'It was a good crowd tonight with minimal seats available, but I'd be lying if I didn't note the amount of Boston fans. I could see all of the yellow and black from press row but it wasn't until the Bruins scored their first goal of the night that you realized how many visiting fans were in the house. Hint: it was fairly loud with applause following both goals. It's nice to see … [Read more...] about Bergeron scores twice as Sabres fall 3-0 to Bruins

'Kyle Okposo was a last-second scratch with an illness tonight. I'm not saying that with him healthy, the Sabres would've gone with 12 forwards and six defensemen. But without Okposo, they had no option. There are eleven healthy forwards and eight healthy defensemen.' … [Read more...] about Sabres fall short in Ottawa with 3-1 loss to Senators

'But the combination of Skinner, Marcus Johansson, and Jimmy Vesey produced some great things: The three of them are all NHL regulars and unafraid to shoot the puck. Throughout the game, that group seemed to find a way to the front of the net. It led to Buffalo's first goal, so it could be a group we see more in the future.' … [Read more...] about Buffalo Sabres take down Nashville Predators 4-3 on 80’s night

'With their win tonight over the Blues, the Sabres have won back-to-back games for the first time since October 19th and 22nd. They had a long stretch last season and the last thing they needed was to have a streak like this extend into the new year. Getting two straight wins has been a long time coming and to get back on the right side of a streak could go a long way for a … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres top Blues in 5-2 win

'I'm going to need to come up with more nicknames for this line.

As they started putting pucks into the net, head coach Ralph Kruger praised the line as a whole. The return of a healthy Kyle Okposo led to the return of a more conventional lineup with 12 forwards and six defensemen; and it … [Read more...] about Sabres drop second game of trip 6-5 to Vancouver Canucks in overtime

'A healthy Rasmus Dahlin is the first choice to be the power play quarterback. Colin Miller has experience in that department, as well. So does Rasmus Ristolainen. Earlier this season, Ristolainen's 6'4", 220-pound frame was used as the body in front of the net on the power play. I'm not saying that look is the answer, but going just one for eight and giving up a goal with a … [Read more...] about Sabres open west Canada trip with 4-3 loss to Calgary Flames

'In mid-November, the Sabres called up Rasmus Asplund and not long after, he made his NHL debut.
