I know this is a tough day for the city of Buffalo as the hardest working team in hockey came up just short of advancing to the Stanley Cup. I have never been so proud to be a fan of a team in my entire life!! Just thinking about how badly I wanted this city and this team to stake claim to their first championship brings tears to my eyes. The Sabres played their hearts out and showed what being a team truly represents. After going to four playoff games (all of which were victories) and witnessing the jubilation that…
View Slideshow The good news is that the Sabres won 4-3 to go up 2-1 in the series in front of an electric crowd at the HSBC Arena. The bad news is that they will have to march on without the ever so talented Henrik Tallinder. With about 6 minutes to go in the game, Tallinder broke his arm which will sideline him the rest of the playoffs. Although it is hard to keep brushing off these injuries (because Tallinder is the anchor of the defence), this is nothing new for this ‘never say die’ team. These guys have fought…
View Slideshow Anyone who thinks that playoff hockey is anything short of phenomenal better get their head checked!!! Can you believe that this is only round two of the playoffs? I have been to many monumental games in Sabres history and last night’s game took the cake – BY A LONG SHOT!!!!! The crowd was on fire and I am pretty sure that the pre-game party did not hurt either. Sabres fever is spreading like wildfire and the city of Buffalo is grabbing on for dear life. As I stood there in the 300 level (making many new friends), I…

Well folks, whether you like the changes going on at One Bills Drive or not, the ’06-’07 schedule has been released. The Bills will not have their home opener until the third week of the season when they host the Jets. Looking at the schedule, it does not look to be too daunting of a task as long as one of the QBs on the roster can separate themselves from the rest. Opening against the Patriots could be a blessing in disguise for Buffalo. It is also a bonus that they get the Miami game out of the way in…
The Sabres have not been playing their best hockey as of late but they have now crossed off the first goal of their season. With a 3-2 victory over the same team that embarassed them 7-0 two nights ago, the Sabres have punched their ticket to the wonderful land of the NHL post season. If you had asked most people before this season started, they would have never thought that this team would have clinched a playoff spot while in 4th place in the East. Buffalo has gone through plenty of adversity throughout the year with injuries and trade talks…
Before I start on the accomplishments of the Sabres, I would like to send out collective thoughts and prayers to Lindy Ruff and his family as they await the results on his daughter’s tests. The Sabres are doing their part to ease Ruff’s pain as they win their 7th straight win against the Capitols. If Buffalo can defeat Toronto on Thursday, it will set up a classic match-up on Saturday as they will be battling Ottawa for first place. Did anyone really think that the Sabres would be sitting in this position with a month remaining in the regular season?…
