Sabres win an 'ugly one' to snap skid

'Hutton played well enough in each of the two losses this week, but the offense in front of him was not up to the task. Again on Saturday it was the captain who came through in the clutch. And not to be overlooked in the overtime was the faceoff win by Curtis Lazar that helped Buffalo gain possession in overtime and allow Eichel to wind his way into the offensive zone to score … [Read more...] about Sabres win an ‘ugly one’ to snap skid

Eichel scores game-winner as Sabres top Blue Jackets in overtime

'For the first time since October 22nd, Carter Hutton picked up a win between the pipes. It's been an up and down season for the Sabres goalie, especially since he began the season with six straight wins.

'"It's a big win for the group," said Eichel, who scored for a third straight game. "I thought we hunkered down, it's a good hockey team. Obviously, they're fighting for points right now, too.

Eichel nets OT winner in victory over Blue Jackets

'"It was a hard-fought game," Hutton said. "I thought it was a bit of a chess match there. … Both teams didn't really want to be the team to make a mistake. It was kind of, protect the puck. That's all right though. That's the hockey you want to play. You want to be in tight games at this time of year. You've got to play good defensively and I thought we did a really good job … [Read more...] about Eichel nets OT winner in victory over Blue Jackets

Stanley Cup winner Michael Frolik says Sabres need confidence, consistency

'“Also I think the issue here a little bit is just to play a full 60 minutes. We’ve had a little trouble with the second period. It seems like we always have a pretty good first period and then we kind of take a little bit our foot off the gas, but I think the mindset here needs to be a full 60 minutes and that’s the challenge for the next game.”' … [Read more...] about Stanley Cup winner Michael Frolik says Sabres need confidence, consistency

'"This team has just sucked the life out of me," said Melody Martin, 25, the Williamsville woman who has done Sabres song parodies for the last two seasons. "I just don't even care about these games anymore. If people want to protest, they can go ahead but I just feel like I've completely lost every ounce of love I have for the Sabres.
