@AmerksHockey Congrats to #Amerks goalie Andrey Makarov on his first AHL victory tonight! Strong start for Grigorenko as Amerks end losing skid

Gustav FN Nyquist...Wow!: http://video.nhl.com...nsole?id=593671

:lol: Will you become the First McCabe Fan?

@SabresProspects Amerks defeat SYR 5-2. Grigorenko looked much better than the last time we saw him in Roch. Highlights 4/2 Recap: Cat pounces for pair; Grigorenko sharp in debut

@NHLNewsFeed 2014 NHL mock draft 1.0 - ESPN: ESPN2014 NHL mock draft 1.0ESPNAs the 2013-14 NHL season enters its final stag... http://bit.ly/1pSLPac Has the Blue and Gold with Reinhart at #1.

Grigo sets up Roy with a great pass as he walks through the Crunch D. 5-1 Amerks. @RSandersonWHTK What a deke by #Amerks C Mikhail Grigorenko, who feeds Freddy Roy for a one-timer. Beauty of a play. Wow. ROC 5 SYR 1 [3rd] #Sabres @SabresProspects Nifty move by Mikhail Grigorenko and then a nice feed to Freddy Roy for the goal. Great play for his first AHL point. http://youtu.be/W80Hc8X5xCQ

‏@MatthewWGR So far, Grigorenko has 2 shots himself, a +10 Corsi number, a drawn penalty and 2-0 on faceoffs.

Listening on the radio, sounds like Grigs is winning plenty of puck battles along the wall. ‏@AmerksHockey GOAALLL!!! Not to be outdone, Catenacci uses a pretty move to score his 2nd of the night! 4-0 #Amerks! http://youtu.be/NqHY1KsBw-g

@SabresProspects Nice period for Grigorenko. Looked comfortable both ways, punched a few shots, got some point work on PP. Centering Sundher/old pal Roy http://youtu.be/7cgRmYUNTAg @SabresProspects Nice job by Dan Catenacci driving the net and tipping a Porter feed for the second Amerks goal. ROC leads SYR 3-0

Sabres' McCabe gets rookie maximum for three-year deal

@BuffNewsVogl Sabres' McCabe gets rookie maximum for three-year deal, which kicks in with first game http://bit.ly/1gp4ogB

Irwin actually has two and Cat has one.

‏@AmerksHockey The #Amerks have signed goaltender and Rochester native Billy Sauer to a professional tryout.

@McCabe19 Thank you everyone for the overwhelming support! Want to also thank UW for the best 3 years of my life, very excited for this opportunity!

With West showdowns looming, Blues will sit Miller against Sabres 4/2: TBN Audio of Miller Interview <7:01>

Thanks for the clarification.

Really looking forward to seeing Captain America's game vs NHL competition.

Have to always worry about any signs of symptoms in the immediate days that follow. Hope he's all clear.

Ryan Miller talks about last night's shutout and the emotions of seeing his Buffalo teammates in town. <5:20> @IanSabresPR With the #Sabres and #STLBlues facing off tomorrow, here's a breakdown of the potential scenarios for the 2/28 trade.

McCabe looks pretty damn mature: @BuffaloSabres McCabe earned 1st-team All-Big Ten honors with Wisconsin with 25 points in 33 games. http://goo.gl/vThnQv

@kevinoDandC An FYI: 2013-14 as Year 1 of McCabe's ELC isn't necessarily what #Sabres wanted. It's often a collegian's contract demand for leaving early.
