Powerplay Goals? In this Economy?

Buffalo scored on 35% of their shots to defeat the Flyers. Rick Tocchet pulled his starter Vladar after the first, but Ersson didn’t fare much better. Both goalies yielded two goals against…

Carolina Curse Continues

Score: Sabres 1 | CAR 2 Shots: BUF 18 | CAR 28 Buffalo Sabres Goals: Carolina Hurricanes Goals: Final Thoughts Buffalo played a strong game, but sometimes the goaltender steals one. Bussi had an excellent game and make some insane saves. Thompson might have nightmares of the 2 on 0 glove save for a while. Carolina is a tough team, particularly at home.

Buffalo Sabres Open Thread, Wk of 1/19 – Roadtripping

After five straight games at home where the Buffalo Sabres picked up seven of the ten points on offer, they go on the road now for five straight. It’s a shame that the Sabres are not in the weak Metropolitan Division where they would have been sitting comfortably in second place, and instead they are in the hotly contested Atlantic where as of Sunday night they are in fifth-place (but have games…

Buffalo Sabres sign Josh Doan to a seven-year, $6.95m extension

Josh Doan has been more than a revelation in his first season with the Buffalo Sabres since coming over from the Utah Mammoth along with defenseman Michael Kesselring as part of the trade that saw forward JJ Peterka go the other way. And now he’s going to become part of the revolution that sees the Sabres gain relevance in the NHL again. The Sabres announced earlier today that the pending…

Buffalo Sabres Player of the Week ending 1/18 – Tage Thompson is straight TNT

This is a new feature we’re going to be trying out here on Die By The Blade, so please be patient with us as we work things out. The article needed to be up earlier on Sunday, but I needed a full 24 hours and then some to get over what transpired in Colorado last night, IYKYK. This is going to be a two-fer this week, and first up is the somewhat-maligned Rasmus Dahlin.

Pleasantly Familiar – Sabres get big regulation win in Montreal

Score: Sabres 4 | MTL 2 Shots: BUF 17 | MTL 34 Buffalo Sabres Goals: Montreal Canadians Goals: Final Thoughts This game was eerily similar to what we witnessed on Tuesday. Buffalo jumped out to a multiple goal lead, saw their lead dwindle to one goal, and ultimately iced the game with a Payton Krebs empty net goal. If the game script works, why not try it…
