Salvaging Positives from the 2013 Philadelphia Flyers
It goes without saying that this season left much to be desired. However, I have compiled a list of reasons to be excited for the Flyers in the 2013-2014 season based on bright spots from this disappointing 2013 campaign. They are ordered from 5 to 1, with 1 being the most promising. If you disagree, voice your opinion in the comments below and let us know which order you would...
Grading the Sabres: 2013 report card
A fired coach, traded captain, booing fans and missing the playoffs typically doesn’t not make for a very successful season. That was certainly the case for the 2013 Buffalo Sabres.
While there were a few bright spots amongst the doom and gloom, the lockout shortened season is certainly one to forget for the Sabres. Before shutting the door completely I wanted to grade out...
GARTH: You Come Back Bigger And Stronger
Losing sucks. I hate it. You hate it. The players hate it.
Steve Ott hates it with a passion.
O'm thankful for the time I've gotten to spend talking about such things as bonding, success, strategy and leadership with Ott.
On Friday night, I could see that he was down after the 2-1 shootout win. He still made time to reflect and to craft a positive from the negatives...
Buffalo snaps another Penguins' win streak with 4-2 win
Once again the Buffalo Sabres faced the hottest team in the league on the road, and once again they emerged with a win. The effort was certainly better for the Pittsburgh Penguins who lost on April 2nd to the Sabres, snapping a 15 game winning streak, but Buffalo grinded out a win despite already being eliminated from playoff contention.Ryan Miller stopped 40 of 42 shots, earning...
QUICK CAP: Buffalo secures 11th seed in East with 4-2 win.
Congrats to the Sabres and their fans.
Here is a sick shot by Iginla:
In somewhat not good news Brooks Orpik left the game with a lower body injury and did not return.
Steve Ott scored the GWG for Sabres if you wanted to know for whatever reason.
Game 46: Penguins-Sabres Preview
Can Jack Edwards please call this game? Steve Ott and Matt Cooke on the ice at the same time. Edwards would be so confused seeing two versions of Sirhan Sirhan on the ice. It would terrify him. I’d say that it would cause him to lose his mind if that was something that hadn’t already…
GARTH: Ott Wants Jets To Feel The Way He Feels
Buffalo's playoff hopes ended on Friday night when they were thrashed by the NY Rangers on home ice. The eighth place Rangers pasted the New Jersey Devils on Sunday afternoon, thus ending the the playoff hopes of yet another Eastern Conference team.
Steve Ott and the Sabres are in spoiler mode right now.
The Sabres will host the ninth place Winnipeg Jets on Monday night. The jets now...
Projected 2014 Buffalo Sabres Roster: The Wingers
After the centers were announced on Wednesday, it’s time to get into the men who flank the pivots. The Sabres aren’t too deep at wing in the system, and they get a bit thinner heading into 2013/2014.
It’s time to decide who stays and who goes on the outside. Again, this is based on who’s in the system and doesn’t consider who the team may bring in via trade and/or free...
GARTH: Ott Will Never Forget
No player in the Buffalo Sabres room can stand in the pocket and deliver like Steve Ott. Heâs the heart beat and pulse of the Sabres room. After todayâs brief skate at the Northtowns Center, Ott captured the essence and the raw emotions associated with the tragic events that transpired in Boston on Monday. Nearly twelve hours after the Sabres had left Boston, Ott was still...
Sabres Need to Regain Their Identity
What happened to this Buffalo franchise over the course of the last decade? During the honeymoon era of the Darcy Regier and Lindy Ruff era the Sabres were a ragged bunch, who were just as satisfied blocking shots and finishing checks as they would have been scoring goals. Those late 90’s teams were relentless, grinding out all 60 minutes of each contest as if it was their...
Sabres-Bruins Preview
In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, the Boston Bruins will try to help the city forget about the tragic events for at least a few hours.
Two days after their game was postponed following the explosions, the Bruins return to the ice to host the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night.
Boston (26-11-4) was scheduled to meet Ottawa on Monday night at TD Garden, but the NHL...
The Weekly Buzz- Don’t You Dare Be Realistic
The Main Event- Being Realistic Is Frowned Upon In This Establishment
Why is it that every athlete that joins a new team is expected to be unreasonably impractical? While league-sponsored hats that players don at press conferences claim they are composed of 100% polyester, I think it is more likely 50% polyester, 40% wishful thinking & 10% conformity for good measure....
Sabres Steve Ott tries to lick Jeff Halpern's face during face-off (Video)
We've posted some pretty strange videos over the years but this one starring Buffalo Sabres Steve Ott is possibly the most random.
During last Thursday's Montreal Canadiens/Buffalo Sabres match, Ott was in the face-off circle with Montreal center Jeff Halpern and that's when Steve decided to do a little bit of gamesmanship.
Watch as Steve sticks his tongue out...
Buffalo's Steve Ott demonstrates textbook embellishment
Speaking of clowns. This is a textbook embellishment. You can't tell me that a big guy like Steve Ott who is 6'0" and 193 pounds, should be able to be knocked over this easily, no way, it's not possible. This should be a penalty on Steven Ott for embellishment. I also believe that it's probably not a smart play by Flyers defenseman Oliver Lauridsen because he...
Ott tries to get a 'lick' on former Stars teammate
Back when Steve Ott and Jeff Halpern were teammates with the Dallas Stars, it's not known how close the two were off the ice.
But when the two faced off against each other as opponents on Thursday night, we saw a glimpse of just how close they get on the ice.
Ott, now a center for the Buffalo Sabres, has always been known as one of the best agitators in the NHL. And on Thursday...
Steve Ott is Right!

Boos and Bo-hoos, Because it’s Buffalo?
Commentary on the State of Hockey Heaven by John Wingspread Howell
As the strike shortened NHL season limps to an end here in “Hockey Heaven,” Sabres fans all agree that it’s more like hockey hell. The commentary on social media and sports talk radio has become increasingly toxic.
One of the key phrases repeated, not...
Steve Ott tries to lick Jeff Halpern’s half-shield
Buffalo Sabres forward Steve Ott has been in the news quite a bit lately. A few days ago he made headlines because he was complaining about fans booing/mocking the Sabres for playing terribly. On Thursday night, Ott took things to a new level of weird, trying to lick Montreal Canadiens forward Jeff Halpern’s half-shield. What possessed Ott to do this, I have no idea, but...
Steve Ott tries to lick Jeff Halpern’s visor before face-off (Video)
Buffalo Sabres center Steve Ott is known for doing some pretty strange things, and he added to that reputation on Thursday night. Before a face-off against the Montreal Canadiens, Ott tried to lick Montreal’s Jeff Halpern’s visor.
Is that his idea of trying to gain an advantage? If I was Halpern, it would probably work. It’s one thing for a guy to try to get in your head by...
Steve Ott wants to lick Jeff Halpern's visor
Steve Ott, agitator extraordinaire, loves to stir things up. Whether it's about fans booing in Buffalo which caused an interesting and kind of hilarious exchange between him, his fiancee and Buffalo's beat writer, or if it's trying to gain an edge before a draw, he'll do what it takes to get under your skin.
This time prior to a faceoff, Ott tried to lick Jeff...
Kevin Freiheit: How the Sabres got their name
First of all, did you see what Steve Ott did in last night's game against Montreal? Watch the entire video:
I've never seen anyone do that before, and I didn't catch it during the game. Thought it was pretty funny.

Latest Face-off Tactic In The NHL Involves Licking Your Opponents Visor
This is pure gold. Sabres forward Steve Ott was in a faceoff in the third period against Habs center Jeff Halpern, and he went with a rather unorthodox approach in an attempt to win said faceoff. The approach included licking Halpern’s visor, not kidding. Check out the video to see it for yourself. Unfortunately Ott may need to find another tactic, as he lost the faceoff.

Buffalo Sabre Steve Ott LICKED Canadien Jeff Halpern

Steve Ott tries licking Jeff Halpern's visor on faceoff (Video)
Buffalo Sabres center Steve Ott was caught trying to lick the visor of Montreal Canadiens center Jeff Halpern when the two were lined up for a faceoff in the third period of Thursday night's game at the First Niagara Center.
This would seem to be a most unusual, and undoubtedly creepy, way to win a faceoff. Fortunately, Ott's tongue never made contact with Halpern'...
