Projecting the 2014 US Olympic hockey roster
In nine months we’ll be four years removed from the impressive run that Team USA took to the sliver medal in Vancover. While the US entered the 2010 Olympics as an underdog expected to finish behind the Swedes, Finns, Russians and Canadians, they will not enjoy the same treatment entering Sochi. In fact, the US might boast one of the most impressive rosters in the tournament when...

The curse of the Sabres captains
I've gone on record a few times on Twitter and on this site about ******** about who should be the captain. In a word: ********. I just think fans and media members take it too far when it comes to who should wear the "C" on this team. If I had a dollar for every time someone called into a radio show or a media member ******* about how this guy should be wearing the...

Jan Levine: Redden, Richards, Power Play
Will make this blog a short one and hope to get a season preview up before tomorrow's game, real life/work permitting.
Redden:
In a move that surprised no one, Wade Redden passed through waivers and was bought out. The end result of that move is that the Rangers have an additional $5.6 million in dead cap space to go along with the $1.6 million from Chris Drury's buyout...

Grand Forks, ND – Earlier this week, Ben
Rosen tweeted upon arriving in Grand Forks, “just landed in North Dakota…
nothing out here but 4 points.” That’s
not going to happen because UND took game one from the Terriers 4-2.

The Sabres fell to the Bruins in tonight's EA sports simulation. The Sabres tied the game at one, but Ville Leino's goal was the only one Buffalo scored.
The Sabres are now 4-2 in the simulated preseason and have just one game left, tomorrow against Columbus.
Here is the Sabres all-time team that we have voted in over the past week:

Sabres, Wild & Rangers Could Be Adversely Affected by New CBA the Most
James O'Brien of Pro Hockey Talk breaks down a report courtesy of Craig Custance of ESPN in which teams would be in salary cap hell if the owners get the CBA in their model, which would lower the salary cap from $70 million to around $54 million. Here is the breakdown for the New York Rangers:Rangers: Would be $13.1M above $54M.
Custance assumes that New York would need...
Rangers Could Have Huge Olympic Representation in 2014
Craig Custance at ESPN Insider takes a look at what the American and Canadian Olympic teams might look like in 2014 and if he's correct there should be plenty of Rangers representation.For Team USA, Custance says Ryan Callahan is a lock to return and will be one of the players considered for captain....obviously I'm biased, but there could not be a better representation of...
Buffalo Sabres due for a much-needed growth spurt
By Alexander Monaghan

Coming out of the lockout of 2004-2005, the Buffalo Sabres were not followers, they were leaders. Their young, exuberant team — led by spark-plugs Daniel Briere and Chris Drury — came out of the gate with a bang, racing past the competition in their most dominant display of their 42-year history. Those teams won...

General manager Darcy Regier said Monday that he's already informed the player's agent that he intends to open contract talks in the very near future.
The Sabres selected Grigorenko with the 12th pick in the NHL draft on Friday, and believe the Russian-born...

In goal for the Los Angeles Kings, #32 Mike Richter?
Every Rangers fan who followed the team through that magical 1994 season has a nostalgic affection for Mike Richter. He was the reason myself, and I’m sure countless others decided to put those bulky pads on and have chunks of frozen rubber shot at them. He embodied everything that Rangers fans loved about that team. To say that his career was cut tragically short by concussions...
Thank You!
I had this acceptance speech written for a while but I made a few tweeks. I think it will work. #LazyGM
First and foremost, I’d like to say I never actually thought I’d win the Stanley Cup, GM of the Year, Artvoice Best Twitter Feed Award. So many people have helped us me along the way in the organization on Twitter I feel I should acknowledge some of them.

Kevin Freiheit: On this day...
6 years ago from tonight marks a memorable playoff game against Philadelphia. The Sabres finished off the Flyers in a game 6 beating, scoring 7 times to knock out Philly.
Chris Drury and Mike Grier each had four points.
Miller stopped 21 of 22 shots in the win. Robert Esche was pulled after allowing five goals on 17 shots.
Here is a video of one of the goals (quality is...
Kevin Freiheit: This Day in History
Not only is today Cody McCormick's birthday, but it is mine as well.
I came up with a few games that have happened on this day in Sabres history. If you have any more, leave them in the comments and I'll add them in.
2007 - The Sabres defeated the Islanders by a 4-2 score to take a 3-1 series lead in the first round of the NHL playoffs. Chris Drury scored a pair of...
Blue Collar Approach Reason for Rangers Success
Michael McCarthy at USA Today takes a look at the Rangers blu collar approach which has taken them to the top seed in the Eastern Conference..."The Rangers hit, forecheck, block shots, then hit you again. To the delight of a fan base that spent decades seeing Ranger stars pushed get around , they stand up for each other — and drop the gloves early and often. Prust tied for...
Just remember what we are missing out on
As fans and even athletes, we breathe every single breath of hockey for games like tonight.
The playoffs.
The playoffs mean everything to anyone associated with hockey. The weather seasons may change on the 21st of every 3rd month, but when you walk outside, you can't tell or feel that the change went down on that 21st day. However, you can when you add the word "post...
The core, part deux
Almost every Sabres fan looks back on the summer of 2007 with scorn.
You know, that summer Darcy Regier let Danny Briere and Chris Drury leave via free agency, essentially destroying a team that'd won the President's Trophy the year before. While Regier's moves were unpopular (and that's a major understatement), there was a little bit of logic behind them...

Rangers to Buyout Drury, Again

Jaromir Jagr Served as Rangers Captain Between Mark Messier and Chris Drury
Ryan Callahan serves as the Rangers' captain nowadays, and by donning the "C," he joins a very elite group. Prior to Callahan, it was Chris Drury who held the role, starting in 2008. Drury decided to hang up the skates, though, which paved the way for the 26-year-old Callahan to take over. Perhaps the most recognizable captain in Rangers history is Mark Messier, who...
