Buffalo Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers will be sidelined four to six weeks with a broken wrist. "It happened just on an awkward play, nothing you would ever notice," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff told the Buffalo News on Monday. "Just one of those freak-like incidents." The 12th overall pick of the 2008 draft, Myers has collected two goals, four assists and 10 penalty...

Former Sabre Rob Ray Calls Buffalo's Lack of Response to Milan Lucic's Hit on Ryan Miller 'Very Disappointing'

Via NESN.com  |  November 23, 2011
Rob Ray spent more than 13 seasons with the Buffalo Sabres and knows a thing or two about sticking up for a teammate. So when the Sabres did nothing following Milan Lucic's hit on Ryan Miller, he was very disappointed. Ray, who played with Buffalo from 1989-2003, said the Sabres had the players on the ice who would do something, so it was a bit surprising to see Lucic get let...

Editors Note: I (Kevin) didn't write this- this is the work of a reader named BosoxBob who sent me some pretty good analysis on the Lucic-Miller hit. It was well written, so I've decided to post it.

Revenge Game For The Sabres

from John Vogl of the Buffalo News, The Sabres can say it’s just a hockey game all they want.

GAME RECAP: Coyotes 4 @ Sabres 2

Via Rant Sports  |  November 21, 2011
While at home, the Buffalo Sabres (12-8-0) play in an above-average arena filled to capacity with some of the best fans in sports. So it’s hard to imagine that the Sabres are truly better on the road than they are at home. But on Saturday night against the Phoenix Coyotes (10-5-3), the Sabres looked like the lesser team. Once again, the Sabres were down early. But at least...

What we have on our hands for Wednesday evening is what you might call a highly anticipated event.

Bruins-Sabres Preview

Only one goal was scored during the Boston Bruins' latest victory, a far cry from the offensive display they've put up during most of a nine-game winning streak that included a 6-2 rout of the Buffalo Sabres. That result isn't the only reason the Sabres could be eager for payback Wednesday night. Boston's Milan Lucic leveled Ryan Miller with a hit that's kept...
