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 [...]
Megabus has started service between Buffalo and Binghamton, Toronto and NYC, in case you were not aware. The trick is, you can get tickets as low as $1 each way depending on when you search and how much demand there is for the trip. I just did a search, and could go round-trip to Toronto [...]
“After the hit there were a couple of purse-swingings that didn’t amount to much,” Paul Maurice said. “No offence, ladies.”
From Maple Leafs coach Paul Maurice, after the aforementioned hit by Mark Bell on Daniel Alfredsson.
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 [...]
The Buffalo Sabres managed to survive in the playoff race one more day thanks to a timely shootout goal from Maxim Afinogenov, winning 4-3 in the skills comp. It looked bleak after the first minute of the game though, as jerkwad Darcy Tucker scored to put the Leafs up 1-0. Kaberle increased their lead to [...]
Buffalo must win tonight to keep the slim playoff hopes alive, as they visit the Toronto Maples Leafs tonight at the ACC, 7:30pm start time. Still no Kalinin, Spacek or Numminen, lineup will be the same as far as I’m aware. We’ll be seeing Andrew Raycroft in net, as the Leafs are out of playoff [...]
Fittingly for the season, the Sabres laid an egg on Friday, losing to the Leafs 4-1. Vanek was the lone goal scorer, as the team made Toskala look good with 35 saves. The powerplay was anemic, going 1 for 8 despite a parade of Leafs to the box (including significant 5 on 3 time). To [...]
The Toronto Maple Leafs take the bus trip down the QEW today to face the Sabres at HSBC Arena tonight at 7:30pm. The Leafs will be without Mats Sundin, Carlo Colaiacovo and Nik Antropov, and the Sabre lineup should be the same as Timmah is probably going to sit. Teppo is apparently practicing with his [...]
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 [...]
I see Philly got a loser point tonight to keep 4 points ahead of Buffalo. Those shootout failures loom larger and larger.
…
Jeff Jillson is on re-entry waivers…wonder if Buffalo thought about grabbing him for depth in Rochester now that Weber is up?
…
I just don’t see the Leafs making up enough ground for that last playoff [...]
