Kevin Maguire Open Thread: Bruins as Sabres
If you’re too young to remember Kevin Maguire, I feel sorry for you. He was a beast and he simply loved to fight.
Dave Snuggerud Open Thread: Florida at Buffalo
I knew I had played the whole “Paul Cyr was cool because he was shot in the abdomen while in a cab in the Dominican Republic and he was never really the same” card before, so I went with a guy nicknamed “Snuggy” instead.
Snuggerud may have played a brief three...
Proof that billboards work? Jauron relieved of duties.
A joke, obviously.
But the Dick Jauron firing came a year too late for most Bills fans. Now the Bills will have to promote Perry Fewell or Bobby April as a “placeholder” while the rebuilding process starts yet again.
I think April survive the “interim head coach...
Mike Foligno Open Thread: Sabres at Flyers
Amazing what a difference some effort makes! After snoozing through a 3-1 win against Edmonton Wednesday night, Buffalo came out and looked like they actually cared last night in their 2-1 shootout win over Calgary.
Maybe it was the ususal Friday night energy of the crowd, but the...
Pat LaFontaine Open Thread: Flames at Sabres
Like it could be any other…
I’ve put enough words up about LaFontaine in the past, but let me just say that with the possible exception of 2005-06 there was never a more enjoyable year for me, as a fan, than the 1992-93 season.
LaFontaine had an incredible 148 points that...
Forecast Friday
For those counting, that is now a two-week losing streak. Things have a way of evening out in the gambling world, and the Gambling God’s took revenge on everyone last week by allowing Tampa Bay to beat Green Bay, thus ruining every three-team teaser wagered in America. It...
Calgary at Buffalo Tonight
Funny thing happened while perusing the Flames roster…
Calgary has an 11-4-1 record and stand 5th in the West with games in hand over everyone ahead of them. They’re playing great hockey, so I expected some player stats to jump off the page at me when I was looking at...
Random hockey thoughts that can’t wait until tomorrow
Clarke MacArthur is a good guy. He’s a clean player, and has no reputation as the type who would deliberately try to injure someone. And his concern for Liam Reddox was evident in the replay. All that being said, MacArthur should be and will face a fine and suspension for...
Gerry Meehan Open Thread: Oilers at Sabres
Boy oh boy, but No. 15 for the Sabres is fraught with suck.
When Zubaz, Dixon Ward, Lou Franceschetti, and Randy Wood are the big names you know you have issues.
So I kicked it back to all-the-way old school and went with Gerry Meehan, an original Sabre.
Meehan may have only played...
Mair’s Office Gets Relocated
Looks like Adam Mair will be likely heading to Portland as he has cleared waivers.
I have to admit to being a bit surprised he made it through, but then again most teams have their fourth-line-guy-who-tries-really-hard-and-makes-750K-per-year-and-likes-to-fight. So, he’s off...
Vacancy in Mair’s Office
What’s a person to make of this?
Adam Mair being waived seems to be a two-pronged issue to me. First, I can’t believe he went over Matt Ellis or Nathan Paetsch. I tend to think Mair is a better hockey player than Paetsch, but perhaps the versatility of someone who plays...
Dave Hannan Open Thread: Sabres at Bruins
Yeah, it’s Dave Hannan.
Look, I know that Rene Robert wore No. 14. I know the role he played as one of the “French Connection,” and I know his number is in the rafters.
Still, with all the hockey I watched as a kid I never saw Robert do something as exciting as...

Yuri Khmylev Open Thread: Flyers at Sabres
Jiri Novotny, Vyacheslov Kozlov, or the EuroTrain? An easy choice, thank you.
Khmylev’s career in the NHL may have been a relatively brief one, but he was blessed to play left wing with the most dynamic duo in Sabres history in their finest season. In 1992-93, Pat LaFontaine...

Forecast Friday
Thank you, NFL schedule makers, for giving us a weeks reprieve from the Bills. If only these things rolled around more often. When we meet again next week we’ll have nine weeks left in the Dick Jauron era, and the Trent Edwards watch will stand at nine weeks remaining to...

Philadelphia at Buffalo tonight
Last year was a tough one for Sabres fans, what with the Sabres missing the playoffs and all. But one thing besides the playoffs that has stuck with me was the Sabres 0-4 record against the Flyers last year. After the Leafs, which has really become a one-sided joke of a rivalry...

Buffalo Sabres: Hard Work Ahead?
Before the season started there were a couple stark dividing points on the calendar; the road trip in January, the Olympic break in February, a packed March with 16 games in 31 days, and what was looking like a brutal November schedule immediately following an easy stretch that just...

Jody Gage open thread: Islanders at Buffalo tonight
16 games. Three goals. Three assists. Six points.
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?
Way back in the day Buffalo had a special relationship with Rochester and...

Gilbert Perreault Open Thread: Sabres at Islanders
Just a quick word on last night’s game before we talk about Bert.
If the Sabres had played a real hockey team last night they would have lost by five goals. Fortunately, they played something called the “Maple Leaves,” which resulted in a 3-2 Buffalo win. The...
