GAME RECAP: Islanders 2 @ Sabres 1

Via Rant Sports  |  December 01, 2011
And the home woes continue for the Buffalo Sabres (13-10-1). You can blame the injuries. You can really blame whoever you want. But if the Sabres want to compete for the Stanley Cup, they need to take care of business at home against the New York Islanders (7-11-4). That’s not a shot against the Islanders. If you want to be an elite team, you need to win your home games against...

GARTH: Aborted Launch

Via HockeyBuzz  |  December 02, 2011
Another false start. Another home loss. This game was over at the 14:41 mark of period one, when Val Filppula beat Jhonas Enroth. Earlier goals by Kindl and Franzen buckled Buffalo's knees. Per their system, Detroit owned the puck. They win faceoffs, loose pucks and rebounds, and they refuse to share it with their opponents. The Sabres got schooled by the best puck...
