2nd round/early 1st round prospects for the Bills
Apr. 5 | We are 3 weeks away from the NFL Draft and I'm giddy. One thing I'll never understand is why the NFL Draft is so late. The season is over in February, The Combine is done by the end of the same month, Free Agency starts in the beginning/middle of...
Half Past Midnight for the Sabres
Apr. 4 | Matt and I strike up a after midnight conversation about the Sabres on facebook and decided to share it. Enjoy. Matt: Just when I think I'm out....they pullllll me back in. It's not exactly Rocky III, or anything, a 6-5 comeback win of the Leafs,...
Beaten By Who? You Gotta Be Scrivens Me
Apr. 3 | Bartleby the Scrivener I get it; This is a sensitive time of year for hockey fans. Driven by the desire for post-season puck, the majority fans cannot help but overstate glory and disaster in every frozen moment. It’s hairy. It’s edgy. It’s...
Why are we talking about Miller?
Apr. 3 | Out of the useless classes I took at Buffalo State College, if there was one course I could say taught me something about broadcasting, it was Talk Radio (Bob Gaughan teaches it). Pretty much it taught you the ins and outs about getting listeners and...

Rick Jeanneret: One More Year
Apr. 2 | The season seems to be cruelly winding down for the Sabres. Unless by act of miracle by our hockey gods, Sabres fans are looking at three more games with the Blue and Gold this season. It’s been a heroic run at the playoffs, and that’s been fun, but...

Sabres blow it against the Leafs

Pinch me, I’m dreaming
Mar. 30 | "Pinch me, I'm dreaming." Those are the words I texted to my mother (yes, I'm a mama's boy) after the Sabres trounced the Capitals 5-1 to take over possession of 8th place. I still feel like I'm dreaming. A little over a month ago, the...
I Want It, Sabres
Mar. 28 | There was a time not too long ago when there was nothing I wanted more than to watch my favorite team play my favorite sports. That iced canes squad was the 2005-06 Buffalo Sabres and Dear Holiness they were wonderful to watch; Our city’s team was the...

Q&A about Mark Anderson

The core, part deux
Mar. 19 | Almost every Sabres fan looks back on the summer of 2007 with scorn. You know, that summer Darcy Regier let Danny Briere and Chris Drury leave via free agency, essentially destroying a team that'd won the President's Trophy the year before. While...
