Per Hockey Reference’s team age data (available since ’99 season), the Sabres have been the youngest team in the league for the past 3 seasons. That’s nothing new for this team, as it’s been the…

Breaktime is Over – Sabres beat Devils in NHL return

Score: Sabres 2 | Devils 1 Shots: BUF 30 | NJD 28 Buffalo Sabres Goals: New Jersey Devils Goals: Final Thoughts There was some concern that the Olympic break would kill the momentum Buffalo had built in the middle portion of the season. They responded with a quality performance and a victory. Thompson and Krebs were the difference offensively.

Buffalo Sabres Player of the Week 3/1 – Olympic Gold Medalist Tage Thompson

Buffalo Sabres Open Thread, Wk of 3/2 – Trade Deadline Week

We had all expected there to be a bit of a drop off or a lull from the Buffalo Sabres when the regular season resumed after the Olympics break.

This week Buffalo play three of four at home and have a…
