QCS Buffalo Water Cooler: Sabres Back In Action!

Found January 17, 2013 on Queen City Sports:
PLAYERS: Tyler Myers,  Steve Ott,  Ville Leino,  Mikhail Grigorenko,  Lindy Ruff,  Brayden McNabb,  Luke Adam,  Ryan Miller,  Jhonas Enroth,  Thomas Vanek
TEAMS: Buffalo Sabres,  Miami Dolphins
This week’s Water Cooler features QCS writers Bradley Gelber, Brandon Hess, Jason Davis, and Robert Quinn Will Grigorenko make the Sabres roster out of camp? Grigorenko is the Sabres highest touted rookie since Tyler Myers (Getty Images) Bradley Gelber: I think he’ll get his shot through at least the first five games. It’s obviously early, but reports out of camp are that Grigorenko is already impressing the coaching staff and his veteran teammates. So far he’s been playing the pivot in between Steve Ott and Ville Leino. There has been apparent chemistry right off the bat with Grigs & Leino and after Leino’s struggles last season, anyone who can get him going has increased value on the team. Ott compared his skills to Malkin and at 18-years-old, there isn’t much more of a compliment than that. The Sabres’ offensive injuries could help make this decision an easier one. Brandon Hess: My perspective on the Grigorenko situation has changed dramatically in a few weeks.  Initially I w...

When Mikhail Grigorenko was the first Russian player the Buffalo Sabres drafted since Vyacheslav Buravchikov in the 5th round of the 2005 Entry Draft, the hype machine was started on whether Grigorenko was the answer to all of the Sabres' questions. That hype machine has been consistently primed for the start of the season and has come to a head with just a few days left before...

After placing Adam Pardy on waivers, and barring any moves before today's 5:00 p.m. deadline, the Sabres have their roster set at 23 for the season opener Sunday afternoon against the Flyers. Assuming that neither Nathan Gerbe nor Cody McCormick will be ready to play due to injuries, the forward lines will likely look like this: Vanek - Hodgson - Pominville Foligno - Ennis...

Tyler Myers’ Summer With An All-Star

Via Kukla's Korner  |  January 16, 2013
From Paul Hamilton of WGR SportsRadio 550, There are many things that have to fall into place if the Sabres are to contend. One of the biggest things this team needs is for Tyler Myers to not only be this team’s best defenseman, but one of the best defensemen in the NHL. Many feel Shea Weber is the best defenseman in the league and Tyler Myers used the off season to spend...

Via Queen City Sports  |  January 17, 2013
(Source: Marianne Helm/Getty Images North America) Each and every day,  hockey fans are talking about what roster moves their favorite team should make. Who they should trade, cut, sign, etc..

Welcome to Decision Day. Darcy Regier, Lindy Ruff and their trusted confidantes have met to discuss the Buffalo Sabres roster.

Sabres centers to serve a pivotal role

Via Buffalo Wins  |  January 18, 2013

Glaring organizational weaknesses have been addressed in recent seasons via the draft and this approach has led to an impressive stockpile of talent in Buffalo’s prospect cupboards. June’s draft was certainly no exception as the Sabres took what may have been considered to be...

My Miller time

Can you believe it has been 10 years since Ryan Miller started his first NHL game? That might depend on how you feel about the Sabres.  I think if you have been miserable with their existence, the years kind of drag, but when you are happy, well, time flies when you're having fun, as dorks say. For me, it has been...kind of a fog.  I've had so many ups and downs...
