Equipment bags were strewn about the Buffalo Sabres locker room today as they packed up to start a home-and-home series in Toronto on Tuesday night. It’s a...

For the past 24 hours or so there has been a rumor roaming around the internet about an “imminent” trade involving the Sabres’ Derek Roy. Â Well after doing some digging I’m here to tell you that while a trade involving Roy is not out of question, the reports by a certain site and others saying that a “blockbuster” deal is close are not true.Â...

With the dark cloud surrounding the Buffalo Sabres (18-18-5) these days, you would think that they were in last place and the season was already over. In reality, the Sabres are a talented team that has suffered from a tremendously unlucky run of bad injuries. And they still sit only five points out of a playoff spot and seven points out of the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference...

It would be foolish to say that Ryan Miller overall has played well this season, because he hasn’t. The defense has had way more than its share of breakdowns. But we all keep hearing about how the NHL is now first and foremost a scoring league.
With tonight’s 2-0 loss to Toronto, the Sabres have scored two goals or less in eight of their past ten games. These forwards...

Eleven. That is how many goals the Buffalo Sabres have in their last five games. If you take away the shocking offensive output from Tuesday against Edmonton, that leaves you with seven goals in four games. Compare that to the fifteen, or twelve if you do not count Tuesday, that the team has given up. It does not take a rocket scientist to realize that being outscored 15-11 (12-7...

Gotta say. I saw very little humour in the cartoon comparison of Ryan Miller past and present, that the Buffalo News chose to run today. In fact, I thought that it lacked class.
I'd share it with you in this space, however, I don't wish to pump the tires of the cartoonist or the paper.Snicker and sneer all you like. Fact is, Miller is the #1 goalie on this Sabres team...

It was an early “must-win” for the Buffalo Sabres as they ventured north of the border to face the hated Toronto Maple Leafs, but once again the team came out flat and were again out-worked as they fell to the Maple Leafs 2-0 at the Air Canada Center. Goaltender Jonas Gustavsson stopped 32 shots as the Leafs beat the Sabres for the second time in their three meetings...

What can you say about the Jet’s 2-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night other than the tale the stats tell? Well, I guess if you were an actual reporter, could talk to players, get the vibe of the arena, etc., really you could say quite a lot. Hm. Well, I digress. Both the first and third periods were scoreless, then the Sabres went up midway through the second...

Time for the real Buffalo Sabres to please stand up and be counted.
What better place to do so than in the snakepit otherwise known as Toronto?
Lindy Ruff's team is starting the second half of the 11/12 season, with exactly the same record-- 18-18-5--- that it possessed at the midway point of the 10/11 season.
For that reason, the Playoffs start tonight for Buffalo.

Thomas Vanek has suffered an upper body injury.
The injury occurred on the last shift of the first period when Vanek was taken hard into the corner glass by Dion Phaneuf. Vanek appeared to be injured after the hit, however, finished his shift in obvious pain.
Vanek did not answer the bell for period two. He skated only 6 shifts in the period for only 4:00 TOI.

The rumours are amplifying about Derek Roy's days in Buffalo.
Hard to trade an injured player.

True or false:
Derek Roy's name has been linked to perpetual trade talks?
True.
Is there are trade in the works between Buffalo and another NHL team for Roy's services?
I've been told by a couple of relaible sources that the Sabres have indeed been engaged with a couple of teams for Derek Roy.
Roy was injured on Friday night in Carolina certainly throws...
