Monday, February 14th, 2011 10:22 pm

The Sabres had another successful week going 2-0-1 against Tampa Bay, Florida, and the New York Islanders. Drew Stafford had a big week as well, scoring two hat tricks and thus earning a spot as the subject of our main discussion.

SabreCast 3.15 – Just Getting By

Sunday, January 16th, 2011 5:41 pm

This week, the Sabres went 1-2 against Philadelphia, Carolina, and the New York Islanders. It wasn't a great week and frustration with the team is starting to build. This week's episode is a bit all over the place with no planned main topic.

SabreCast 3.12 – Time For A Change

Sunday, December 19th, 2010 9:05 pm

The Sabres went 1-2 this week, beating Boston at home, but losing to Florida and Tampa Bay on the road. This week's games has left a sour aftertaste and we think it's time to see some change on the team.

Sunday, December 5th, 2010 8:06 pm

Sunday, October 31st, 2010 6:20 pm

Well, the Sabres blew it this week. Just when we were starting to gain a little confidence in the slow starting team, they only managed 1 point against Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Dallas. In this week's podcast, we review team and individual stats from the first month of play.

SabreCast 3.01 – Preseason Synopsis

Sunday, October 3rd, 2010 8:45 pm

The Sabres are just wrapping up their preseason games and have shaved down their roster to a slim 26 players. They need to be down to 23 before the start of the regular season. In this episode of SabreCast (which we are calling the first episode of season three or 3.01), we breakdown the final [...]

Sunday, April 18th, 2010 6:04 pm

Playoff hockey is officially underway and the Sabres are matched up against the Boston Bruins. The Sabres won the first game 2-1, but fell 5-3 in game 2. In this playoff edition of SabreCast, we cover those two games in detail.

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.

Playoff Flashback: 2006

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010 9:09 pm

Remember, this was the team that beat us 5-0, 6-1 and 10-4 early in the regular season, a team that ripped through the conference on its way to 113 points and the top seed in the playoffs. Sure, we had done well getting through a slow Philadelphia team built on brute force, but Ottawa was an unstoppable force, simply extending the series past five games would be something to build on.

SabreCast 2.26 – Can’t Wait ‘Til the Playoffs

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 Weak, the Soft, the Shameful

Thursday, March 4th, 2010 10:47 pm

Have you ever seen a team so uninspired in games of such importance? It's not like mailing one in against the Islanders when you're sitting in the 10-spot, this is a team that is on the cusp of winning the division and could even make a run at the 2-seed. From what we've seen since the midway point of the road trip the team is playing like it's tanking for the top draft pick. It's disgusting, a team of clowns with the complacency of a team of sloths. Does someone need to remind these guys they haven't won anything? Would it really make a difference?

Best Wins of the 00′s, Number Three

Sunday, January 31st, 2010 3:44 pm

It was a frustrating time for Sabres Nation. The march to the Stanley Cup finals was not supposed to be this difficult for a team that had led the league in goals scored on their way to the President's Trophy. The team had dispensed of the New York Islanders in five workman-like games, and had taken the first two games of the next series, which were played in Buffalo. The Sabres were going to finish off a sweep- or at worst, another five game win- and head on to the conference finals, one step closer to the Stanley Cup the team had spent all year putting reservations on. Suddenly, however, someone pulled the power on the Sabres' high powered offense.

Road Trip Ruminations

Thursday, January 28th, 2010 2:02 pm

Okay, so staying up until one or one-thirty in the morning to watch hockey with work the next morning is not as fun as I had anticipated. Granted, the games- or at least their conclusions- were at times so maddening that it was difficult to fall asleep, so maybe had the team played better it would have actually been enjoyable.
