Opinion: An airing of Sabres grievances
'And you name it with the ways the Sabres have lost over the course of 13-straight games: Getting "goalied" by an opposing netminder, blowing multi-goal leads, one mental slip up costing the team a game, critical late-game mishaps that result in blown chances at a point, simply just not showing up to play from start-to-finish.' … [Read more...] about Opinion: An airing of Sabres grievances
Sabres lose in Boston for 13th winless game in-a-row
'A low-event third period looked to be leading to a 3-on-3 overtime, but Boston had other plans. Sam Lafferty took a costly tripping penalty with 3:45 to play, and again at the twilight of a man advantage the Bruins made the Sabres pay.' … [Read more...] about Sabres lose in Boston for 13th winless game in-a-row

Opinion: Sabres go into Boston hoping they've hit rock bottom

If you go by points, only the Nashville Predators have fewer points than the Sabres. If you go by points percentage, the Preds and San Jose Sharks are … [Read more...] about Opinion: Sabres go into Boston hoping they’ve hit rock bottom

Opinion: Sabres are a no-show just one day after positive feedback from their owner
'That is a plain and simple hard truth, you could say the Sabres are a better team than this team or another team, but just like this organization, you’d be kidding yourself.

Ruff: 'I'm the coach. I am the one that has to solve this'
'"I'm the coach. I am the one that has to solve this," said Ruff with Jeremy White and Joe DiBiase. "It has been a lot of different things inside of those games. Our puck management against Toronto put us in a bad place in some situations in the game. I really felt early in the year, our managing the puck was better. You look at that game, we mismanaged it. It ended up giving … [Read more...] about Ruff: ‘I’m the coach. I am the one that has to solve this’

Opinion: Sabres blow another two-goal lead, lose in Toronto
'Just 28 seconds after Robertson’s goal, Henri Jokiharju takes a penalty. That’s another thing we see quite often from this team, make a mistake, give up a goal and then help the other team build the momentum even stronger by heading to the penalty box. You knew the Maple Leafs would score on the power play and 53 seconds later, it was tied. Now the Sabres are in full panic and … [Read more...] about Opinion: Sabres blow another two-goal lead, lose in Toronto

Opinion: Doing the little things poorly gave Sabres another loss
'Buffalo had 57 shot attempts, but only 21 hit the net. During their nine-game losing streak Buffalo had six one-goal losses and this loss was one goal until the empty netter. I’ve never seen a team miss the net (18 times on Saturday) and hit as many posts as this one does. You can only imagine how many more points the Sabres would have if they could hit the net regularly on … [Read more...] about Opinion: Doing the little things poorly gave Sabres another loss
