• A Thousand.

  My most recent post was my one-thousandth. I was going to blog that little fact as its own post, but thought, well, that is the easy way of hitting one thousand: to simply blog about “1000.” (It is similar to a television show dedicating its 100th episode looking back at the first 99 shows. Oops.) [...]

• Ruff, Coach of the Year, Or That Is It For Me.

  I promised myself to not get rash, but if Lindy Ruff, coach of the Buffalo Sabres, does not win coach of the year, I will kill myself. Point is, Ruff is the longest-tenured coach in the league, coaching one of the youngest teams in the league, a team that won a franchise-record 52 games (fifth [...]

• In the News

  - Bill Clinton lives on… “The nation’s largest beverage distributors have agreed to halt nearly all soda sales to public schools. The companies have agreed to sell only water, unsweetened juice and low-fat milks.“ – A right (?) direction in Mexico: “Under the federal law, police will not criminally prosecute people or hand out jail [...]

• Buffalo: "May Day"

  A little Buffalo sports theme going today… Some may ask, what is “May Day?” Well, this is it… A little homage to May, one of the earliest Sabres memories of mine (sweeping the Bruins), on May Day.

Bring back Ari? – And the Buffalo Sabres ended the regular season with back-to-back shutouts, on the heel of a five-winning streak, closing out the season with a franchise record 52 wins and a second-best 110 points. Bravo, young Sabres. Bravo.

• Sabres Reach 50 Wins

  For the first time in franchise history, the Buffalo Sabres (of the NHL) have won 50 games in a season. With two games remaining, the Sabres have 106 points (two points for a win, and 1 point for an overtime/shootout loss), which is the third best season in franchise history behind the 1974-75 campaign (49 [...]

• Large-Market Bias

  It is a pure sign of large-market bias when the NHL headlines (not the full sports headlines, mind you, just the NHL) at Sportsline.com fail to mention that the most surprising team in this young season, my beloved Buffalo Sabres, the team with the fourth best record in the league and also the youngest team [...]

• NHL Predictions

  Due to the hectic NHL schedule (30 teams, 84 games, 16 playoff teams, 15 best-of-seven series) I will only make predictions for the Stanley Cup. Buffalo Sabres over the Colorado Avalanche in seven. This will be the finals that should have happened in 1999, where the Dallas Stars knocked out the Colorado Avalanche before stealing [...]
