Last Chance Mancari

By Chris on March 7, 2010

By Chris

Mark Mancari is in the lineup tonight as the Sabres take on the Rangers. With Drew Stafford out with an injury (this seems to happen a lot), it looks like Mancari will see some time on one of the top two lines and on the poweplay.
He’s torn it up in the AHL over the last [...]

Thank You

By Chris on March 4, 2010

Just wanted to take the time to to thank everyone who participated in yesterday’s mega live blog. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Maybe we can do something on that large scale again come July 1 (when it will be warm enough for Darcy to enjoy his creamsicle).
In the meantime, [...]

Fresh Blood

By Chris on March 3, 2010

By Chris

Deadline Day is when fans can really start getting excited about their team again. Whether it’s from acquiring players or addition through subtraction, hopefully your general manager did something that will improve your club.
Darcy Regier improved the Sabres today.
He traded Nathan Paetsch and a second round pick to Columbus for Raffi Torres and then moved Clarke [...]

Wants and Needs: Toronto Maple Leafs

By Chris on March 3, 2010

By Chris
At 3 p.m. today, the Sabres’ roster will be set for the stretch run and the playoffs. Until then, general manager Darcy Regier should be working the phones and looking at ways to improve this team. And after watching last night’s game, the list of improvements could be longer than a 9-year-old’s Christmas list.
What we’ve been [...]

They’re Back (Not a Dinosaur Story)

By Chris on March 2, 2010

By Chris

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a Sabres game to take in. Not that I’m complaining. The hockey we saw in the Olympics was awesome.
But tonight we get back into the swing of things with 22 games left, starting with the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight.
A majority of the team is fresh and the rest should really benefit everyone. [...]

Wants and Needs: St. Louis Blues

By Chris on March 2, 2010

Tomorrow is D-Day 2010. Welcome to “Wants and Needs” where we look at the rosters of non-playoff contenders and find rental players that might help the Sabres. Today we purge the St. Louis Blues.

The likely suspects:
Paul Kariya (12 goals, 29 points, $6 million cap hit)
Keith Tkachuk (12 goals, 28 points, $2.125 million cap hit )
Alexander Steen (15 [...]

Wants and Needs: Florida Panthers

By Chris on March 1, 2010

By Chris
The NHL Trade Deadline is Wednesday at 3 p.m., which means there’s not a lot of time left for Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier to evaluate both his roster and the rosters of teams looking to sell. The Sabres should probably be looking for a top-six scorer and a powerplay quarterback. If they can acquire [...]

The Hammer Returns

By Chris on March 1, 2010

By Chris

The Sabres haven’t been the same physically since Pat Kaleta went out with a foot injury on Feb. 1. Now, it looks like their X-Factor is ready to return.
We’ve seen an evolution in Kaleta’s game over the last three years. He went from a missile who would take himself out of position for a hit to [...]

The Aftermath

By Chris on March 1, 2010

By Chris

That was painful.
The look on Miller’s face said it all. They wanted that game so bad…and it just had to be Crosby, didn’t it?
It’s still sinking in, but let’s face it: No one expected Team USA to be in that game. On paper, they were maybe the fourth best team in the Olympics and for them [...]

We’re working on some other stuff, but for now, here’s what we’ve been reading and watching.

- If this turns out to be the last Olympics for women’s hockey, at least the Canadians went out with a bang.
- Ryan Miller and the U.S. men’s hockey team play at 3 p.m. today against Finland. If you’re in Buffalo and [...]
