'Early on that clearly wasn't the case -- but now, with him out several weeks you have to wonder if Ennis' time in Buffalo is running out. Ennis still has tons of talent and strung together some nice games a few weeks ago, but he just can't find the back of the net. There's no exact timetable on when he will return but when he finally does he'll need to produce because time is … [Read more...] about Sabres’ Ennis will miss weeks with groin injury

'"It's army night tomorrow and even though I'm not American I appreciate what the military and all these guys do and I've got a little support for my man Trump here, it's going to be a fun night," Lehner said.' … [Read more...] about Sabres goaltender Robin Lehner debuts military-themed helmet featuring “Trump” sticker

'Mid-season form means that Evander Kane still LOVES shooting the puck from every angle and missing the net high or wide. Don’t get me wrong, Kane is a good player and should prove to be a big piece for the Sabres this season, but in his first full game he looked much like the player we saw last year. The good news is he did generate a lot of chances and looked pretty physical. … [Read more...] about 5 observations: Senators top Sabres 2-1 in SO

'Six of the Sabres next ten games are at home, which may not be a good thing when you consider the Sabres are 1-3 at home so far this season. I do expect they'll start playing better at home and now would be the ideal time.' … [Read more...] about Sabres report card: The first ten games

' Nelson made a few glaring turnovers — including one late in the second period that was hideous. To be fair, it’s Nelson’s first game of the season and only the eighth of his career but this is not how he is going to make a good first impression. With Zach Bogosian “out weeks” the Sabres will have to call up someone from Rochester — but that will likely be the teams seventh … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Leafs top Sabres 2-1

'Justin Bailey, along with his linemates Derek Grant and Nick Baptiste, put together an impressive game -- especially in the first period. Baptiste had the most chances and finished the night with three shots, but he had some help from his friends. Bailey actually had the fewest minutes of any Sabres player Tuesday night (8:26), but in the limited time he was on the ice, I … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres edge Wild 2-1

'The Erie County District Attorney's office says that this is routine procedure for people with non-criminal charges and no prior record.

'Have you ever seen a Venus Fly Trap swallow up a fly? Well, on Saturday, Anders Nilsson was the fly trap and the puck was the fly. Nilsson swallowed up several different shots from the point, especially in the second period. So far this season Buffalo goaltenders have had a problem with rebound control, but Saturday that wasn’t the case. "The most important thing is the two … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres shutout Panthers 3-0

'Entering the third period, things were looking good for the Sabres. They played fantastically in the second and were twenty minutes away from earning their first road regulation win in Philadelphia since 2011. Then, everything imploded and things got ugly.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres fall to Flyers 4-3 in SO

'Okposo finished the night with a fourth of the Sabres shots on goal (six shots) Thursday night and generated some quality chances. The Sabres big free agent forward had a stellar second period, basically taking over the game, he just couldn't beat Markstrom. Okposo and his line mates (O'Reilly and Reinhart) really turned things on as a unit after a slow start, but it was too … [Read more...] about 5 observations: Sabres 2-1 loss to Canucks

'Wednesday Miller told reporters that he will backup Jacob Markstrom duringThursday's game against the Sabres, after feeling some tightness the last few days. “It’s not an injury," Miller started.
