Sabres Should be Sellers

To say the Buffalo Sabres have underachieved this season is like pointing out that Peyton Manning’s situation with the Indianapolis Colts is uncomfortable.

So what’s the deal with Roy?

‘But, given Regier’s acquisitions of Robyn Regehr and Christian Ehrhoff prior to the season, the Sabres and new owner Tom Golisano clearly want to break out of the just-made-it/just-missed-it motif, which has plagued the Sabres in all but one or two of the past dozen seasons. Dealing Roy for useful parts — if they’re available — would follow that theme.’

Boxed in by penalties, Sabres fall to Devils

‘”Buffalo penalty, two minutes for holding … tripping … tripping … hooking … tripping … cross-checking … tripping.”‘

Odds are against Sabres landing Nash

‘Nash is a terrific player having his worst season in the NHL. Still, he leads his team in scoring with 18 goals and 39 points in 57 games. He’s been there nine seasons and counts for $7.8 million against the salary cap. His contract and their plans to rebuild contradict a veteran looking to win sooner than later.’

Kovalchuk puts in work for hat trick

‘”We were moving our legs really good,” Kovalchuk said. “It’s not easy to play against Buffalo, especially when they’re desperate for the points. They’ve got great goaltending, but we outworked them and we deserved the win.”‘

Seven penalties doom Sabres in loss to Devils

‘Against legendary goalie Martin Brodeur and the Devils, a lock-it-down, grind-it-out team, that’s a recipe for disaster.’

Sabres’ Weber playing better with less ice time

‘“That’s been the biggest, to get back to playing the minutes he seems suited to, that’s he’s not trying to do too much, that when he gets out there he’s fresh,” coach Lindy Ruff said Tuesday prior to the Sabres’ 4-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils inside the First Niagara Center. “His game is a lot of times energy. It’s playing hard in a short period of time, and I think when we’ve overplayed him he’s just tried too much.”‘

Kovalchuk scores 3 in Devils 4-1 win over Sabres

‘Lack of discipline plagued the Sabres, who drew seven penalties that resulted in the Devils scoring two power-play goals.’

Sabres coach Ruff back behind bench against Devils

‘Ruff says he expects to require help from his assistants in delivering his message on the bench because the injury prevents him from raising his voice.’
