Does anyone else want to write a 1000-word post on Tim Connolly and how great he’s been and how his contract looks now and how he always gets criticized when he struggles but never fully appreciated when he’s great but is afriad that if they post it his streak might end and it would be [...]

In the Circle

In the Circle

By Ryan on January 8, 2010

by Ryan

It’s hard to find photos of players taking faceoffs.
They don’t look cool or make the newspapers, but winning in the circle is an important part of the game. This year it’s been easy to praise Paul Gaustad for his faceoff proficiency. At 61.2% he is among the league leaders in faceoff win percentage, but not [...]

One of the best parts about the HSBC Arena press box are the photos. Perhaps if I was in it for an event demanded more than weak coke and stale popcorn it would be the food, but for me it is the pictures of great moments in Sabres history.
This year there looks to be quite a [...]

Missing Link

By Ryan on October 31, 2009

by Ryan

God I love that goal.
I think I’ve watched the replay at least a dozen times. It’s the perfect transition goal: an active forecheck creates a turnover and makes the opposition pay. It’s a simple concept that’s as complicated as it gets in real time.
The anticipation necessary to see that pass and see Connolly free in [...]

Quick Question

By Ryan on March 12, 2009

by Ryan
If you were to file a missing persons report for Jason Pominville, how many Buffalo Police Department officers would let you do it?

Well, the ones that watch hockey sure would. Jason has one goal in his last 11 games, and only two in his last 29. Yes, I checked that three times. Twenty-nine games. That’s [...]

A View from the Roost: Game in Hand

By Ryan on March 7, 2009

by Ryan
There were plenty of things that made Tim Connolly’s four point night happen.

I suppose it’s only rational to begin with what Tim Connolly did for himself, so let’s start there. Simply put, the shift he had to set up the first goal was absolutely phenomenal. He goes hard into the corner, lays a hit on [...]

Why Timmy Stayed

By Ryan on March 6, 2009

by Ryan

Tim Connolly is scheduled to be a Buffalo Sabre until the summer of 2011.
There are a lot of people who would have viewed this as crazy talk back in October. In fact, even today there are a lot of people who don’t like the fact that Connolly is under contract for another two seasons. However, something [...]

Long Lost Brothers?

By Ryan on February 23, 2009

by Ryan
I’m slowly working my way through the Free Darko book, and I came across something that I wanted to share with you guys. The section about Gerald Wallace and Josh Smith sounded really familiar, which is odd because I’m not a huge basketball fan.
So here it is: Gerald Wallace is Tim Connolly.

Now it’s difficult [...]

Climbing the Ladder

By Ryan on February 7, 2009

by Ryan
I’m struggling with what I want to say about last night’s game. I think we all know how important that win was, and what it does for the Sabres in the standings. Still, who was the star of the show? What was the main story? In a 3-2 victory, what was the one thing people [...]

Mike Milbury is a Great Analyst When He’s Not an Incompetent Human Being

By Ryan on February 6, 2009

by Ryan
You probably can’t hear this, but listen anyway.

That’s Mike Milbury calling Tim Connolly a “self centered little dink.” To quote Sabres Edge
“When he’s not injured or acting like a self-centered little dink, he’s a very good player,” Milbury said during highlights on NESN.
I think Anne at Sabretooth’s House makes a good point about this: no one is [...]
