Top Three Lines: Ottawa Senators 3, Buffalo Sabres 2 (SO)
Dec. 31 | 1) Jhonas Enroth had an extremely strong night save — pun intended — for the two weaknesses I’d hammer home before his summer vacation: breakaways and high-glove side. 2) Jordan Leopold has the ability to have nights like tonight where...
Number Nine, Number Nine, Number Nine…
Dec. 31 | It’s late April 2010 and the atmosphere is grim in the Buffalo Sabres locker room. Two centers have been interviewed back-to-back about the fan disdain for their performance in Buffalo’s six-game loss to the Boston Bruins. One, Tim Connolly, isn’t...
Top Three Lines: New Jersey Devils 3, Buffalo Sabres 1
Dec. 28 | 1) When three players — Zack Kassian, Jason Pominville and Luke Adam — account for 65 percent of your team’s shots in a game and not one of them manages a point, the result is generally not going to go your way. 2) Ryan Miller made a number...
Betting on the Bills Is Hazardous for Your Health
Dec. 27 | Over the summer, there were those who ridiculed me for thinking the Bills could make a run at .500. I didn’t quite go that crazy, but I did predict a 7-9 season for our Buffalo Bills. Even if the Bills don’t defeat New England, I will be still...
Bills Draft Order revisited, Wk 16
Dec. 24 | As of post time, the Bills could draft no higher than 7th and no lower than 16th (haha). I’m not claiming this to be infallible — see Joe B. of WGR (he has an Excel sheet regarding strength of schedule) for that — but some things to consider...
Mad Math on why the Bills aren’t thinking QB in the first round
Dec. 20 | There he goes. You’d be foolish to think Chan Gailey and Buddy Nix are deeply convinced that Ryan Fitzpatrick’s recent struggles aren’t anything to worry about, despite what the Bills coach and general manager say to the media. But you’d...
Bills draft order thoughts, probabilities, important games
Dec. 18 | As of post time, the Bills could draft no higher than 4th and no lower than 19th (haha). I’m not claiming this to be infallible — the actual draft order for sure, I’m not messing with strength of schedule yet, see Joe B. for that — but some things...
Immediate Reactions: Miami Dolphins 30, Buffalo Bills 23
Dec. 18 | The most painful slow dance of all-time (Getty Images) Twitter. Facebook. Ryan Fitzpatrick isn’t going anywhere. Not after a bad game last week nor after a gross, ugly and poor two-quarter stretch against Miam, an hour-or-so span...
Top Three Lines: Pittsburgh Penguins 8, Buffalo Sabres 3
Dec. 17 | He was so good and Miller so poor that Malkin figured his whole body could score 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...
Forget average, this Sabres team is actually bad
Dec. 17 | Whoops there goes another rubber tree plant Apparently, the gods in Hockey Heaven let any ol’ sinner inside the gates, because this Sabres team is worse than their .500 record indicates. The team spending the fourth-most money in hockey certainly...
On Trade Value: Roy and Stafford
Dec. 16 | I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of what we take for granted and what we overvalue as sports fans, especially Buffalo sports fans. Do we take solid running backs for granted because we have a track record of NFL name-value players running...
Top Three Lines: Buffalo Sabres 5, Toronto Maple Leafs 4
Dec. 16 | The ol' Midnight Meat Train Two lines are officially not enough for me to describe why the Sabres won or lost. For more thoughts on any game, hit up my Twitter feed. 1) Thomas Vanek had three goals in his last 14 games and now he has four in his...
Top Three Lines: Ottawa Senators 3, Buffalo Sabres 2 (OT)
Dec. 14 | Two lines are officially not enough for me. For more thoughts on any game, hit up my Twitter feed. 1) A little too much offense on the mind of Drew Stafford in oy gvertime, who let lanky Jared Cowen sneak in behind him for a split-second...
#Sabres vs #Senators
Dec. 13 | Tonight is the third of six meetings between these Northeast Division rivals, who square off two more times in December. These clubs played twice in a six-day span in early November, with Buffalo continuing its recent success over the Senators. The Sabres...
Top Records of 2011
Dec. 13 | Back when I reviewed 100s of CDs or so a year, I’d compile a “Top 25″ records for that year. Usually whatever Spoon put out that year would win and some hardcore record would be way too high on the list because I had just seen a band...
On Racism At My Alma Mater
Dec. 11 | Warning: the following will include some offensive language and deal with sensitive subject matter. I will write out the heinous word rather than sensor it because I want the reader to feel the full effect, not imagine it. This post is my reaction to...
Top Two Lines: NY Rangers 4, Buffalo Sabres 1
Dec. 11 | In the interest of encapsulating some of the 82 games that certainly don’t deserve the in-depth scientific studies we do on 16 or so football games, I’m going to give two lines after each Sabres game describing why I believe the game was won or lost...
Top Two Lines: Buffalo Sabres 2, Florida Panthers 1 (OT)
Dec. 10 | For today’s earlier post about the Sabres being even worse than perceived at home, go HERE. In the interest of encapsulating some of the 82 games that certainly don’t deserve the in-depth scientific studies we do on 16 or so football games, I’m...
Blowing Home: Nothing Insignificant About Sabres Horrid Start
Dec. 9 | I am not a huge fan of panic, so I headed for numbers earlier to hopefully dismantle my sped-up heart rate regarding Buffalo’s horrific 6-10 (FINE. 6-8-2) home start to Year One PHH. It didn’t go so well. To be frank, that’s one bad 6-10 mark...
Top Two Lines: Philadelphia Flyers 5, Buffalo Sabres 4 (OT)
Dec. 8 | In the interest of encapsulating some of the 82 games that certainly don’t deserve the in-depth scientific studies we do on 16 or so football games, I’m going to give two lines after each Sabres game describing why I believe the game was won or lost...
NHL Realignment Done Right? Almost Absolutely
Dec. 6 | The National Hockey League… wait for it… wait for it… did something righteous. It’s 2012-13 realignment plan approved by the Board of Governors is the stuff of greatness, fueling vitriol between longtime rivals and injecting life...
Top Two Lines: Buffalo Sabres 3, Nashville Predators 2
Dec. 4 | Devious cowardice. In the interest of encapsulating some of the 82 games that certainly don’t deserve the in-depth scientific studies we do on 16 or so football games, I’m going to give two lines after each Sabres game describing why I believe...
Why Tootoo will face additional discipline
Dec. 4 | Don’t know if it’ll be a fine or suspension that Predators forward Jordin Tootoo faces for his run-in with Ryan Miller, but it’ll be something additional to his five-minute major and misconduct. Why? History. (Quick aside, by the way… what...
