‘Maintenance Day’ for some of the Toronto Maple Leafs
After a 4-0 2012 start for the Toronto Maple Leafs, some of the Maple Leaf players took a well deserved maintenance day or an individual workout on Wednesday, to get ready for a rematch against the Buffalo Sabres on Friday.

GARTH: I've Got Miller's Back
Gotta say. I saw very little humour in the cartoon comparison of Ryan Miller past and present, that the Buffalo News chose to run today. In fact, I thought that it lacked class.
I'd share it with you in this space, however, I don't wish to pump the tires of the cartoonist or the paper.Snicker and sneer all you like. Fact is, Miller is the #1 goalie on this Sabres team...
Rotten to the Core

There were some other good times/years in my fandom, such as the May Day goal and the excitement of Lafontaine and Mogilny, and of course the 98 Cup run, but there were things that overshadowed those days. Finally getting out of the 1st round in ‘93 was great, but the sweep...
Sabres No Show, Continue To Show Ineptitude

GARTH: Playoffs Start T\onight
Time for the real Buffalo Sabres to please stand up and be counted.
What better place to do so than in the snakepit otherwise known as Toronto?
Lindy Ruff's team is starting the second half of the 11/12 season, with exactly the same record-- 18-18-5--- that it possessed at the midway point of the 10/11 season.
For that reason, the Playoffs start tonight for Buffalo.
