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 [...]

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?
None of the above. After just two years in Portland, the Sabres AHL affiliate may be moving to Albany, [...]

Portland Set to Face Rochester Tonight

By Ryan on November 12, 2009

by Ryan
The first time the Portland Pirates came to Buffalo they sure put on a show. It wasn’t the offensive explosion fans were expecting, but a fight-filled contest with the Albany River Rats with a last-second goal was enough to send HSBC Arena crowd of 11,114 home happy despite the 4-3 shootout loss.
Portland got a two point [...]

Portland Rock City

By Ryan on October 22, 2009

by Ryan
We haven’t talked about the Sabres farm team much this season, but when we have it’s been about suspensions. Yesterday saw another Pirate get a few games off their workload, with Cody McCormick suspended for five games. Maine Hockey Journal has the story:
McCormick, 26, was involved in an incident midway into the third period during [...]

Joe DiPenta Goes Yard

By Ryan on October 6, 2009

by Ryan

Amazingly, that grounder to second only cost him a game. It’s good to see some grit on the farm, that’s something that is sure to rub off on the youngsters. Still, that could have been very, very dangerous.

Links (But Nothing About Golf)

By Chris on August 11, 2009

By Chris

-As UB Football Camp opens up, I would assume that this is the reason why players like Roost-favorite Naaman Roosevelt will never get the chance to blog.
(UPDATE: Speak of the devil, Roosevelt has been named to the Fred Biletnikoff Award watch list, presented annually to the top receiver in college football.)
-New developments in the Patrick [...]

Roundup!: Maybin, Teppo and Tom Servo

By Chris on August 4, 2009

By Chris
Quick news of the day:
-Buffalo Rumblings has a nice update on the Aaron Maybin Situation and what’s tying things up. To summarize:
We wrote last week that there was no end in sight for this holdout to end; a week later, that remains the brutal truth.
Hopefully the rookies sandwiching Maybin will sign soon, allowing him to finally [...]

- The Portland Pirates have announced a few of their scheduled home dates for the 2009/10 season, including one of two games at HSBC Arena. Thursday, November 12 Portland will [...]

The Maine Blueline Blues

By Ryan on March 10, 2009

by Ryan
Last week prior to the trade deadline I asked what Darcy would need to do with Portland. Now that we know just what has happened at the deadline, it would make sense to assess how the Sabres and Pirates General Manager did. Here’s what I said last week:
However, I’m just not sure how much Darcy Regier [...]

Farmhand Needed

By Ryan on March 3, 2009

by Ryan
There has been so much talk regarding what Darcy Regier will do tomorrow that it is hard to write about it any more. The angles have been covered, the team’s best interests discussed, and many of the possibilities have been examined. So have we missed anything in all this trade talk? Well, maybe we have.
Chris Roy [...]

Who is Nanerpus?

By Ryan on February 11, 2009

by Ryan
Now for the second objective… which prospect should be named “Nanerpus”?

My first guess is Tim Kennedy, but I suppose that’s not fair because he didn’t knock his own teeth out. The cut on his lip looked pretty bad last night, but he said it was “okay” during the postgame interviews.
So who else? I honestly don’t [...]

More on Portland

By Ryan on February 11, 2009

by Ryan
Just a few other thoughts on the Pirates game. I’m still working on a recap, but those aren’t exactly conducive to opinion, are they?
- Okay, I’m going to just say it: Salty Pete is freaking creepy. He walked by after the game when we were waiting for the interview room to open up, and it wasn’t [...]
