Buffalo wins tonight at HSBC Arena, 2-1 in overtime, to take a HUGE 3-2 lead in their second round best-of-7 match-up against a very fiesty New York Ranger team. This comes after the Sabres dropped back-to-back games at Madison Square Garden - a 2-1 2OT loss and a 2-1 regulation loss. And I was there tonight ( Read more... )

Sabres were up in this series 2-0 after the first two games in Buffalo. I actually went to game two, a 3-2 come-from-behind win in a game the Rangers dominated ( Read more... )

Here's a link to the video my sister took of the Sabres fourth goal at the game I went to last Thursday (Round 1, Game 1 vs. NY Islanders). Sorry about the quality, we're not sure why it's so bright, but the sound is the best part! Just listen to that crowd! The Sabres won the game 4-1 ( Read more... )

I've been waiting for this game since the Sabres dropped Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals at the RBC Center in North Carolina last summer ( Read more... )

I wrote up a quick column for my Sports Reporting class on the NHL Playoffs starting Wednesday (technically today now...), I posted it over at hockeybuzz.com, and I thought I'd post it here. Btw, I'm going to my first ever playoff game this Thursday. Game 1, Round 1 of the 2007 Playoffs - No. 1 seeded Sabres and No. 8 seeded NY Islanders. If you ( Read more... )

First off, sorry I never gave that longer update of NYC I mentioned in my last LJ entry. I was hoping to do that, but I've just been so busy and now it's kind of too distant to really do justice writing about it. Instead I'd direct you to my girlfriend Nicole's LJ (indigowonder ( Read more... )

I guess I'm due for an update of some kind. This one will be brief because I still have to do a 5-page paper, which is due in about 12 hours from now. (Yeah, it may be an all-nighter ( Read more... )

That Sabres flag that I got for my Christmas - that latches onto a window on my car - it's gone. Happened between 6 p.m. and 9:30 tonight...in the Keough lot...that's when the car was returned to Keough by my sister and then I took it to go out to eat, with my sister. It is so weird that the time frame between usages of the car was just 3 and a ( Read more... )

Buffalo Sabres Hockey
Month of October: 10-0-1 ...remember that?
November: 9-3-1
December: 10-4-1
January: 5-7-1, with one game to go - Tues., Jan. 30 vs. Boston

We've lost our last three. Each of those losses have been gutwrenching:
*In Montreal on the 20th we were trailing 3-0 before storming back to tie the game, and nearly taking the lead. All ( Read more... )

Tonight I was at the HSBC Arena for the fifth and final regular season game as part of my Mini Pack (I also went to a Pizza Hut Family Night with the family, Dec. 28, a 4-1 win over the Canes, so that means I'll have gotten to 6 regular season games this year). I don't plan on going to any more regular season games, but one of the perks with my ( Read more... )
