Those are Jody Gage’s career numbers with the Buffalo Sabres despite having been in the Sabres system for 11 years. So what makes him so special?

After matching the second best start in franchise history, the Sabres put together a woeful effort as Marty Biron eared his 200th win in stylish fashion, blanking his former mates.

Under NHL rules, Myers' three-year rookie contract will kick in after his 10th game, and he'll also be able to test free agency a year earlier than most players in his draft class. The Sabres could have sent him back to his junior team in Kelowna. "He made it pretty easy," coach Lindy Ruff said. "He played real well for us.

Instead of losing Thomas Vanek for weeks, it looks like he might be ready by the weekend.  This is amazing [...] Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:42:58 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Thank_the_lord_weeks_turned_to_weekend/1369202 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Thank_the_lord_weeks_turned_to_weekend/1369202 Detroit owns the Buffalo Sabres.  There record over the last 18 games proves that – with 15-1-1 plus a tie; the dominant Red Wings were expected to continue their climb back to success this year.
