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:
but for me it’s a [...]
Now that things have settled a bit, I thought I’d look at the potential line combinations for this year. Keep in mind I’m not 100% sure who can be sent to Roches…er…Portland to start the season. Anyway, what the lines will most likely look like:
Hecht - Connolly - Pominville
Vanek - Roy - Afinogenov
Paille - Gaustad [...]
The World Championships are May 2-18th, and Team USA has announced the first 17 players on the roster. Western New York is well represented (though in part because the Sabres did not make the playoffs), as Patrick Kane (S. Buffalo) and Lee Stempniak (West Seneca) made the team. Buffalo Sabres Paul Gaustad, Jason Pominville and Drew Stafford are [...]
The Sabres kept their scant playoff hopes alive with a rare shootout win last night against the Ottawa Senators. Jason Spezza opened the scoring unassisted, but Maxim Afinogenov matched him a minute later. Jochen Hecht got his 22nd on the power play to finish the first period with a 2-1 lead.
Buffalo then assisted Mike Fisher [...]
You almost feel bad for the Lightning, who probably thought they had this game in the bag after 2 periods. Buffalo looked downright terrible at times, with giveaways and gaffes costing them goals early. However, strong play from their current captain and the newly-reunited Roy-Vanek-Stafford line pulled it out for em’.
Jeff Halpern and Martin St. [...]
Derek Roy and Jason Pominville have been top 5 forwards for the past month. They’ve combined for 39 points in the 8 games during that stretch.
This was just what the Sabres’ needed to get right with the playoff race, two regulation wins, and both in resounding fashion. First off was a 7-1 smackdown of the Carolina Hurricanes that was owned by the muckers and grinders. Paille, Mair, Gaustad and The Kaleta! all scored for Buffalo, with Derek Roy [...]
Despite a parade of Rangers to the penalty box (including a full 2 minute 5 on 3), the Sabres could not pull away from the Rangers, and it cost them as they lost another shootout. That puts the team’s record at 2-9 in the skills competition. Miller is letting in 50% of shots taken on [...]
Two more weekend games, two more losses for the Buffalo Sabres. Friday’s game was a 6-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens was particularly painful, with Plekanec scoring 3 power play goals. Vanek continued his hot streak with his 27th goal of the season, and Connolly scored as well, both also on the PP.
The next game, [...]
Steve Bernier didn’t take long to make an impression on Buffalo Sabres fans, scoring the first two goals of the game and adding an assist as the Sabres pounded the Preds 8 to 4.
