Holzer Lays A Huge Hit McNabb
Since there isn't any NHL hockey, I thought I would put up this hit by the Toronto Marlies defenseman Korbinian Holzer lays the wood to Rochester American's defenseman Brayden McNabb during the third period of Saturday's game.
Mike Augello: Kadri Scores Overtime Winner; Marlies Win 3-2 Over Amerks
The Toronto Marlies returned home after nearly two weeks on the road and gave the over 7800 fans at Ricoh Coliseum a good show, as Nazem Kadri scored twice, including the game winner at 1:06 of overtime to give the Blue and White a 3-2 victory over the Rochester Americans.
Paul Ranger scored the other Toronto goal, while Brayden McNabb and Alex Biega scored for Rochester, who...

Gauthier-Leduc focused on big year
The Buffalo Sabres are loaded with talent on the blue line.
They have nine, by their count, NHL ready defensemen vying for just 6 positions on the main roster. And face it, five of those spots are locked up which leaves four players fighting for one, Mike Weber, Alexander Sulzer, Brayden McNabb, and Adam Pardy.
Then there is Buffalo’s third round draft choice from 2010, Jerome...
McNabb motivated to make Sabres' season-opening roster
Brayden McNabb departed Buffalo at the end of last season feeling great about his game. The first-year pro played 25 games with the Sabres during several call-ups, and he was a regular on the blue line when the team finished the year. When he comes back to training camp, though, McNabb will likely be back to square one despite taking numerous steps during his rookie season. The...
GARTH: McNastier
Tyler Myers. Christian Ehrhoff. Robyn Regehr. Jordan Leopold. Reggie Sekera. Alex Sulzer. Mike Weber. Adam Pardy.
Eight, count 'em eight bonafide NHL D already have their names written on Lindy ruff;s dry erase board.
Brayden McNabb doesn't like the math. Why should he. He played in Buffalo's top 6 last season. No rookie jitters. No fear factor. No mistakes. The...
McNabb ready to make that leap
(Rick Stewart/Getty Images North America)
Defenseman Brayden McNabb is player that Sabres fans became familiar with quite fast last season.
After a strong start in AHL Rochester, McNabb earned himself a call-up in December when the injury bug began to hit the team.
His 25 game stretch in the NHL earned him the respect and admiration of the Sabres faithful for his big hitting and...
What Will Be Of The Sabres 2012-2013 Defense?
The disappointing 2011-2012 season has only been over for a little under a week, but I feel that the time is right to begin looking at what the roster may look like next season.
For this post I’m going to focus solely on the defense.
Last season the defense, for the most part, wasn’t that good. Hell, they were actually down right terrible for a large chunk of the season.
With...
GARTH: McNabb Returned To Rochester
Now that Tyler Myers has served his time, Reggie Sekera is back to 100% good health, and Alexander Sulzer is the surprise of the season, Brayden McNabb becomes the odd D man out.
Myers will return from his three game suspension on Wednesday night vs. Montreal.
GARTH: Sekera In; McNasty & Gerbe Out
Updated 11:41am EDT:
John Vogl of the Buffalo News reports that Reggie Sekera will play tonight. The odd D man out will be Brayden McNabb, not Mike Weber. Not sure I like the move to sit McNabb, what with Weber being a bit of a liability in his own end in recent games.
Nathan Gerbe will sit out his second straight game tonight.
I spoke with Nate at the rink on Friday and...
GARTH: New Lines For Florida Trip
The Sabres are on the ice right now before they head south for Florida.

Tropp-Roy-Pommer
Vanek-Hodgson-Leino
Foligno-Ennis-Stafford
McCormick-Boyes-Kaleta

Reggie Sekera, sans red "no contact" pinnie, is on the ice. Might he take the place of Mike Weber?
Brayden McNabb is still here.

No Nathan Gerbe to be seen.
GARTH: McNasty Recalled

Sabres rookie D McNabb demoted to AHL Rochester

Coach Lindy Ruff announced the move Thursday, saying McNabb has been cleared to play.
Ruff says McNabb was sent down to allow him to get additional ice time. That's unlikely to happen in...

Not all is doom and gloom in Pegulaville.
Happy 21st birthday, Zack Kassian.
You are now an AHL All Star.
Kassian will replace his teammate and badass brother, Brayden McNabb, at the AHL All Star Game in Atlantic City this weekend. McNasty is still recovering from a concussion.
Kassian has 21 points in 25 games played in Rochester this season. He has another 6 in 18 games...

Sabres University graduates yet another student to the NHL.
The Legend Of Joe Finley will write another chapter tonight on Long Island.
Finley will fill in for Brayden McNabb.
TJ Brennan was supposed to get the call. I hear he had a sub-par game vs. Toronto last night.
This is Finley's second call-up of the season....

GARTH: McNasty Boxing Day
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...
