Positively Painful in Pittsburgh: Third Period Surge Not Enough as Pens Defeat Sabres, 4-2

After a weak tripping call for Sidney Crosby on defenseman Conor Timmins, Pittsburgh was first to go on the power play tonight. This could have easily been a recipe for an early lead, but the Sabres were able to stop the best team in the league in terms of man-advantage, extending their own impressive statistic of having the best penalty kill in the league at 87.7%. Following the Sabres’…

Sabres Come Back to Defeat Wild in Shootout, 3-2

The Sabres were the first ones to get special teams on the ice tonight, but it mattered not, even with the man-advantage. Buffalo managed zero shots during their first period power play and it, quite frankly, begs the question: when is enough torture enough? In other news, the Sabres failed to score first yet again tonight. Minnesota took full advantage of a Buffalo line change and it worked…

Buffalo Sabres Open Thread, Wk of 12/1

There is an uneasy peace around Buffalo right now. The Sabres won a game they had no business being in against one of the hottest teams in the Western Conference to break out of a slump, and the Bills who were supposedly in a death spiral somehow revived themselves fueled by Primanti Bros. sandwiches and Rodgers-flavored ayahuasca, or something like that. It’s good to see the Sabres win…

Buffalo Sabres Open Thread, Wk of 12/8

The Buffalo Sabres are off on a West Coast jaunt, and so far it’s gone all wrong with two defeats in two games with another four road games yet to go. Another couple of defeats could mean their playoffs drought is set to continue for another year just like the New York Jets whose postseason-less streak was confirmed this week. More #SabresAfterDark this week. Mon, Dec 8th…
