Playoff Beards and Playoff Chances

Thursday, April 8th, 2010 5:11 pm

My all-time favorite beard may be Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard, who posed for Playboy a couple years back, but in a very close second would have to be the Playoff Beard. Not shaving while your team is in the playoffs connects one to the team itself. Like wearing a jersey or having a flag on your car, but much more bad-ass. I have only been able to do the Playoff Beard once, the shaky playoff run in 2007 after winning the President's Trophy. Over a month of not shaving becomes noticeable for people like me, and after being compounded with a couple things (the Flyers finishing dead last, the Penguins being eliminated), I felt like the coolest cat on the Penn State campus. For those of us who have wives, girlfriends, or simply a job in which one interacts with people or wears a suit, growing copious amounts of facial hair is indeed a sacrifice, one made to show our determination for Buffalo to win a Stanley Cup.

Sunday, April 4th, 2010 8:20 pm

After another week of games, the Sabres are still looking to clinch the Division and still have a shot of moving into 2nd place in the Conference. The Sabres still have four games left in the regular season, but Matt and I can't help but look ahead. In our main discussion, we break down the playoff picture in terms of leadership, injuries, and rookies.

The Reasonable Argument for ‘Shooooooot,’ and Other Observations

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 9:21 pm

Far too often these challenges result in a simple turnover in the offensive zone or a drop pass to no one. Couple this with our defensemen's penchant for playing incredibly far up on the rush, and suddenly the teams bad habit of giving up more than a couple odd man rushes a game seems to make sense. Myers, certainly the defenseman with the best nose for the puck (but still learning what to do when he actually has the puck) has been a repeat offender this season, attempting numerous drop passes in the neutral zone which more than once have resulted in Miller finding the puck behind him. These mental lapses are not the result of poor play or taking a night off- though those certainly exacerbate the situation- but simply a predictable result of gambling one too many times.

SabreCast 2.1 – Season Preview

In this episode we discuss the Sabres’s 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Sabres had gone 2-8 in their last 10 games and were desperate for the win to get them out of the slump. For the first time in a long while, Sabres fans were treated to an exciting game with a decent number of goals and fights.

Sabres Preseason Report

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008 10:49 pm

Since the Sabres have now played two preseason games, I thought it would be nice to summarize the major details from those games and offer some comments on the team as a whole and a few individual players.
