Sabres.com has the preseason schedule up, including a game against the Canadiens in the city that won CBC’s Hockeyville contest (Roberval, Quebec). Annoyed here as usual that the Sabres seem to play every game away, only 2 of the 7 games are at home (not calling a Habs game in Quebec neutral site). Two preseason [...]
The Buffalo News has an article that thrilled my son…Teppo Numminen is in talks to return to the Sabres. Numminen missed all but one game last year after a heart valve condition had to be repaired during training camp. Interesting thoughts from Ottawa coach John Paddock (who coached Teppo in the past):

Sabres.com also has a short Q and A with Ryan Miller. I really enjoy reading or listening to what Ryan Miller says, as he always comes off as deep-thinking and serious. He knows he’s got a good thing, playing a sport for a living. Here are some of my favorite lines:

According to Sabres.com, Ryan Miller has signed a five-year contract, which will keep him here through 2013-2014. Terms were not disclosed. Now it’s down to Pominville. :D
Adding my own thoughts, well, this is fantastic! Miller is a very solid goalie who got worked over last year. If the team commits to playing Lalime for more [...]

Before Chicago gets to have the fun this year, I wanted to go back and check out the highlights from the original Winter Classic. NHL.com has a page here with many of the links they had about it. I sincerely hope Conklin plays for Detroit in this years Classic, as he has played [...]
The worst-kept secret in the NHL is now officially out there - the next Winter Classic will be January 1st, 2009 in Chicago. Wrigley Field will host the Original Six Blackhawks and Red Wings. Bettman thanked New York and will keep the new Yankee Stadium in mind in the future. Great. Anyway, the article (which [...]
The Sabres report that their first regular season opponent will be the Montreal Canadiens on October 10th. Also mentioned are the three ‘at-large’ games, wherein Buffalo faces off against Detroit, Anaheim and Phoenix. And just to review:
This season, the NHL has revised its scheduling format. Each team will continue to play an 82-game schedule, but [...]
In further Sabres news, Clarke MacArthur and Mark Mancari both accepted their qualifying offers, meaning they will be back with the Sabres organization next year. MacArthur played with the big club 37 game last season with 15 points. Mancari led Rochester in scoring, and also displayed the hardest shot in the AHL skills competition.
