Mike Harrington: What would Terry Pegula say about the last three days in Pegulaville?
'I'd really like to know what Pegula thinks about the rollercoaster ride both of his teams seem to be on. I bet a lot of you do, too.

Inside the NHL: Carolina's Sebastian Aho is in town and Sabres have to stop him

We were able to establish the o-zone and tire them out.”' … [Read more...] about ‘You saw a full 60 for the first time, in a while’: Sabres get productive in 9-3 win against Chicago
