No other team in the 43 year history of the Buffalo Sabres has run the emotional and physical gauntlet of gutting out 14 games in 24 days. Thanks to the NHL lockout, the Sabres had to play the cards that they were dealt. The team didnât skate on Wednesday. They practice today to prepare to avenge Sundayâs loss to the Bruins. The first 14 games of the season and dead and buried. Be thankful...

Through 14 games in the lockout-shortened NHL season, the Buffalo Sabres sit at 5-8-1. That record is good for just 11 points and a last-place standing in the Eastern Conference. Buffalo already trails the division leading-Bruins by seven points, and a loss on home ice tonight could put them in some very hot water.
There have been various reasons for the Sabres’ struggles so far...

Eric Karlsson’s NHL Dive of the Year submission (VIDEO)

February 13, 2013
Tuesday night against the Sabres, the Senators’ Eric Karlsson attempted to put himself up for an Academy Award with one of worst attempts at drawing a penalty you will ever see. Buffalo’s Patrick Kaleta chased Karlsson behind the Ottawa net and put his stick on Karlsson’s back causing (not at all causing) Karlsson to fall to the ice. The worst thing about it: the official...

Keys to The Game Vs. Buffalo

Buffalo is a nice city. Just ask the Bruins. They have to pack up and go back to Buffalo for the second time in three games, all in the same week. The last time the two teams met the Bruins beat the Sabres 3-1 and overpowered the weak Sabres team. Both teams have only played one game since their last meeting. The Bruins lost in overtime to the New York Rangers in a thrilling game...

Sabres Scratches:
In a surprise move, Lindy Ruff is healthy scratching robust, burly D Mike Weber.
Cody McCormick and TJ Brennan will also sit this one out.
Why is Lindy compromising the grit and tenacity of his lineup by sitting a guy who has arguably been his...

Erik Karlsson got away with a pretty obvious dive
There's no room for embellishing or diving in hockey. Aside from the fact that NHL officials have a hard enough time trying to figure out what's happening on the ice without theatrics, hockey players have always been lauded as being tough, rugged warriors - not divers.
In Tuesday's game between Ottawa and Buffalo, Erik Karlsson demonstrated exactly what the NHL needs...

One of these days, the Sabres players are going to clean the wax out of their ears so that they can hear Lindy Ruff when he implores them to 'stay out of the box".
One of these days.
Until then, they'll take eight penalties in a game like they did in Ottawa, and they will lose.
How can a team commit eight minor penalties and still expect to win the game?

12. Boston Bruins at Buffalo Sabres

Didn't we just play these guys? I feel like the Bruins February schedule is home vs NYR, then at Buffalo, then at NYR, then home against Buffalo - rinse and repeat. I'm not complaining though because playing Buffalo is like Michael Jordan dominating a wheelchair basketball game. For a team I picked to finish on top of the Northeast Division - they're ******* terrible...

Cody McCormick is a thick, robust winger/centre who plays like a linebacker on ice. Heâs very effective against the Boston Bruins during his Sabres career. Cody wonât score many goals or dangle enemy goalies, however, his true value to his team is to play the role of bar bouncer and to keep the Bruins honest. Looks Lindy Ruff will be sitting McCormick tonight, according...
