TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun reported on the Canadian sports network today that the Buffalo Sabres are looking to change the makeup of their top two forward lines via the trade route. [A trade] will be the next move for the Buffalo Sabres if Darcy Regier has his way. I’ve talked to other teams around the league over the last week. Regier is doing his homework. He’s talking trade with teams. What he’d like to do is move a top 6 forward in return for a top 6 forward. Easier said than done. Drew Stafford, Derek Roy, Brad Boyes - those are names that I’ve been told are in play for the Buffalo Sabres. Not every team in the league is going to want to move a top 6 for a top 6, but that’s what he’s trying to do. The Sabres currently sit in 11th place in the Eastern Conference with a 19-21-5 record and are 7 points out of a playoff position.

What To Do With The Sabres?

Via Kukla's Korner  |  January 17, 2012
from Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News, On the way to Chicago, here’s what I’m thinking after a wacky Monday night in Motown that was easily one of the worst Sabres road games I have ever seen. —-The Sabres have 36 goals in 20 road games. That’s pathetic. Period. —-Ryan Miller gave us more great quotes after the game. Sprinkled in an F-bomb too...

Kevin Freiheit: Message to the Sabres

Via HockeyBuzz  |  January 19, 2012
Coming into this season, expectations were high and the acquisitions of Christian Ehrhoff, Ville Leino and Robyn Regehr had Sabres fans thrilled about this season. But you know that. Things have gotten rough since our franchise goaltender took a hit in a game against Boston. 10 straight road losses have the team falling to the basement of the standings. But you know that...

GARTH: Ruff Has To Lead Team Through Tough Times

Via HockeyBuzz  |  January 17, 2012
Lindy Ruff's emotions have gotten the better of him at times this season. Look, its understandable. Losing is a painful process. Pain is weakness leaving the body.Today after practice in Chicago, Ruff opened up and spoke about digging his team out of the sink hole that it presently resides in. Ruff also grabbed the back of Ryan Miller. The coach is right, one player does...

GARTH: Miller Twists In Wind

Via HockeyBuzz  |  January 16, 2012
Trust me. I'm not Ryan Miller's PR man. I give him the gears when he deserves it. I prop him up when he deserves it. What a sickening spectacle. Ryan Miller's teammates quit on him. They lacked compete and passion. 24 minutes into this important game, the Sabres laid down for their Vezina goalie. Miller was chased from his net after surrendering 5 goals, one of...

Sabres Get White-Washed In Motown

Via Queen City Sports  |  January 16, 2012
Last week Lindy Ruff said that the team was healthy enough to start winning games, and that the injury excuse was not allowed to be used anymore.  Well, one has to wonder what the excuse for tonight’s performance is going to be after the Sabres were absolutely demolished by the Red Wings 5-0. It was the ninth straight road regulation loss for the Sabres – a franchise...

Red Wings-Sabres wrap-up and Wings-Stars set-up: Datsyuk, Wings make history by stomping Sabres

The Detroit Red Wings took a very, very late flight to Dallas on Red Bird II after absolutely stomping on the Buffalo Sabres, defeating Buffalo 5-0 and establishing a record-setting 15-game home ice winning streak before jetting off to face the Stars tonight (:30 PM, FSD/FS Southwest/WXYT). Usually, such an achievement would produce nothing less than elation from Red Wings fans...

Goalies Dominate Monday's NHL Action... Except Ryan Miller

Via Tonight's Healthy Scratches  |  January 17, 2012
There were six games on the NHL slate last night, a rather heavy amount for a Monday, and we saw at least one display of fine goaltending in every matchup. We saw three shutouts (almost four) in what quickly turned into a league-wide netminder clinic on Monday night. Amidst all the strong play between the pipes, we also saw two goaltenders that were not nearly up to the challenge...

Red Wings-Sabres quick take: steamrollin’ along

Via Kukla's Korner  |  January 16, 2012
The Detroit Red Wings knew that they could do more than earn two points against the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night, but their 5-0 win over the Sabres involved trying to set up good work habits for a back-to-back slate which continues tomorrow in Dallas (8:30 PM EST, FSD) as much as it did with setting each other up for goal after goal against a defenseless Ryan Miller (with the emphasis...

Bullet Points for Freedom

Via Buffalo Wins  |  January 18, 2012
  Much like Jerry Sullivan today, I can't be bothered to try, so here are some BULLET POINTS! * Has it occurred to anybody else that we're doing to Ryan Miller what we do to everybody in Buffalo? We like him for a while, he exceeds our expectations for a while, and then we are mad at the guy for not continuing to exceed our original expectations.  Things have pretty...
