Archives for April 3, 2016

Sabres beat Rangers thanks to big penalty kill

‘Defensemen Mark Pysyk (interference) and Casey Nelson (hooking) were called for minor penalties on the same play and the Sabres were in a huge hole. The crowd howled, sensing the climax to a big comeback. But it never happened.’

Call-ups could be plentiful at end of week

‘As for Rochester call-ups, it stands to reason that Williamsville native Justin Bailey could be a candidate for another recall. Bailey played eight games without a point for the Sabres earlier this season. He entered Saturday with 17 goals and 23 assists in 62 games for the Amerks. Prospects like Nick Baptiste, Jean Dupuy and William Carrier are all looking for their first NHL call-ups and have had up-and-down seasons in Rochester.’

Quick Hits: Sabres 4, Rangers 3

‘Saturday’s game was Buffalo’s second straight win and improved the Sabres to 6-2-2 over their last 10 games. At 33-35-11 with three games left, a .500 season remains a possibility for the Sabres. They need five of the six points in their final three contests to finish with 82 points in 82 games.’

As Sabres ticket costs rise, fan satisfaction declines

‘“Every night should be fan appreciation night,” said Joe Short of Tonawanda. “My tickets have gone up 40 percent in five years, and the hockey has been hard to watch. Can $1 of my increase go to giveaways for kids? Make it more fun for the families.”’

O’Reilly criticism completely misguided

‘The backlash was centered on O’Reilly’s DUI incident in Ontario last July that will be going to trial in London this summer. As the chapter chair, I was subjected to hundreds – yes, hundreds – of tweeted protests of this nomination, many filled with the requisite amount of eighth-grade profanity that’s such an ugly part of social media. It was telling that exactly one tweeter identified himself or had a bio that indicated he was from Buffalo and politely said he had a problem with the nomination. There was pretty much zero dissent on this issue from Sabres fans because they know what O’Reilly has meant to this organization this season, just like the media that regularly covers the team.’

After prison, ‘the fight continues’ for John Rigas

‘One aspect of Rigas’ life has not changed. Even after a federal jury in 2004 convicted him and his son, Timothy, of fraud and conspiracy charges, and even after prosecutors argued they “looted” Adelphia of $100 million while hiding $2.3 billion in debt, he maintains his innocence.’

O’Reilly scores twice, Sabres deny Rangers with 4-3 win

‘”We’re doing everything,” Johnson said. “We’re trying to be spoiler, we’re just trying to play our game. We had a tough start and we are just jelling as a group now. You’re starting to see it all come together, the chemistry, the compete we have. It doesn’t matter where you are in the standings. You want to win.”‘

Sabres deny Rangers’ bid to clinch

‘Added Ryan O’Reilly: “I think we knew what to do. We knew what to do.”‘

Sabres Survive in NY 4-3

‘The Buffalo win snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Rangers dating back to April 19, 2013.’
