Suddenly, it was over for Sabres

'Clearly, other than Sabres' fans, most of the country, particularly ABC Television and its subsidiary, ESPN, is delighted at Pittsburgh's victory. Mario Lemieux's incredible comeback and Jaromir Jagr's likely final season as a Penguin are a much easier sell for national television than, say Vaclav Varada and Dave Andreychuk.' … [Read more...] about Suddenly, it was over for Sabres

Swift exit by Hasek may be omen

'Hasek couldn't wait to leave, and you could not help thinking that the greatest goalie in Buffalo history was leaving that dressing room for the final time, beaten in overtime in a decisive playoff game for the third time in four seasons. The Sabres have a $9 million option on his contract for next year, although Hasek could make their decision easy by retiring to … [Read more...] about Swift exit by Hasek may be omen

Penguins profit from playing Sabre-style hockey

'The Penguins took control of the neutral zone and the boards during overtime, creating an array of chances that gave an air of inevitability to the eventual outcome. Whether Hedberg was a bundle of nerves waiting to be exploited was a question rendered moot by a Pittsburgh defense that never yielded the Sabres a decent scoring opportunity during the extra session. ' … [Read more...] about Penguins profit from playing Sabre-style hockey

Jagr's stay in Pittsburgh goes overtime

'Jagr has two years and $20.7 million remaining on his contract. The Penguins have a choice. They can retain Jagr and lose several of their core players because they can't afford to keep them.
