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 [...]
I just love this picture. Derek Roy looks genuinely pleased for TV. Spacek looks suspicious - perhaps he’s trying to intimidate the refs, knowing how ridiculous some of the calls were last year. Timmy was distracted by something shiny. Spotted at Sabres.com.
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 Buffalo Sabres ended their season on a high note, shutting out the Boston Bruins 3-0. Jocelyn Thibault got the shutout, and Thomas Vanek (thanks to some unselfish play from Derek Roy) had all three goals for the natural hat trick. Coach Ruff had the team playing a boring, defensive game to make a point [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
