'Mid-season form means that Evander Kane still LOVES shooting the puck from every angle and missing the net high or wide. Don’t get me wrong, Kane is a good player and should prove to be a big piece for the Sabres this season, but in his first full game he looked much like the player we saw last year. The good news is he did generate a lot of chances and looked pretty physical. … [Read more...] about 5 observations: Senators top Sabres 2-1 in SO

' Nelson made a few glaring turnovers — including one late in the second period that was hideous. To be fair, it’s Nelson’s first game of the season and only the eighth of his career but this is not how he is going to make a good first impression. With Zach Bogosian “out weeks” the Sabres will have to call up someone from Rochester — but that will likely be the teams seventh … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Leafs top Sabres 2-1

'Justin Bailey, along with his linemates Derek Grant and Nick Baptiste, put together an impressive game -- especially in the first period. Baptiste had the most chances and finished the night with three shots, but he had some help from his friends. Bailey actually had the fewest minutes of any Sabres player Tuesday night (8:26), but in the limited time he was on the ice, I … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres edge Wild 2-1

'Okposo finished the night with a fourth of the Sabres shots on goal (six shots) Thursday night and generated some quality chances. The Sabres big free agent forward had a stellar second period, basically taking over the game, he just couldn't beat Markstrom. Okposo and his line mates (O'Reilly and Reinhart) really turned things on as a unit after a slow start, but it was too … [Read more...] about 5 observations: Sabres 2-1 loss to Canucks
