Back-to-Back Home Games Dec 29th and 30th
The Buffalo Silverbacks take on the Cape Cod Frenzy Friday and the Quebec City Kebekwa Saturday at Buffalo State College Arena. During the Frenzy's last two visits to Buffalo they were handed losses that they're probably still recovering from. After the first encounter, Buffalo walked away with a 136-90 victory and Antoine Sims set the franchise record for Buffalo scoring 52 points. The next meeting was in a bid to move to the second round of the ABA (American Basketball Association) playoffs. The final score was 133-88 which propelled Buffalo to the next round. You can be sure that the Frenzy will be back looking for revenge.

To be honest, I went out Wednesday night planning to chronicle the last night of this hockey season in Buffalo.
After the way Ottawa crushed the Sabres in Monday night’s third game of the Eastern Conference Finals, physically and spiritually, in perhaps the most one-sided 1-0 game ever played in any sport, the logical conclusion was that Buffalo’s seven-month run as the new glamour team of the National Hockey League was in its death throes.

Last week’s preview of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Buffalo Sabres and the Ottawa Senators was rife with wisecracks about John Muckler, Ray Emery, Daniel Alfredsson and even the Roman Senate.
