Sabres Blank Habs, Move Into Tie For Eighth
Buffalo, NY - It was a night of milestones for the Buffalo Sabres. Cody Hodgson recorded his first two goals as a Sabre, Christian Ehrhoff earned his 200th career assist, and Derek Roy moved into sole possesion of ninth all-time in assists in Sabres franchise history. Oh yeah, and they took care of the Montreal Canadians 3-0 to move into a tie for eighth place in the Eastern Conference...

Sabres Do Their Part, But Get No Help
The Buffalo Sabres entered the night just two points back of the Capitals for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Well, they did their job as they easily took care of the Tampa Bay Lightning 7-3 in front of a mostly pro-Sabres crowd in Tampa, Florida. Unfortunately for Buffalo, they still find themselves two points back of Washington as the Caps beat the...

GARTH: Sabres Sign Varone To ELC

Sabres and Kings back from the abyss
Since when were the LA Kings and Buffalo Sabres in the playoff mix?If you looked at the standings last month, you would not have found the Kings or the Sabres anywhere near the playoff picture. Today, they sit on the cusp of the post season, and while there is still a lot to be settled in the last 10 games of the season, both clubs are clearly still in control of their playoff destinies...

GARTH: Myers Revenge Factor?
Sabres just ended their skate.
Derek Roy and Brad Boyes were missing in action, and, Pat Kaleta was rocking the red "don't screw with me sweater".
Travis Turnbull wasn't called up to watch tonight's game. I'm thinking Lindy called him up to defend against any and all Montreal shenanigans, in light of last Monday's Tyler Myers hit on Scott Gomez...
The core, part deux
Almost every Sabres fan looks back on the summer of 2007 with scorn.
You know, that summer Darcy Regier let Danny Briere and Chris Drury leave via free agency, essentially destroying a team that'd won the President's Trophy the year before. While Regier's moves were unpopular (and that's a major understatement), there was a little bit of logic behind them...
