It’s a good thing when your team has a starting goaltender who is first in the league in goals against average (1.51) and save percentage (.954), tied for first in shutouts (5) and tied for sixth in wins (14). It is even better when you can spell such stellar play with a 23-year old backup entering his second year in the NHL who ranks sixth in the league in save percentage (.927) and carries ...

Gone in 71 Seconds

So much for my guaranteed win. Those who read my commentary regularly know that I prefer to be tougher on the Habs when they win, and I prefer to look for positives when they lose. The logic in that philosophy is that you are never as good as you appear to be when you are winning, and you are never as bad as you appear to be when you are losing. Tonight’s performance in Buffalo is the excepti...

Posted on 4 Apr 2009 by Tim Anderson.
While making the playoffs is always the benchmark of a good season, sometimes there are those games, regardless of their playoff implications, that push a team around the corner into a successful franchise. Facing countless moments of adversity against one of the Eastern Conferences most prolific teams, the Buffalo Sabres scraped and clawed their way back on multiple occasions, and instead of ...

Is our New Found Hope Blind to the Road Ahead?
Posted on 29 Mar 2009 by Tim Anderson.
Is it hope, frustration, or anxiety that kept me from getting a good night's sleep last night? There's no question that, at least mathematically, the Sabres have scraped and crawled their way back into the Eastern Conference playoff race. That said, try to keep the excitement to a minimum, because by “back into,” I really mean “barely alive.” Nevertheless, wi...

Two Losses I can Live With
Posted on 22 Mar 2009 by Tim Anderson.
Another crushing weekend that has put yet another nail in the coffin has me less distressed than I've been in quite some time. Why? Perhaps it's because I've been to hell and back over the past 72-hours, suffering from a seemingly new strand of flu that has not only taken the life out of me (which I thought had already been accomplished courtesy the 2008-09 Buffalo sport's ...

Loss in Ottawa Begins to Answer Questions
Posted on 18 Mar 2009 by Tim Anderson.
Despite the picture the standings paint, the outlook is far more discouraging. And if you're looking for reassurance, stop here! There's just no other way to describe it. For me, the only rational way one can explain the sudden collapse of the Buffalo Sabres, is to surmise that they clearly possess a high propensity for apathy. We can talk about the lack of leadership, which I th...
