Change in store for Sabres?

By Jon on February 12, 2010

By Jon
As the headline says, there may be a change in store for the Sabres organization.
A big deadline deal? Front-office shakeup? A plan to fix all of the embarrassing typos on the “Headlines” placard as you walk into the arena?

Defenseless

By Jon on December 31, 2009

Not that anybody out there thinks the NHL’s rules on shots to the head are remotely adequate, but watch this video from Wednesday’s AHL tilt between Albany and Adirondack…

This is the first time I’ve seen a hit like that from that angle, and it was enough to turn my stomach.

A View from the Roost: The buzz is back?

By Jon on October 17, 2009

Plenty of things to talk about, so I’m going to eschew a piece of Nagelhoutian prose in favor of some bullet points. Hope you don’t mind.
- First thing’s first:

Whoa. What’s not to love about that video?
Opponent runs goalie. Teammate pummels opponent. Just like it should be, with a power play to boot. Yes, please.

Ever since Katebits linked to this page a few weeks ago, I’ve found my new internet time-killer — looking up quotes on imdb from my favorite TV characters before breaking into hysterical, uncontrollable laughter.
It’s great. It’s like re-watching all of your favorite shows, but only with the funny parts. I mean, just try reading Tracy Jordan’s page and [...]

I know Chris is working on an analysis-based post on last nights Hall of Fame game, but let’s be honest — we can all agree on the star of the game.
Oh, they are gorgeous. I realize I’m falling into the NFL’s vicious marketing trap, but I have a pretty good idea where I’m going to blow my next [...]

By Jon on July 25, 2009

By Jon
Memo to Buffalo News TV and radio critic Alan Pergament: Get off your high horse, please and thanks.

It was shocking to see Channel 4 do a story Tuesday that speculated that the naked video of ESPN’s Erin Andrews shot through a peephole and put on the Internet may have been shot [...]

As I was reading Ryan’s post on Jonny Flynn yesterday, I nearly died when I read this line…
- Flynn’s hometown paper had great coverage of the Draft, with sports editor Tim Schmitt making the trip to New York City to cover the proceedings. The entire front page of the paper was dedicated to Flynn, and this [...]
