Flyers waive trio after Buffalo blowout

Veteran Petr Nedved, Niko Dimitrakos and Nolan Baumgartner were waived Wednesday after one of the Philadelphia Flyers’ most lopsided losses in franchise history.

Sabres give Flyers one more reminder

‘“We chased them all over the ice,” Flyers’ captain Peter Forsberg said.’

Q&A with Felix Schutz

'Were you satisfied with your performance at the camp and did you get any feedback on it? FS: There was a feedback-interview with everyone that joined the camp. They seemed to be quite happy with what they have seen, but they told me that I have to work hard on improving my strength and stamina, but of course I did already know that and I try to work as hard as possible to improve here.'

Sabres Rout Flyers 9-1

'The Sabres blew the game open in the second and started quickly when Thomas Vanek would knock in his own rebound on a rush just 37 seconds into the period. Buffalo would notch two power play goals one minute apart from Jaroslav Spacek and Chris Drury. It was Spacek’s first goal as a Sabre. The Sabres would pour it on scoring three more goals before the end of the second period, taking a 6-0 lead into the third.'

Sabres mint a goal rush

'Seven Sabres had at least two points.'

Sabres take the nation by storm

'Well, the Sabres did that Tuesday night, beating the helpless Flyers, 9-1, in a performance so electrifying it might have restored power to half the homes in the county.'

Fans pile on against familiar Philly foes

'Whether it was the repeated countdown for more goals, the screams of "We want 10!" or the fake cheers when Flyers goaltender Robert Esche made a few saves late, the HSBC Arena crowd let Philly know it has a long way to go to match the sizzling Sabres. As if the 9-1 score blazing from the Jumbotron wasn't enough.'
