On Nov. 15, the Sabres sat atop the Northeast Division and third in the Eastern Conference with an 11-6-0 record. They had 22 points, one point ahead...

If Buffalo, NY had its own official paper currency, its a lead pipe cinch that the faces of Brayden McNabb and Zack Kassian would appear on it. McNabb has become a true blue and gold folk hero in Buffalo this season. Ditto Kassian. Two young bucks, with blue collar DNA coarsing through their veins, busting their asses, imposing their iron wills to make the Sabres a winning team. More on Kassian...

It's about time.
It was so nice to see the Sabres get the win against Washington last night, especially since they went out to a 4-0 lead. I was hoping they would get a few more goals, but Buffalo got the win, so I'm not going to complain.
I loved how the Sabres D was involved in big plays throughout the game, and Christian Ehrhoff's wrist shot...

Congratulations Buffalo Sabres, you have done it again. You have built up a large lead early in the game, this time by going up against the Washington Capitals 4-0 in the first period. However, this time you have managed to one up yourself, and only allow them to half your lead.
Sabres ended up winning 4-2, and they managed to successfully fail at their normal tatics for losing...

from Chuck Gormley of CSNWashington, The good news for disgruntled Caps fans is that Mike Green could be back in the lineup as soon as Friday night against the Buffalo Sabres.
“I just need a few skates to get my lungs and my legs back and I’ll be back in no time,” Green said.
The bad news is that the significant groin injury he suffered on Nov. 11 against the...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — It started poorly: a penalty on Roman Hamrlik just nine seconds in. It got worse: a goal by Jason Pominville on the ensuing power play 42 seconds later. What happened after that almost defies words, as the Washington Capitals put on a listless, lethargic and lackluster performance ...

The frustrated clubs square off Monday night at Buffalo in the first of two meetings in a five-day span.
The Sabres (16-15-3) haven't exactly played...
