I’ve lived back in Buffalo for about five years now and during that span, I’m always struck by how hard the media seems to be on the Buffalo Sabres franchise netminder, Ryan Miller. Last night with a victory against Montreal, Ryan Miller tied
1) It’s no surprise that Lindy Ruff keeps trying to prop up Ryan Miller — who again was ordinary-at-best tonight — because the only way to consistently win hockey games without good center play is with an A-plus goaltender. 2) Really, you can’t even adopt the “Where’s the leadership?” line because Thomas Vanek and Jason [...]
1) The Sabres won by seizing the control young Edmonton laid for the taking after Buffalo took a 3-2 lead and credit Drew Stafford for being everything the Sabres thought he became last year… at least for a night. 2) Thomas Vanek is having such a good season that he could’ve been a star on [...]
1) Evgeni Malkin is an absolute monster and just having one center better than the Sabres top middleman instead of three — Sidney Crosby and Jordan Staal are injured — was enough to get Pittsburgh by Buffalo 2) Ryan Miller was a garbage monster tonight. 3) Derek Roy is lost on the ice right now [...]
The buzz tonight is about Predators forward Jordin Tootoo who too a run at Ryan Miller his first game back from a concussion:

History. (Quick aside, by the way… what a coward Tootoo was with his “arms in the air to pretend I can’t avoid [...]
Buffalo hopes to get back on track tonight and has dropped two straight and five of its last six games. Refresh to Update: @SabreHess: @pharling If the #Sabres actually trade Roy for McNeill, who they should have drafted anyway, I’ll be doing backflips about 2 …
The New York Islanders will try to post consecutive wins for the first time Since October when they visit the First Niagara Center for tonight’s game against the Sabres. Sabres defenseman Robyn Regehr (upper body) and forward Drew Stafford (groin) missed the last game and …
Sunday’s “Immediate Reactions” Today’s edition features, in no particular order: – The Bills problems sans Shawne Merriman and Kyle Williams – The very real notion of elderly female Jehovah’s Witnesses or something of that ilk – The widespread but vague knowledge of Jerry Sandusky’s misdeeds? – Miller/Lucic; How do you solve a problem like Paul [...]
I heard the Sabres/Bruins postgame show and heard the uproar over Milan Lucic running Ryan Miller and Buffalo’s lack of proper response.
