Archives for December 23, 2001

A bitter week in December

It was a bitter pill to swallow. The Sabres fans have expected top notch goaltending ever since their inception. Having seen such greats as Roger Crozier, Tom Barrasso, Don Edwards and Bob Sauve, not to mention the future Hall of Famer Dominik Hasek, tend the pipes in the Sabres storied history, it came as a complete shock to see the horrendous goaltending as of late.

Struggling Sabres beaten by Leafs

'It was the Sabres' sixth loss in their past eight games and their fifth straight defeat with Martin Biron as the starting goalie.'

Players make their marks in Hockey Hall of Fame

'Center Tim Connolly played in his 200th career NHL game Saturday night, an impressive feat for someone who still isn't old enough to sip a beer in Buffalo.'

Quinn behind this win

'With about 30 seconds left in the second period, Quinn put out his three best offensive players in a five-on-five situation and it resulted in the decisive goal in Toronto's 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres.'

Second period Leaf surge does in Sabres

The stage was set for another repeat performance by the Buffalo Sabres. With the Toronto Maple Leafs leading 3-2 late in the final period, the Leafs took a penalty just like they did Friday night in Buffalo. The Sabres scored a powerplay goal in the first game of the home-and-home series to tie the game. Saturday night in the Air Canada Centre, it played out exactly the same, except this time the Leafs shutdown the Sabres offense and came away with a 3-2 victory.

Bloody Well Right!

'James Patrick and Rhett Warrener scored for Buffalo, which took just one point from the home-and-home series and has won just one of its past eight games.'

Mogilny's assists tops among Leafs

'Mogilny registered two assists last night and has 20 in 36 games, putting him on pace for 46.'

Leafs Watch

'"It's a gut-check for us every time we play them," the Buffalo enforcer said. "You notice all the Leafs sweaters in our building. They bring the best out of us and I think (the opposite is true)."'

Maple Leafs 3, Sabres 2

'This time, the Sabres failed to score with a two-man advantage late in the game.'

Toronto 3, Buffalo 2

'As unsuccessful as the Toronto Maple Leafs are at HSBC Arena, the Buffalo Sabres are not much better at Air Canada Centre.'
