Are you ready for the winter olympics? It’s almost here! The Campbell household enjoys watching all of the olympic sporting events, but I am partial to the winter sports. (Perhaps because I like snow and cold?) We’re excited to see the hockey, featuring all of the world’s best players (kind of like an extended NHL…

Nemesis
It’s really unbelievable when in the world of professional sports, one team can totally dominate another, game after game, season after season. Unless you are a fan of a Buffalo pro sports team. No, I am not speaking of the incredible streak that the New England Patriots are still enjoying against our Buffalo Bills… though…
NHL Hockey is Back… with a QUADRUPLE-Header!
The 2009-2010 NHL season begins this Thursday, October 1st! We are looking forward to that here in the Campbell home. Our team (the Sabres) does not start until Saturday, but there will be plenty of hockey to watch before that! I went to versus.com yesterday to see if they were carrying any opening night games,…
The End
Well, it was a great, great season, and a great run through the NCAA tournament for my Spartans, but last night, it came to a screeching halt. Not only did they lose the game, and not only did they lose it by 17 points, they were simply a shell of who they had been all…
It Comes Down To This
The Sabres are basically already eliminated from the 2009 Stanley Cup playoffs. They have only 9 games left, and they are a full 8 points out of the top eight spots – the playoff teams. They fell to the 10th spot and have been hovering there for quite a while, thanks largely to long absences…
Sabres Lose Top Stars, Clinging to Playoff Hopes
The Sabres seem to have plenty of bad luck in the injury department. Not just this season, but nearly every season. A few years ago, they made it to game seven of the conference finals, but most likely lost because they had one starting defenseman who was healthy! Many of the defensemen have missed time…
The Sabres are Double Awesome
I just posted a more detailed article on our Buffalo Bills site, but thought I’d share the condensed version here for those who might not care about the game’s details… Last night the Sabres played a pretty tough team on the road. Minnesota was 4-0-0, and they are a great defensive team. Buffalo is good…
Hockey Is Back!
With football season in full swing, and alllll the other stuff going on around here in Campbell-land, it’s pretty hard to fit anything else in, but we were offered the good six-month promo price on digital cable so we decided to do it for the bulk of the hockey season. So far we have been…
NHL "Parity"
Every sport tries to say they have it. Parity is the word that means you have achieved ultimate sporting success. There is true competition amongst the teams in your league. But really… so far as I can tell… only the NHL has achieved such a thing. Proof is in the series between the Minnesota Wild…
Just Sayin’…
I did a little figurin’ tonight, and even if – best case scenario – the Sabres were to win all three of their remaining games, finishing with 92 points on 40 wins… we still probably won’t make the playoffs! Best I can figure, from who’s playin’ who from here on out… Sabres will end up…
