From all appearances, my playoff beard is not long for this world. But appearances can be deceiving… We missed the first period of the game last night, but from the report my brother-in-law gave, the Sabres played very well, and they did finish period one with a 2-1 lead. I heard a brief interview with…

You’re Gonna Have To Do Better Than That…
The studio guys said the Sabres were outskated. “The Senators were the better team,” they said. And who can argue with a 5-2 loss on home ice in Game One on Thursday night? Not exactly the way you want to start off the series! I’m not sure overall the Sens were better, but man, our…
Hockey Update
The Final Four are set. Sabres vs Senators in the East, and Red Wings vs Ducks in the West. 1 vs 4 and 1 vs 2. I would love to see Sabres/Red Wings… just for the Dominik Hasek angle. But the Ducks are FAST (like the Sabres) and can score… would be an exciting Stanley…
Controversial Call in Game 4
You may have heard (I forget if I might have said here on this blog) that the Sabres lost game 4 in NY and are now tied with NY at 2 games a piece. But perhaps it might have been different had the video review guys been a bit braver, and made the call that…
Sabres Series Tied
The Sabres unfortunately did not read my blog yesterday. The Rangers just “wanted it more” for 2.5 periods. The second Rangers’ goal lit a fire underneath the Sabres, and they played “like they were on the power play for the last 10 minutes”, said a Rangers announcer, but… as they say, “too little, too late”….
What It Takes To Win
I was watching the second hockey game last night, featuring #5 seed San Jose vs the #1 seed Detroit Red Wings. And I noticed what I think the Sabres might be lacking so far in the playoffs. Yes, they won the first round in 5 games over the Islanders, and have a 2-1 advantage in…
Tuesday Tidbits
NFL DraftThis past weekend was the NFL draft, as I mentioned here previously. This year, the crazy part was the Bills drafted pretty much as they were expected to! How crazy is that? Last year everyone was flipping out over the insane picks the Bills made… this year, everyone is much happier. (Last year, all…
Miller & The Sabres Grab 2-0 Lead
The Sabres have Ryan Miller to thank for another playoff victory. That, and some timely scoring from guys who have been doing just that all year long. We missed the game again last night due to strange TV scheduling, but we managed to catch the final 5 or 6 minutes, and Miller looked as great…
Sabres Win Game One
Unfortunately we did not get to watch game one of round two last night as we were previously scheduled at a Pampered Chef party at a friend’s house… (I had tried to TiVo the game, but later found out that somehow I had scheduled it to record TONIGHT’s game!!! NOT the SABRES!!!!) So, we got…
Round Two Starts Wednesday
Looks like the Sabres/Rangers series will begin Wednesday night in Buffalo. The Lower Hudson Online (the Journal News) is reporting that the Rangers have received the preliminary schedule. I can’t wait! Go Sabres!!!
