GARTH: Leino Lung Ailment
Weeks ago, when oft-injured forward Ville Leino left the starting lineup, many speculated as to the extent of his injury. Leino and the team were quick to say that the injury was nit related to the winger's recurring hip ailment.
Today after practice, Sabres interim coach, Ron Rolston, shed light on Leino's injury. According to Sabres.com, Rolston says that Leino has been...
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...
Kevin Freiheit: No white flag yet
Well, more bad news for the Sabres today. Forward Ville Leino's season could be over:

Leino played in just eight games so far this season, totaling two goals and four assists.

GARTH: Miller In; Leino Out
Ryan Miller gets his net afterall. Just a little cloak and daggerry by Ron Rolston.
Miller led his team onto the ice, therefore, he is your starter.
Ville Leino was missing from warm-ups. He left the ice early in the third period in Saturday night's shootout loss to the Capitals. He returned to the ice at the end of regulation after leaving with an abdominal/torso ailment.
Kevin Freiheit: Buffalo battles Boston
After blowing a two goal lead and losing in a shootout to Washington on Saturday, the Sabres are right back at it tonight as they host Boston at the First Niagara Center.
The Sabres are coming off a pair of shootout losses to the Panthers and Capitals, and have fallen to 2-8-2 against the Southeast. Ville Leino scored a pair of goals in Saturdayâs loss, but said the team...
Reaction (w/ Audio): Sabres Fall To Capitals

It’s getting to the point where it’s just the same story on a different day. The Sabres play well enough to build a lead, usually of the two goal variety, but then one thing happens that causes a full scale collapse to unfold.
On Saturday it was yet another shorthanded goal allowed that began the unraveling of the Sabres as they saw a...
GARTH: Leino On The Line
1st Period:
That, by far, was Ville Leino's best period of hockey as a Buffalo Sabre.
His effort, dogged determination and creativity were on full display for all to see. Looked like vintage Philly Leino from 2010 when the Sabres feel for the guy's sick mitts. Leaders lead, and Leino definitely led his team's attack in period one. I like what I'm seeing.

GARTH: Roster Roullette
Sabres fans have no fear, Ville Leino is here.
Curb your enthusiasm. Your emotion is overwhelming me right now.
It took 26 games to get to this point, however, the Ott-Grigorenko-Leino trio is about to make its regular season debut. If the preseason Blue and Gold scrimmage is an early indicator of things to come, the 9-25-23 line is a power line that will bring needed jam...
Sabres D Sulzer done for season
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Alexander Sulzer will miss the rest of the season after having surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right knee.

Tyler Ennis, who missed Tuesday’s game against New York, and Ville Leino, who hasn’t...
GARTH: Velcome Back, Ville

GARTH: Memory Leino
The good news for Sabres fans is that offensive help, in the form of Ville Leino, will likely appear on the ice in Buffalo tonight.
The not-so-good-news is that Ron Rolston will have to be creative and will have to play Tetrus with his current lineup.
If Leino plays tonight, and it appears very likely that he will, Rolston and Regier will have to augment the roster in order to add Lein...

Should Regier’s work draw criticism?
Darcy Regier’s recent contract extension is well known by fans throughout Sabres nation. What was unknown is the exact length of that new deal. Pierre LeBrun’s ESPN blog from yesterday initially indicated that it was a five-year extension before that information was later removed from the post.
The removal of that information doesn’t indicate whether or not LeBrun’s information...

GARTH: Leino Iffy vs. Flyers
Pat Kaleta may just be the replacement for Ville Leino on Sunday, in the event that the former Flyer cannot play against his former team.
Leino was hobbled by an existing leg injury (believed to be an ankle or groin) on Friday. He didn't skate with the team on Saturday morning. Ruff that that Leino will skate on Sunday morning at First Niagara Center. If the leg is fine,...
