The Ottawa Senators kept pace in their playoff race last night with an 8-2 drubbing of the Maple Leafs, but their chances at winning may have taken a huge (and dirty?) hit. Captain Daniel Alfredsson was hit in the head by Mark Bell is a play very similar to the one made by Neil on [...]
Teppo Numminen has been cleared to play hockey again, according to Buffalo Sabres GM Darcy Regier. He did not crack the lineup tonight, but is eligible for next two games. Teppo is returning from surgery to repair a faulty heart valve.
Just what the title says, Nathan Paetsch is back in the lineup, so Mike Funk is back down to Rochester. Lindy Ruff was quite happy with his callup this time, but likes having Nathan’s ability to join the rush from the blueline back. Dmitri Kalinin and Jaroslav Spacek are both skating on their own and [...]
I guess this question is answered. Darcy Regier announced today that Tim Connolly will have season-ending surgery on his hip. Tim is traveling to Vail, Colorado on Monday to have the surgery to remove the bone spur. He ends the year with 7 goals and 40 points. Get well, Tim.
Teppo practiced with the team today at the arena. Awesome.
Numminen skated with injured defensemen Jaroslav Spacek (ribs) and Dmitri Kalinin (right shoulder) for an hour before participating in the Sabres’ workout before their game Friday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
“It’s been a long journey,” Numminen said. “It’s great to be healthy and great to [...]
My son will be thrilled! Teppo Numminen was seen at HSBC Arena yesterday, with his equipment. He gave a simple “I’m back” comment, and Lindy Ruff said his health is being evaluated. If he can get in game shape, I’d love to have him around these young D-men to offer his experience.
edit to add: I [...]
That’s the assertion in an article in the News and Observer (based in Raleigh, NC).
A News & Observer analysis of NHL discipline since the 2005-06 season found that almost one-third of the suspensions handed down were assessed for offenses committed against Canadian teams, which represent only six of the league’s 30 franchises — but are [...]
I narrowly resisted some sort of overplayed Hurricane pun, you guys should know that. The Canes blow into Buffalo (okay, I lied) on a five game win streak while the Sabres remain 4 points out of the playoffs, having lost 4 straight and 6 of the last 7. To make matters worse, the Leafs, Caps [...]
Nathan Paetsch was wrecked by Georges Laraque, laying on the ice for several minutes before being helped off. Buffalo got wrecked in the game, losing 7-3. Apparently there were a couple of games that could’ve counted, but it’s got to get better. Philly lost so Buffalo didn’t lose any ground, but teams [...]
The Buffalo Sabres travel to the Igloo to face the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight, and they do so without Andrew Peters. Peters was suspended for one game for hitting Colton Orr while he was on the bench. Peters was retaliating for a hit that Orr put on a Sabres player that put him into the bench [...]
