‘Financial terms were not disclosed, but team ownership said Wednesday that the deal should be completed within the next few days.’

Hey, guys, do you ever get that annoying double-stream of urine? You know, one branch is in the bowl while the other is trickling down the side of the toilet?

'The Sabres have been emulating the buffalo on their uniform sweaters lately. Put them in a fight against a fierce, snarling opponent, and they'll dig in and battle. But let an inconsequential gnat of a team near them, and they'll let the parasite feast.'

'Ferraro left little doubt again Tuesday night he still can perform on those 36-year-old legs. He scored three goals, his second hat trick of the season and 10th of his career, and Hnat Domenichelli tallied twice, including the winner with 5:53 left, as the Thrashers rallied for a 5-4 victory over the Buffalo Sabres before 14,062 at Philips Arena.'

‘Ray Ferraro scored three goals and Hnat Domenichelli added two as the Thrashers took the first half of a home-and-home series with Buffalo.’

'It was 3-3 with 8:47 to play when Vaclav Varada gave the Sabres the lead. But Buffalo, which trailed three times in the game, couldn't come back for a fourth time after Ferraro and Domenichelli connected late.'

'The defensive-minded Sabres have surrendered nine goals in the last two games. They blew a two-goal lead on Sunday in a 4-3 home loss to Montreal.'
