Grier, 36, appeared in a total of 1,060 regular season NHL games, recording 162 goals and 221 assists for 383 points. He also played in 101 NHL playoff games, as his teams qualified for the playoffs in 11 of his 14 seasons in the league. “I was very fortunate to be able to play 14 seasons in the NHL with some great players,” said Grier. “The memories and friendships that I have built during my time in the league will last a lifetime. I would like to thank my former teammates, family and fans for helping make my career so memorable for me. It was a great ride, and I am now excited and looking forward to my post-playing future.” continued

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...

I missed almost all of the first period thanks to my regular babysitting gig. I watched the second and zoned out for much of the third. The TV was on and I was kind of paying attention, but it was clear it wasn't the Sabres' night, and I wasn't sitting in front of Twitter so I curled up on the couch with my Kindle and focused more on what I was reading than what I was...

GARTH: Aborted Launch

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...
