June 25, 2012 It's been exciting to see the Bills addressing their needs in the offseason on defense, and during the 2012 NHL Entry Draft over the weekend, it was exciting to see the Buffalo Sabres address some needs as well with what could turn out to be some long-term solutions at the center position
The NHL has released the 2012-2013 season schedule and it features the Sabres beginning the season with three straight home games and seven of their first 10 at home. The season and home opener is Saturday, October 13th against the Pittsburgh Penguins. They close the season at home against the Boston Bruins.
On Tuesday, the Buffalo Sabres announced their 2012 preseason schedule. There will be a total of 7 games played, 3 of them being at the First Niagara Center. The preseason opens up with a game on Monday, September 4th in Montreal. After that, the Sabres head home for two games....1 against the Bruins on September 26th...and the other against the Toronto Maple leafs, which will be played on Friday, September 28th. Here is what the rest of the preseason schedule looks like.....
June 19-20, 1999. The Dallas Stars beat the Buffalo Sabres 2 to 1 in Triple Overtime to win the Stanley Cup. Hard to believe it’s been 13 ears since Bret Hull scored the Cup winning goal that shouldn’t have counted. We here in Buffalo will forever call it “No Goal.”
Check off the Los Angeles Kings from the list – the list of teams that have never won the Stanley Cup. And what’s amazing is that the Kings were the 8th seed in the Western Conference – the last team to make the playoffs in the West. So congratulations to a team and their fans who went 45 years before winning the NHL’s top prize. Just goes to show it can be done.
The Buffalo Sabres have made some changes to their 2012-2013 broadcasts. The big news is that 40-year veteran broadcaster Rick Jeanneret signed a new multi-year contract and agreed to call more games for the club during the season. Rob Ray will now be...
(Facebook) His voice has been synonymous with Buffalo Sabres hockey since almost the inception of the team and he'll honored in November with his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Broadcaster Rick Jeannert has done Sabres play by play since the 1971-72 season, the team's second year in the league and is the longest-tenured broadcaster in the NHL. It's an honor long overdue.
Clay brought it up this morning and he really fired me up. He asked how can a team in Nashville, TN still be in the Stanley Cup playoffs and a team from a hockey hotbed like Buffalo, NY not even make the playoffs? Boy that's pretty sad, but it's the truth.
May 1, 2012 It is one of the best calls in sports history. Brad May's winning goal against Boston is one that any sports fan would get chills over, especially if you are a fan of the Buffalo Sabres.
They’re called vanity license plates and it’s a way for the state to make extra money. Some people put their names or initials on them. I’ve heard of people putting the name of their pet or some kind of combination of numbers and letters to form a phrase.
The NHL Stanley Cup playoffs are in full swing. Playoff hockey is some of the best hockey you will ever see. The playoffs always seem to separate the men from the boys. Players who were playing at 100% during the regular season often are able to play at 150% if such a thing is even possible
Another blow to smokers with the announcement yesterday by the Buffalo Sabres that smoking will not be allowed anywhere on the grounds of First Niagara Center during games and events. The arrangement allowing smokers to step outside between periods will be discontinued. I’m just afraid it’ll lead to more violations
especially in stairwells and bathrooms. There’s plenty of that going on now. I’m sure we’ll see even more.
