September 1 2005 (Buffalo News) -
Managing Partner Larry Quinn introduced new Buffalo Sabres General Manager Matthew Bosela in a press conference at HSBC Arena this morning. The 32 year old Bosela, the assistant GM under Darcy Regier during last year's lockout season, assumes full control of all hockey-related operations for the Sabres.

"This organization is filled with explosive young talent and I completely expect the team to be in the playoff hunt right away", Bosela exclaimed. "The fans of this hockey club have been extremely patient over the past five years and it is time they're rewarded with a winning team."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/SabresHomeJersey.jpg</div>

Quinn would briefly talk about Regier a moment later. "Darcy did an absolutely marvelous job and I would never say anything to diminish his many accomplishments over the past nine years in Buffalo. There just comes a point in time where patience runs out. We've righted the ship from a financial standpoint but now we need to move forward and turn this franchise into an annual contender in the standings."

Lindy Ruff and his coaching staff will all retain their positions for 2005-06. "Lindy is the longest tenured head coach in the National Hockey League for a reason." Bosela exclaimed. "He brings great passion and dedication to the franchise and I truly feel he is the right man to coach this club."

Bosela would receive a standing ovation moments later, when he announced that the Sabres were going back to the traditional blue and gold color scheme with a modernized logo. He then unveiled the new home and road jerseys for all to see. "The blue is a little deeper than before and the gold is a little more pronounced", Bosela said. "The logo itself has a sharper looking Buffalo and the swords are pretty much carbon copies of the blades on our third jersey from the past number of years."

"Our ultimate goal is to bring the product back to the great fans of Western New York and Southern Ontario", Bosela said. "We want to provide merchandise our supporters will be proud to wear and ice a team that they will be proud to root for. It's up to me to show we're on the right track."

Bosela concluded by saying he's finalizing details for the upcoming 2005 training camp and would have interesting news to share in the days ahead.

September 2 2005 (Buffalo News) -
Buffalo Sabres GM Matthew Bosela announced today that the club would be instituting a new competition for unsigned Sabres prospects called the Prospect Cup, to be held at the start of training camp every year.

"Every team is looking for an excuse to see all of its talent take part in competition", Bosela indicated. "It's difficult to get the young kids playing time when you have over fifty guys showing up for training camp. Preseason games are usually reserved for guys under contract and I really wanted to have the ability to see some of our unsigned, younger prospects in action."

"This gives us that opportunity."

Bosela would go on to announce the opponents in the 2005 competition, headlined by the 2005 NCAA Men's Champions from the University of Denver. Also participating will be the University of Minnesota and the U.S. National Development Program.

"We're truly blessed to have three incredibly talented teams taking part in this friendly competition", Bosela enthused. "Since NCAA players aren't able to attend professional training camps, this tournament will give us a chance to see our recent draft pick Chris Butler in action. Sabres fans will also be floored by the talent on the University of Minnesota team, led by 17 year old superprospect Phil Kessel. The club that nurtured Kessel, the NDTP, will also take part in the event."

"We've received replies from every single unsigned Sabres prospect and with one exception, all accepted the invitations to our 2005 training camp. We look forward to looking at our future Sabres in action in the same arena."

Bosela would not indicate the player who declined the invitation.

The Prospect Cup will kick off on Friday September the 9th. Tickets will go on sale Saturday September 3rd.

Bosela loves the schedule. He says "We get a chance to do some 'team building' out west prior to the regular season's start. It should do wonders for the chemistry between the guys and will also allow us to recharge our batteries in a beautiful mountain setting."

The unsigned prospects will arrive at camp on Wednesday in preparation for the start of the Prospect Cup on Friday. Veterans will arrive in camp on Saturday for team orientation and fitness tests.

Incredibly done! Looking forward to this. :)
Thanks for the kind words!

I guess I should outline my plan for this dynasty.

The dynasty will be told completely from the perspective of the media. Any thoughts I have as GM hopefully can come out through my interaction with the press. I plan on using the Buffalo News as my main outlet but also will utilize The Hockey News for some league news and also will use small-town papers for any news items regarding my prospects.

I've done quite a bit of unfaking to the DB in order to get most of the drafted players (and a few of the major undrafted guys) currently in the NCAA into the game under their own name. I've also changed the clubs in the Central and United Leagues to their real names.

All leagues have been selected with a maximum database.

I want to give more insight into the entire league as well. If anyone following along ever wants to hear about their favourite team, just ask! I'll be happy to provide a report from the local paper on the goings-on with your club.

September 6 2005 (Buffalo News) -
Buffalo Sabres General Manager Matthew Bosela announced Tuesday evening that former NHL star Guy Carbonneau has joined the team as Assistant General Manager. As per team policy, no contract details were announced.

"We're absolutely thrilled to have someone as talented and respected as Guy come on board with the Sabres", Bosela proclaimed. "He has a keen understanding of what we're looking to accomplish here in Buffalo and his ability to evaluate personnel will be well utilized. I look forward to working closely with Guy in achieving our ultimate goal of bringing a Cup to the Queen City."

Carbonneau played for 18 years in the NHL, winning three Stanley Cups during his career, including one with the Dallas Stars in 1999 when his club defeated Buffalo in six games. A former Selke Award winner for Best Defensive Forward, Carbonneau played with the Montreal Canadiens and the St. Louis Blues before finishing his career in Dallas in 2000. He accumulated 663 points (260g 403a) in 1318 NHL games.

Reebok is currently working on the logo and colour scheme now and it is no secret that the Sabres brass wants to go back to the blue and gold next year. The guy doing the work for Reebok is supposedly a huge Sabres fan (I didn't know there were others! ;) ) and really is keen on utilzing the old logo in some way.

I absolutely LOVE this design: the logo, colour scheme, everything. If they go with something like this, they will get A LOT of sales.

Thanks for following along everyone!

When I saw the thread title I was actually going to say "Change the logo and jerseys back to gold and blue!" :D

Great stuff, keep it up. Don't mess Zagrapan up though! :mad:

September 9 2005 (Buffalo News) -
The strapping young defenseman took a crisp pass from the side boards, wound up and ripped a thundering slap shot past the overmatched goaltender. About 20 onlookers shouted out approval. The goal scorer, 17 year old standout Erik Johnson from the U.S. National Development Program, just winked in the direction of his new-found fan club.

"This is gonna be a fun weekend", he'd say after the practice concluded.

That could be the understatement of the year.

All of the participants in the first annual Prospect Cup hit the ice for the first time Thursday in Buffalo in preparation for the tourney's Friday night start. The U.S. Under-18's took the ice first and will be led by the aforementioned Johnson (shown above at right), a top prospect for the upcoming 2006 NHL Entry Draft. Also expected to make an impact for the NTDP are Buffalo native Patrick Kane and team captain Brian Strait (also shown above).<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/PeterMannino.jpg</div>

The University of Denver, the 2005 NCAA Men's Champions, were next to hit the ice. Peter Mannino (pictured) almost single-handedly guided the Pioneers to the Frozen Four win and will be counted on heavily again this season. Also sure to make contributions this weekend include Paul Stastny, son of NHL legend Peter Stastny and Buffalo Sabres prospect Chris Butler, who was drafted in the fourth round this past June. Also keep an eye on slick forward Ryan Dingle, who has shown a great scoring touch in recent games.

<div style="float: left; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/PhilKessel2.jpg</div>The Golden Gophers took the ice an hour later. The team is a who's-who of future NHL stars and is led by the phenomenally talented Phil Kessel (pictured). Kessel played for the NTDP last year and is in his freshman year at Minnesota. He will be one to watch this weekend. Also sure to grab attention are Ryan Stoa, Ryan Potulny and Blake Wheeler, all of whom are highly touted, NHL draft picks. Scouts feel this tournament is Minnesota's to lose.

The Sabres prospects were the last to practice today after getting a long practice in on Wednesday. The star of the brief Thursday session was the team's top pick in the 2005 draft, Marek Zagrapan. Creative and crafty, Zagrapan dazzled in his short time on the ice. Looking impressive at his side was London Knights forward Dylan Hunter, a ninth round selection in the 2004 draft who shot up the Sabres depth chart after a sizzling 104 point year in the OHL last season.

On defense, 6'4" defenseman Michael Funk from the Portland Winter Hawks of the WHL and Slava Buravchikov from Krylja in Russia were the standouts.

The Sabres Prospects take on the University of Denver in the opening game at HSBC arena tonight. The puck drops at 5:00pm for that contest. The game between the University of Minnesota and the U.S. National Development Program will follow at 8:00pm. Tickets are still available for $10 and are good for both games.

Wow, great start.

One question, did you make those awesome graphics of players? I'm thinking of starting an EHM (and WSM) dynasty and those are amazing.

[st.cronin]

I'm enjoying the renaissance of EHM dynasties. I may do a WJC dynasty!

[NoSkillz]

Wow, great start.

Thanks!

Yeah, I did make those little profiles using Photoshop. I'm no expert by any means but it's amazing what you can do with a little fiddling around! I just made the blue background, copied the player photo onto the left side and then typed in the player info.

Then, I saved each one as a seperate JPEG and I was set! :)

[Sublime 2]

nice read!

Definetly rooting for the BU alums on the Sabres!

September 10 2005 (Buffalo News) - Buffalo Sabres management hoped the Prospect Cup would give them an opportunity to see their young talent in a competitive and spirited atmosphere.

Needless to say, they must have liked what they saw last night.

The line of Marek Zagrapan, Dylan Hunter and Patrick Kaleta combined for eleven points to lead the Sabres to a 7-0 win over the University of Denver. The 2005 NCAA champions were no match for the speed and skill of the Buffalo prospects, getting outshot 57-17 in the contest.

Hunter, who scored two goals and added three helpers said "there was a lot of skating room out there tonight and we were able to capitalize a few times on odd-man rushes. Zags (Zagrapan) is just so much fun to play with; he's a magician out there and I look forward to getting the opportunity to play with him again down the road."

The modest Hunter contributed the highlight of the night, making a spectacular pass across ice to the waiting Zagrapan, who one-timed a howitzer past the beleaguered Denver goaltender Peter Mannino.

Zagrapan notched a goal and three assists in the contest and dazzled the crowd with pinpoint passes and his keen hockey sense. "It's a dream start for me with this organization", Zagrapan said. "My ultimate goal is to make the club right away but I'm not naive; the chances are slim."

"But if I continue to play well, I can make the decision awfully tough for them (management)", he said with a grin.

The game even saw a spirited tilt between Maxim Sheviev from Buffalo and Brock McMorris from Denver, a fight that saw the young Russian take down his much bigger opponent. "It's nothing", Sheviev said through an interpreter. "I want to make sure the team knows that I can do more than score goals."

Kaleta, Slava Buravchikov, Vasily Bizyaev, Marc-Andre Gragnani also scored for the Sabres.

For the Pioneers, Mannino was easily the best player on the ice, stopping many pinpoint shots from the Sabres to keep the score relatively acceptable. "They just have too much talent", pointed out head coach George Gwozdecky. "You could tell that they actually slowed down about half way through the second period and only shot when necessary. They could have had 75 shots if they kept firing." Sabres prospect Chris Butler also was solid for the Pioneers, as he played 23 minutes and wasn't on the ice for any goals against, a pretty remarkable achievement in a 7-0 game.

In the second game, Minnesota got two goals from Kris Chucko and singles from Phil Kessel, Chris Harrington, Ryan Potulny and Blake Wheeler in a 6-1 romp over the U.S. National Development Program. The NTDP's lone goal came from Ryan Flynn. First star Derek Peltier had three assists for the Golden Gophers.

Minnesota will now will face Buffalo in a game Saturday afternoon while the second half of the doubleheader will see Denver face the NTDP.

September 11 2005 (Buffalo News) - Mark Mancari (pictured) scored twice in the first four minutes of the game to lead Buffalo to a dominating 7-1 victory over the Minnesota Golden Gophers last night at HSBC Arena. With two victories and a +13 goal differential, the Sabres have all but guaranteed themselves a victory in the first annual Prospect Cup.

2005 second round draft pick Phillip Gogulla and top pick Marek Zagrapan both contributed three assists each in the game. Dylan Hunter, Vasily Bizyaev, Patrick Kaleta, Slava Buravchikov and Denis Ezhov were the other goal scorers in the contest.

The Sabres dominated the game to such a degree that coach Lindy Ruff was able to rest his top line of Zagrapan, Hunter and Kaleta for almost the entire second half of the game. Neither player spent ten minutes on the ice.

"The thing to remember is that this is a friendly competition at heart", Ruff would point out in his post-game interview. "I know the kids want to play and they want to score to impress the coaches and management but I'm not willing to run up the score in a game like this."

Ruff would admit he's a bit surprised at how dominating his club has been in the two games thus far. It won't likely be any different tomorrow in their final game of the tournament against the U.S. National Development Program. The NTDP has lost both games it's played so far. Yesterday, they were on the losing end of a 4-2 decision to the Denver Pioneers. Sabres prospect Chris Butler had a huge game, scoring once and adding two helpers in the contest. Highly touted center Paul Stastny also scored, as did Geoff Paukovich and Patrick Mullen, who incidently is the son of former NHL great Joe Mullen. Scoring for the NTDP were Buffalo native Patrick Kane and Tony Mosey.

Buffalo will face the U.S. squad in the first game tomorrow afternoon while Denver will go up against Minnesota in the nightcap. Tickets are still available for the doubleheader at the HSBC Arena ticket office.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Outstanding work on the player profiles, very impressive.

[duff88]

:D Unbelievable work! :D

Go Zagrapan!

You've got a small mistake though, you wrote U. of Denver instead of U. of Minnesota in the Powerplay category; no big deal though as I understand how much work this is. ;)

Zoinks! I'm just using the original box score as a template for future games...guess I forgot to change that cell. I'll correct that tonight!

September 11 2005 (Buffalo News) -
Vyacheslav Buravchikov doesn't speak a word of English. However, the huge smile on his face spoke volumes about his thoughts on the two goal, two assist performance he delivered in an 8-0 Buffalo Sabres victory over the U.S. National Development Program, a game marred somewhat by an old-fashioned brawl late in the contest. The Sabres perfect 3-0 record locked up the first annual Prospect Cup in resounding fashion.

"Every Russian hockey player dreams of playing in the NHL", Buravchikov said through an interpreter. "I'm only here for two weeks, so I have to play really well to make a positive impression for the future.

Buravchikov was spectacular in all three games and led the tournament in goal scoring with four. His seven total points made him the top scoring defenseman in the event.

Artem Kryukov scored twice in the victory as well, while Phillip Gogulla, Marek Zagrapan, Mark Mancari and Denis Denisov added singles. Gogulla (1g 3a) joined Buravchikov with four points on the night.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/SabresLogo2.jpg</div>

As mentioned, late in the game a huge scrum broke out when NTDP's David Kolomatis took exception to Branislav Fabry's tenacity in front of the net. Three fights broke out simultaneously and the end result saw all six participants kicked out of the game.

"It's a shame the game had to end like that", Sabres coach Lindy Ruff stated after the game. "Fabry was just going hard to the net and ran into the guy (Kolomatis). Obviously, he wasn't in the most accomodating of moods with the score the way it was but still it was pretty uncalled for."

Zagrapan, a huge force in all three games, was named tournament MVP after scoring two goals and adding eight assists in the event. Also considered for the award were Buravchikov, Gogulla (1g 6a), goatender Adam Dennis (2 shutouts, 0.33 GAA) and Dylan Hunter (3g 4a).

"I'm just happy I'm getting a chance to show the team what I can do", Zagrapan said after the game. "I felt really comfortable on the ice the whole tournament and I just hope I can get the opportunity to play in a real NHL exhibition game."

In the last game of the tournament, R.J. Anderson, Ryan Potulny, Dan Irmen and Brian Borgen all scored for Minnesota in a 4-2 win over Denver. The Pioneers got goals from J.D. Corbin and Ryan Dingle. The Golden Gophers finished second in the tournament, winning two of their three games. The Pioneers finished third while the U.S. National Development Program finished at the bottom with three losses.

Buffalo News
September 14 2005 (Sunrise, FL) -
With all the buzz surrounding this past weekend's Prospect Cup, you may have forgotten the fact that the 'real' Buffalo Sabres strolled into the Queen City on Saturday to begin training camp.

"We conducted our team orientation and fitness tests on Saturday morning and we're extremely pleased with the results", new Sabres GM Matt Bosela stated. "It is obvious that the players were committed to their individual offseason programs because almost every player showed up in top shape."

The man turning the most heads in the early stages of camp is highly touted rookie winger Thomas Vanek. The young Austrian has been lined up with pivot Daniel Briere and right winger J.P. Dumont and has been racking up points by the bushel load, with three goals and two assists in the two intersquad scrimmages.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/ThomasVanek.jpg</div>

"That line has looked very, very good so far", Bosela said. "Actually, I'm really happy with the pace and spirit of the scrimmages overall. Lindy, Scotty (Arniel) and Cutch (Brian McCutcheon) have been running great practices and the guys seem to have a lot of jump."

Bosela went on to talk a bit about the Prospect Cup, calling it "a resounding success" and also indicated that it will definitely be an annual event.

"We might change up the teams a bit next year", he said. "Maybe have teams from the Canadian Junior system, or even bring in some pro teams from overseas. I was quite surprised by how one-sided the games were but that just shows that our system is looking pretty good right now."

Bosela went on to rave about the play of some of the prospects, namely 2005 top pick Marek Zagrapan, Dylan Hunter, Vyacheslav Buravchikov and Phillip Gogulla. When asked if any of the youngsters have a chance to make the big club, Bosela was at his diplomatic best.

"I can only hope that the kids put together similar performances against the pros as they did against the collegians. It would be a definite longshot for any of them to make it this year but never say never."

The Sabres are in Sunrise, Florida to take on the Panthers tonight in their first preseason game of the year. Bosela said that the club intends to evaluate as many players as possible over the first few games. "We play again tomorrow night back in Buffalo and I will tell you that you won't see anyone playing both games. We have sixty guys in camp and want to get as many of them into a game as possible."

Bosela did add that he's in talks "with many teams" about the goaltending logjam in Buffalo. He admits that "something has to be done and the sooner the better."

Ryan Miller will start in goal tonight for the Sabres. Game time is 7:00pm and is radio only.

Buffalo News
September 15 2005 (Sunrise, FL) -
Despite three point nights from linemates Jochen Hecht (pictured) and rookie Jason Pominville, the Buffalo Sabres lost a 4-3 decision to the Florida Panthers in NHL preseason action last night at BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida.

Hecht potted two goals and added a helper while Pominville took a positive step towards making the team by scoring the other goal and adding two assists. Their centerman, Chris Drury, contributed two assists as well.

"We were very shaky in the first period, especially the young kids who played tonight", coach Lindy Ruff pointed out in the post-game interview. "After looking like we were back in it with Jochen's first goal, Nieuwendyk scores right at the end of the period to kill any momentum we had."

Ruff is talking about Joe Nieuwendyk potting a rebound with only six seconds left in the first period, which gave the Panthers a 3-1 lead going into the dressing room.

The Sabres came out firing in the second period. First, Hecht scored his second on the powerplay and then Pominville wired home a beautiful one-timer to knot things at three. However, rookie Kenndal McArdle scored on rebound with three minutes remaining in the third to give the Panthers a lead they wouldn't relinquish.

Martin Gelinas and Olli Jokinen scored the other Florida goals.

Ruff played Drury with Hecht and Pominville, Derek Roy centered Clarke MacArthur and Mark Mancari, Chris Taylor was in the middle of Branislav Fabry and Michal Vondrka and Maxim Sheviev centered Marek Dubec and Jakub Hulva.

On defense, Ruff's pairings were Dmitri Kalinin and Teppo Numminen, Brian Campbell and Henrik Tallinder, Mike Card and Michael Funk and finally, Brandon Smith and Calle Aslund.

The Sabres will be back at it tonight back at HSBC Arena in Buffalo for a contest against the Edmonton Oilers. Game time is 7:00pm.

Buffalo News
September 15 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
While training camp linemate Marek Zagrapan seems to be getting all the press, 2004 ninth round pick Dylan Hunter is going about his business and impressing everyone who comes into contact with him.

"Here's a kid that comes into junior hockey with the burden of being the son of an all-time great NHL'er", Ruff notes, speaking of former super-pest Dale Hunter. "Not only that, but most think he only makes the team because his dad is the coach."

"So what does he do? Prove his detractors wrong with a 104 point performance. We're thrilled that he's in our organization and he's on his way to eventually becoming a part of this team."

Hunter is the team leader in points in the three intra-squad scrimmages with seven (3g 4a). He had the exact same numbers in the Prospect Cup.

"This kid isn't here to just impress us", Ruff enthused, "he's here to make the team outright. And I love that about him."

Hunter will be in the lineup tonight as the Sabres take on the Edmonton Oilers down at HSBC Arena.

Buffalo News
September 16 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Sabres rookie Thomas Vanek was dominating in his first look at NHL opposition, scoring three goals and adding an assist in a 6-1 Buffalo win over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.

J.P. Dumont (pictured bottom right) contributed two goals of his own and Marek Zagrapan completed the scoring in the last minute of the game. Vanek, Dumont (2g 1a), Toni Lydman (3a) and Daniel Briere (3a) all had multipoint games. Jani Rita scored the only goal for the Oilers.

"It's great to get some early success but the real games don't start until October", Vanek pointed out after the game. "I'm really fortunate to be getting a chance to play with Danny (Briere) and J.P. They're both talented and experienced players and we seem to have meshed pretty well right from the start."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/JPDumont2.jpg</div>


Martin Biron was excellent in the Buffalo net on a relatively quiet night, turning away 19 of 20 Edmonton shots. "It's nice to get the first one under my belt", he stated. "There's a lot of competition right now for the goaltending spots and I just want to prove that I belong in the mix for that number one position."

Ruff utilized the following line combinations in the victory: Briere centered Vanek and Dumont, Tim Connolly was inbetween Ales Kotalik and Maxim Afinogenov, Marek Zagrapan was in the middle of Dylan Hunter and Patrick Kaleta while Artem Kryukov centered Phillip Gogulla and Vasily Bizyaev.

On defense, Ruff employed Jay McKee and Toni Lydman, Denis Ezhov and Vyacheslav Buravchikov, Marc-Andre Gragnani and Sylvain Dufresne and lastly, Andrej Sekera with Denis Denisov.

Ruff was very pleased with the win, "especially because it was our second game in two nights." He did say that he hopes for more balanced scoring in the games ahead. "Right now, we're only getting scoring from one line per game. You'll need more people stepping up when the season starts in October, that's for sure."

The Sabres will be back in action on Saturday night, September 17th in Chicago to face the Blackhawks.

Buffalo News
September 18 2005 (Chicago, IL) -
It's not often you see a player rewarded as first star of the game and then immediately get sent back to junior hockey. But that's exactly what happened to young Blackhawks forward David Bolland, after his one goal, two assist performance led Chicago to a 6-4 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night.

"A great way to finish camp", an upbeat Bolland exclaimed after the game. "They told me to go back to London and rip the league apart and I hope I get my chance in Chicago next year." Bolland will likely team up with Sabres prospect Dylan Hunter to make a formidable pairing for the defending Memorial Cup champion Knights.

Eric Daze scored twice for the Hawks while Bolland, Michael Holmqvist, Pavel Vorobiev and Bryan Bickell scored singles.

Jochen Hecht, Adam Mair, Paul Gaustad and Daniel Paille scored for Buffalo, with Gaustad and Paille each garnering two points (1g 1a) on the night. The Sabres fielded a lineup filled mostly with players employed by Rochester last season.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/PaulGaustad2.png</div>

"Our goal is to evaluate everyone in the organization and tonight was one of those nights where the lineup was a bit low on experience", coach Lindy Ruff said. "Still, I expect more out of the defense and our goaltending was not up to par tonight."

Ruff utilized the following line combinations in the game: Chris Drury centered Hecht and Jason Pominville, Gaustad was inbetween Paille and Chris Thorburn, Adam Mair was in the middle of Taylor Pyatt and Mike Grier while Jiri Notovny centered Michael Ryan and Andrew Peters.

On defense, Ruff employed Brian Campbell and Henrik Tallinder, Rory Fitzpatrick and Jeff Jillson and lastly, Doug Janik and Nathan Paetsch.

The Sabres don't play again until Tuesday night, when they face the Columbus Blue Jackets at HSBC Arena. Game time is 7:00pm.

Buffalo News
September 20 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
New Sabres defenseman Teppo Numminen (pictured) contributed four assists and was named first star in a 6-0 destruction of the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night at HSBC Arena.

The Sabres iced a lineup a little more similar to what will be seen on opening night and thoroughly dominated the contest, outshooting the Blue Jackets a whopping 49-19.

Thomas Vanek scored two more goals, while Maxim Afinogenov, J.P. Dumont, Clarke MacArthur and Dmitri Kalinin added singles. Vanek now has five goals in two preseason games. Mika Noronen (pictured bottom right) played extremely well and made several big saves to earn the shutout.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/MikaNoronen2.jpg</div>

"Everyone keeps saying that I'm the odd man out here", indicated Noronen. "We've got four excellent keepers in camp and I just have to keep going out and playing hard in practice and making the most of any chance I get to play in games."

"I want to be a number one goaltender in this league and I can't let my concentration falter for one second."

Numminen (4a), Vanek (2g 1a), Daniel Briere (3a), Dumont (1g 1a) and Kalinin (1g 1a) all contributed multi-point games.

Ruff utilized the following line combinations in the victory: Briere centered Vanek and Dumont, Tim Connolly was inbetween Ales Kotalik and Afinogenov, Derek Roy was in the middle of MacArthur and Mark Mancari while Paul Gaustad centered Daniel Paille and Sean McMorrow.

Buffalo News
September 21 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Buffalo Sabres GM Matt Bosela announced today that forwards Sean McMorrow and Mark Mancari have been reassigned to the Rochester Americans of the AHL.

"Sean will need to work on his footspeed down in Rochester, as the game is moving even faster than ever before with the new rules", Bosela offered. "The days of having a one-dimensional tough guy are over."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/MarkMancari.jpg</div>

Mancari received plenty of praise from Bosela after contributing three goals and an assist in the Prospect Cup. "He's been one of the pleasant surprises of camp, that's for sure", he said. "He is very green still and we're thrilled that he's going to learn the pro game with us in Rochester."

Speaking of the Amerks, Bosela also was unhappy to report that Rochester head coach Randy Cunneyworth has accepted a job with the NHL's Colorado Avalanche as an assistant. In the wake of Cunneyworth's departure, Rochester GM Jody Gage has hired 46 year old American Darryl Williams as his replacement. Williams coached the UHL's Kansas City Outlaws in 2004-05.

"We hope that Mr. Williams is just another in a long line of successful Amerks coaches and trust that he will contribute to our prospects' development in Rochester for years to come", Bosela remarked.

Buffalo News
September 23 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
The Buffalo Sabres stormed the net of beleaguered Blues goaltender Reinhard Divis all night, peppering him with 62 shots in a 7-3 victory last night at HSBC Arena.

Maxim Afinogenov (pictured) and Jason Pominville (below right) both scored twice for the Sabres, while Ales Kotalik, Derek Roy and Jochen Hecht notched singles. Afinogenov (2g 1a), Hecht (1g 2a), Chris Drury (3a), Pominville (2g), Roy (1g 1a) and Kotalik (1g 1a) all had multipoint games.

St. Louis got goals from Blake Evans, Scott Young and Andy Roach.

"Just a dominating performance offensively", enthused coach Lindy Ruff. "However, we have to tighten up quite a bit in our own end if we're to continue our success in the regular season. We allowed entirely too many odd-man situations in the defensive zone and Ryan (Buffalo goaltender Miller) had to stand on his head to keep them at bay."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/JasonPominville2.png</div>

Pominville is one of the great stories of camp and continues to make life difficult for Sabres management, who have to make a decision soon on the final cuts in camp.

"I've had a couple good years in Rochester and know I have to score if I want to make the club", implied Pominville, who has three goals and three assists in his three preseason games. "Today was a bit different, playing with Al (Kotalik) and Chris (Drury) but we seemed to gel out there right away."

"I want to get Connolly going so I changed things up a bit and put Hecht out there with him", Ruff indicated. "I thought it was his best game I've seen in quite some time from him." Connolly had ten shots on net and was robbed on a number of them but did contribute an assist in addition to a +3 rating.

Ruff's lines included: Druy centering Kotalik and Pominville, Connolly was inbetween Hecht and Afinogenov, Derek Roy was in the middle of Taylor Pyatt and Chris Thorburn while Adam Mair centered Clarke MacArthur and Andrew Peters.

On defense, Ruff employed Toni Lydman and Jeff Jillson, Brian Campbell and Rory Fitzpatrick and finally, Doug Janik and Henrik Tallinder.

Buffalo News
September 25 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
The HSBC Arena was sold out as usual as the Toronto Maple Leafs came to town for a preseason matchup with Buffalo. The Peace Bridge was packed with excited Leafs fans coming over the border from Southern Ontario, anticipating a competitive game with their local rivals.

What they got was one of the most one-sided games in either team's history, as the Buffalo Sabres completely decimated the Maple Leafs 12-1. The Sabres led an incredible 8-0 after one period; the shots in that period favoured Buffalo 33-6!

This isn't some minor league team we're talking about. Belfour, Lindros, McCabe, Sundin, Kaberle, O'Neill, Tucker, Domi...they all played! Or maybe they were imposters just wearing their jerseys.

Maxim Afinogenov (2g 3a) struck for five points on the night with linemates Tim Connolly (2g 1a) and Jochen Hecht (1g 4a) also getting in on the fun. Other goals came from Dmitri Kalinin (1g 1a), Chris Drury (1g 2a), Ales Kotalik (1g 2a), Thomas Vanek (1g 1a), Mike Grier, Brian Campbell (1g 2a) and J.P. Dumont (1g 1a). Jay McKee and Jeff Jillson each contributed 2 assists. There were only four Sabres who didn't garner a point: Martin Biron (the goalie), Daniel Paille, Chris Taylor and Daniel Briere.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/TimConnolly2.jpg</div>

"Well, it looks like the lines work!", coach Lindy Ruff exclaimed to laughter in the post-game interview.

No kidding.

"It got a bit uncomfortable there at the end of the first", Ruff continued. "You never expect to look up and see an eight up there after one period. I was really getting on the guys in the dressing room to be more selective with their shots the rest of the way. We put up something like thirty in the first period (33) and I'm a big believer in putting as many shots on goal as possible but in this situation, with a divisional opponent, you've got to slow down."

Pat Quinn was relatively calm after his team's dreadful performance.

"I could tell you it's just the preseason but we all know that something this ugly can have a huge psychological effect on the team. We're going to have to drill into these guys that an effort like tonight is completely unacceptable."

Quinn would conclude that "they kicked our butts. We were completely undisciplined, especially in the first period. But with all due respect to Buffalo, there wasn't one single guy on our team that skated out there tonight."

Bryan McCabe scored the only Toronto goal, and that came with less than three minutes remaining to ruin Biron's shutout chances.

Ruff utilized the following lines: Briere centered Vanek and Dumont; Drury was in the middle of Kotalik and Jason Pominville; Connolly centered Hecht and Afinogenov; Taylor was in the middle of Paille and Grier. On defense, it was McKee and Lydman, Kalinin and Numminen and lastly, Campbell and Jillson.

This was Buffalo's last preseason home game. The club will hit the road for games in Calgary and Vancouver to end the preseason.

Can I keep it up? It's a good question, as this has been a lot of work but the answer is yes, without doubt.

This dynasty will be slow moving that's for sure; I may have to shorten the game writeups just a bit down the road but for now, I'm okay with the time spent doing the writeups. I think I'm finding my groove.

I plan on actually doing MORE for the regular season (Pregame writeups, mostly little tidbits about our opponents and a weekly 'Hockey News' column with happenings across the league). We'll see if I can get everything in there.

I might eliminate a couple of things to lessen the load: I might not include the penalties in the box scores to save some time and I may eliminate box scores for preseason games only starting next year (not overly necessary for preseason).

I will be preparing a Hockey News story in time for the regular season's start, with their rankings of all the NHL clubs, projected MVP's, key newcomers, Overrated/Underrated players, Top rookie candidates, cap situations and average age.

As far as the Sabres, the cap situation is not an issue: right now, with 29 guys still in camp, my payroll is at about $33 million, well under the $39 million cap. I may end up slightly over budget (which is set at $29 million) but we'll see...I still have a trade or two to make and may also have to put a defenseman on waivers.

Buffalo News
September 25 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League named Sabres prospect Marek Zagrapan as its first player of the week after he put up five goals and one assist in only two games last week.

In much more upsetting news for Sabres management, prospects Dylan Hunter and Adam Dennis were both given their outright release from the London Knights organization due to having too many overage players already on the team. While the move to release Dennis can be understood, Sabres GM Matt Bosela was stunned about Hunter getting cut, due to the fact his father is the owner and coach of the club.

"I'm extremely disappointed that Dale (Hunter) couldn't find room on his team for Dylan, who's not only his son but a phenomenal hockey player, a 100 point producer and he has been a great leader in that locker room over the past couple of years."

Bosela said he plans to wait a week or two to see if either player is picked up by another junior club. If this doesn't happen, he said Buffalo would attempt to sign both players to an entry-level deal and assign them to their affiliate in Rochester.

"Ideally, we'd like to see both of these players spend one more year in junior but we'll do whatever is necessary to ensure both kids get on the ice with a team soon."

WHAT!!!!....Dylan Hunter released by the Knights....that makes no sense.....can you assign him to the AHL now?

[NoSkillz]

WHAT!!!!....Dylan Hunter released by the Knights....that makes no sense.....can you assign him to the AHL now?

My thoughts exactly. The Knights already had their allotment of overagers by the time I sent Hunter and Dennis back and they were released almost immediately. The A.I. should evaluate who the better players are and keep them.

Hunter definitely would be the best overager on the club so you're right, it makes no sense to drop him.

I don't have Hunter or Dennis signed yet but I will get them signed if they don't hook up with another junior team and then assign them to either Rochester or my ECHL affiliate (in Dennis' case).

Buffalo News
September 27 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
The Buffalo Sabres announced today that left winger Daniel Paille has been reassigned to their AHL affiliate in Rochester.

Paille had one goal and one assist in three preseason games.

"We're pleased with Dan's progress thus far and look forward to him contributing more offensively down on the farm this year", indicated GM Matt Bosela.

"The organization has high hopes for Dan in the years to come."

Bosela also announced that former Toronto Maple Leafs trainer Brent Smith has been signed to a contract. As per club policy, contract terms were not released.

"Brent was the best trainer available on the market and we think he'll compliment Tim (Macre, the Sabres current trainer) very well. In this day and age, it's vital to have more than one physiotherapist on staff and Brent will contribute in that regard."

Buffalo News
September 27 2005 (Calgary, AB) -
Jason Pominville is not only making life difficult for Buffalo opponents these days, but also for Sabres management.

Pominville, considered a long shot to make the club this year, scored twice and setup two others in helping the Sabres to a 5-5 tie against the Calgary Flames at the Pengrowth Saddledome Monday night.

"Jason is having a tremendous camp", indicated Lindy Ruff, "and he's made a really good case for himself here in Buffalo. That line (Pominville, Chris Drury and Ales Kotalik) have put goals on the board ever since we put them together."

"It would be tough to break them apart the way they're going", was all Ruff would say when asked if Pominville was going to make the team.

Drury contributed four assists on the night for the Sabres, who also got two goals from Derek Roy and one from Jeff Jillson. Marcus Nilson scored a pair of goals for Calgary while Craig MacDonald, Jarome Iginla and Lynn Loyns scored singles. Iginla (1g 3a) and Matthew Lombardi (4a) also had four point nights.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/JaromeIginla2.jpg</div>

The Flames took a commanding 3-1 second period lead before the Sabres stormed back with four consecutive markers to take their own big lead. However, the Flames would score twice in the last eight minutes to get the game back to even.

"It was a really fun, fast-paced game out there tonight", offered Flames captain Iginla. "We're disappointed in giving up the early lead but I'm really pleased overall with the comeback in the last ten minutes. A competitive game like this is great preparation for the regular season games just around the corner."

Ruff utilized the following line combinations in the tie: Daniel Briere centered Thomas Vanek and J.P. Dumont, Drury was inbetween Kotalik and Pominville, Roy was in the middle of Taylor Pyatt and Mike Grier while Paul Gaustad centered Adam Mair and Andrew Peters.

On defense, Ruff employed Dmitri Kalinin and Teppo Numminen, Jay McKee and Jillson and lastly, Rory Fitzpatrick and Henrik Tallinder.

The Sabres are heading to Whistler, British Columbia for some team bonding before wrapping up their preseason on Thursday night in Vancouver. The Sabres still have a number of roster decisions to make before the season starts on October 3rd.

Buffalo News
September 29 2005 (Vancouver, BC) -
The NHL's new rules have been the topic of countless conversations over the course of the preseason. Most agree something had to be done to open the game up for the skilled players; however, many have complained about all of the penalties being called, saying it disrupts the flow of the game and that special teams are now more important than five-on-five play.

Well, if the NHL wants to prove it's point to the naysayers, they'd be well advised to send a copy of last night's game between the Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks to every single one of them.

This was hockey the way it's supposed to be played.

In a wildly entertaining game that saw only five minor penalties and 69 combined shots, the Sabres took advantage of Jochen Hecht's two goals to score a 4-3 victory over the Canucks at General Motors place.

J.P. Dumont and Ales Kotalik were the other Sabres goalscorers while Markus Naslund, Todd Bertuzzi and Tyler Bouck tallied for Vancouver. The Sabres got multipoint games out of Hecht (2g), Toni Lydman (2a) and Tim Connolly (2a) while Naslund (1g 2a) and Bertuzzi (1g 1a) were multipoint producers for the Canucks.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/MarkusNaslund2.jpg</div>

"I've never really had the opportunity to play with Tim (Connolly) before but coach thought we'd compliment each other well", Hecht said after the game. "It's turned out really well in the preseason and we just hope that it continues when the season starts for real on Monday."

"Our team's depth is our greatest asset", Lindy Ruff indicated. "We can throw out three very solid lines; anyone in our top nine can score goals and that hopefully will be tough to handle for the rest of the league."

Ryan Miller got the start in goal and played well, stopping 29 of 32 shots thrown in his direction. Dan Cloutier took the loss for Vancouver.

Ruff utilized the following line combinations in the victory: Daniel Briere centered Thomas Vanek and Dumont, Chris Drury was inbetween Kotalik and Jason Pominville, Connolly was in the middle of Hecht and Maxim Afinogenov while Derek Roy centered Taylor Pyatt and Mike Grier.

On defense, Ruff employed Jay McKee and Toni Lydman, Dmitri Kalinin and Teppo Numminen and lastly, Brian Campbell with Jeff Jillson.

Buffalo still has a number of roster decisions to make in the next three days, as 28 players still remain with the team. All clubs must get down to 23 players before the season commences.

The Sabres finished the preseason with a 5-2 record with one tie. They open the regular season at home on Monday night versus the Boston Bruins. Game time will be 7:00pm.

Sabres Make Final Roster Cuts; Prepare for Season Opener<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/DerekRoy2.png</div>

Buffalo News
September 30 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
The Buffalo Sabres announced that the following players have been sent to their AHL affiliate in Rochester:

Paul Gaustad
Andrew Peters
Derek Roy
The club also announced that they have placed goaltender Michael Leighton and center Chris Taylor on waivers, with the intention of sending them to the farm team in Rochester.

These moves get the Sabres down to 23 players.

"Derek and Paul had very good camps but we really only had one spot up for grabs at the pivot position", indicated Sabres GM Matt Bosela. "Timmy (Connolly) had a phenomenal camp and earned the right to center our third line this year."

"I expect to see both Derek and Paul get a chance sooner, rather than later with our club."

The Sabres still have three goaltenders on the roster in Martin Biron, Ryan Miller and Mika Noronen. Bosela tantalizingly says "it's a situation we've been trying to rectify for quite sometime now but it looks as if we're getting close to making an announcement in that regard."

Bosela wouldn't comment on who was going to start in net on opening night.

Here are the 23 players currently on the Sabres roster (* denotes rookie):

GOALTENDERS (3) -
Martin Biron, *Ryan Miller, Mika Noronen

DEFENSEMEN (8) -
Brian Campbell, Rory Fitzpatrick, Jeff Jillson, Dmitri Kalinin, Toni Lydman, Jay McKee, Teppo Numminen, Henrik Tallinder

FORWARDS (12) -
Maxim Afinogenov, Daniel Briere, Tim Connolly, Chris Drury, J.P. Dumont, Mike Grier, Jochen Hecht, Ales Kotalik, Adam Mair, *Jason Pominville, Taylor Pyatt, *Thomas Vanek

Buffalo News
October 2 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
The Buffalo Sabres announced that they have traded goaltender Mika Noronen and an unsigned prospect, defenseman Denis Ezhov to the Phoenix Coyotes for their 2nd and 6th round picks in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

GM Matt Bosela expressed some disappointment with the move but insisted it was necessary. "Going into the season with three goaltenders was just not an option for us. We could have sent Ryan (Miller) down to the minors but he's pretty much accomplished everything possible there already and he needs to play in the NHL to continue his development."

"Mika was a true professional in every sense of the word and will be missed by everyone in the organization."

Noronen was a first round pick (#21) back in 1997 and leaves the Sabres with a 21-29-6 record over his 63 career games, posting a 2.55 goals against average. He also notched 6 career shutouts.

Ezhov, chosen by the Sabres in the 4th round (#114) of the 2003 Entry Draft, participated in his first big league camp this year but hasn't played an official NHL game as of yet.

Bosela also announced that both Chris Taylor and Michael Leighton have cleared waivers and have been sent to the team's affiliate in Rochester.

In one other move, forward Andrew Peters was recalled from the Americans and will rejoin the Sabres for practice tomorrow morning in preparation for tomorrow's opening night matchup with the Boston Bruins. Game time at HSBC Arena is 7:00pm.

Buffalo News
October 4, 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Sabres forward Ales Kotalik was foiled by Boston goaltender Andrew Raycroft in the fifth round of the NHL's first ever shootout, giving the Bruins a 5-4 opening night win last night in front of an energetic crowd at HSBC Arena.

The shootout began promisingly for the Sabres, as both Daniel Briere and rookie Thomas Vanek scored. However, Bruins forwards Sergei Samsonov and Joe Thornton also scored, making it 2-2. The Sabres had a chance to end it after Brad Isbister missed on the third penalty shot but Maxim Afinogenov couldn't put the winner away. Glen Murray started the sudden death portion of the shootout with a goal but was matched by a beauty from Tim Connolly to send the event to the fifth round, where Brad Boyes eventually gave the Bruins the win.

The Sabres still get a point for the shootout loss.

J.P. Dumont had two goals and an assist in the game, with Briere contributing a goal and two assists. Tim Connolly (2a) also had a multipoint game. Thomas Vanek scored his first NHL goal midway through the second period.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/JPDumont2.jpg</div>

Samsonov, Nathan Robinson (first NHL goal), Travis Green and Tom Fitzgerald scored for Boston. Thornton had two assists in the game as well.

Ryan Miller got the start in goal for the Sabres and was merely average, stopping 26 of 30 shots. Raycroft was much busier for the Bruins, getting peppered with 42 shots overall.

"That (the shootout) is a tough way to lose a game", Lindy Ruff would say after the game. "I thought we outplayed them from the outset but you have to give them credit for coming back late in the game to tie."

"The Bruins will be a tough team this year."

The Sabres are back in action on Thursday in a game versus the Maple Leafs in Toronto. Game time at Air Canada Centre is 7:30pm.

no whining about the reffing from the Bruins?

:p Haha. I assume you're referring to the powerplay advantage the Sabres had.

Let's just say if they had actually lost, I'm sure something would be coming out from them, even in this virtual world! :D

Buffalo News
October 5 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Buffalo Sabres GM Matt Bosela announced yesterday that defenseman Rory Fitzpatrick has been traded to the San Jose Sharks for a 3rd round pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

"Rory is a guy who fell victim to the numbers game here in Buffalo", Bosela said. "It's not a good situation for Rory, nor is it good for the rest of the team when you have eight capable blueliners on the roster at the same time. This move will allow Rory to get some much deserved playing time and also will allow our current defensemen to free up their games a bit, knowing they aren't going to be yanked out of the lineup for one little mistake."

Fitzpatrick signed as a free agent with Buffalo in August 2001 and logged plenty of miles travelling back and forth from Rochester. However, he found some consistent playing time with the Sabres in 2003/04, spending the whole year in Buffalo and participating in 60 games and logging career highs in every statistical category with four goals and seven assists.

Fitzpatrick leaves the Sabres having played in 154 career NHL games, with 5 goals and 13 assists.

Buffalo News
October 7 2005 (Toronto, ON) -
It wasn't quite as dominating as the 12-1 preseason debacle but the Sabres will certainly take the 3-0 shutout victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs in last night's game at Air Canada Centre.

Martin Biron was spectacular in his first start of the season, turning away all 34 Toronto shots in the win.

"I really saw the puck well out there tonight", Biron said after the game. "Things were happening fast but my concentration seemed to be there and my defensemen were doing a great job clearing the rebounds. There weren't many second chance opportunities out there, thankfully."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/AdamMair2.jpg</div>

Adam Mair led the way offensively and physically, scoring two goals against his former team and picking up 17 minutes in penalties on the night, including a huge win in a fight against Toronto's Wade Belak.

"Well, that stuff happens I guess", Mair would say. "We were up pretty convincingly early and the guy (Belak) wanted to get his team fired up. Too bad for him, because I was pretty pumped up already with the two goals. That's the first time I've scored two in a game since juniors."

Chris Drury scored the other Buffalo goal. Mike Grier notched two assists in the contest as well.

Ed Belfour manned the cage for Toronto and made 31 saves in the contest. The Leafs lost defenseman Alexander Khavanov in the third period, as he appeared to injure his leg.

Buffalo's next game is at home on Saturday October 8th against the Los Angeles Kings. Game time is 7:00pm.

Buffalo News
October 9 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Tim Connolly is finally starting to show Buffalo fans what all the fuss was about when he came over in the Michael Peca trade a few years ago.

Connolly notched his first ever two-goal game in the NHL and added an assist in a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings last night at HSBC Arena. Jason Pominville scored his first career National Hockey League goal for the Sabres, who also received goals from Maxim Afinogenov and Ales Kotalik. Afinogenov added an assist in a multipoint effort.

Jeremy Roenick and Luc Robitaille scored for Los Angeles.

"It's been a long time since I remember having the confidence I do know", stated Connolly after the game. "I had a terrible year, obviously, in 2002-03 and then got the concussion in the preseason in September 2003 that kept me out the whole year. Doubt sets in but the concussion worries are finally behind me. I worked out really hard in the offseason and have really made an effort to round out my game defensively as well."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/JeremyRoenick2.jpg</div>

"Coach (Lindy Ruff) is showing faith in me by giving me minutes on the penalty kill and it seems to be having a positive effect on me."

Ruff can't say enough positive things about Connolly. "To be honest, he was a huge question mark at the beginning of camp. He hadn't played NHL hockey in over two years and was really slumping when he last played. He showed up in phenomenal shape and really seems to grasp the idea that to be effective in this league, you have to be willing to go do the work at both ends of the ice."

"The transformation is almost incredible. He's been one of our best players right since the start of camp on the defensive side and is obviously still producing on offense as well."

The game saw an ugly incident mid-way through the second period, when Roenick caught Taylor Pyatt coming up the middle with a knee-on-knee hit. Pyatt was slow to get up but would recover. Roenick was assessed a five minute major and a game misconduct.

"It was a bulls&%t call", the ever outspoken Roenick indicated after the game. "I was pretty much standing still and the kid (Pyatt) collided with me."

"It's par for the course though. These guys (referees) have always been out to get me. It's really a f*&#ing disgrace."

The Sabres were unable to take advantage on the major penalty and had to rely on their goaltender to keep the Kings at bay. Martin Biron was solid in the Buffalo nets once again turning aside 24 of 26 shots. Felix Potvin played goal for Los Angeles, making 36 saves.

Henrik Tallinder and Andrew Peters were each scratched for the third time this year.

Buffalo next takes the ice in Atlanta on Tuesday October 11th to face Ilya Kovalchuk and the Thrashers. Game time will be 7:30pm.

Buffalo News
October 11 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Buffalo Sabres GM Matt Bosela announced last night that the team has signed former London Knights standout Dylan Hunter to a three-year entry level deal. As per club policy, contract details were not released.

"We're very happy to have this young man under contract with our organization", Bosela enthused. "Dylan absolutely exploded last year in London and we look forward to watching him develop his game in the professional ranks."

Hunter was surprisingly cut from the Knights roster just before the season was to begin by his father, former NHL standout Dale Hunter, who runs the Knights organization. Dylan scored 31 goals and added 73 assists for 104 points last year in London and rocketed up the Sabres depth chart with his performance.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/MarekZagrapan.jpg</div>

Hunter was assigned to the Rochester Americans last night.

In other news, two of Buffalo's top prospects were hurt in separate on-ice incidents. Marek Zagrapan, Buffalo's first round pick in this past year's draft, suffered a broken finger in a recent Chicoutimi game. Zagrapan was off to a tremendous start this season, winning Player of the Week honors in week one and compiling 13 points (6g 7a) in only 5 games. Zagrapan will likely miss two weeks with the injury.

His training camp linemate Patrick Kaleta was seriously injured in a recent Peterborough game. Kaleta, who was slumping quite badly at the start of the OHL season, partially tore his ACL in a 5-1 Petes victory over Oshawa. Kaleta will likely miss at least three months.

Buffalo News
October 12 2005 (Atlanta, GA) -
Peter Bondra and Patrick Stefan each scored a pair of goals to lead the Atlanta Thrashers past the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 on Tuesday night.

Jason Pominville scored twice for the Sabres and Thomas Vanek added a single marker. Ales Kotalik contributed a pair of assists in the loss. Greg de Vries contributed two assists for the Thrashers to join Bondra and Stefan with multipoint games.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/JasonPominville2.png</div>

Buffalo was able to take control of the game in the second period, outshooting the Thrashers by a 19 to 4 margin while taking a 2-1 lead on the scoreboard. Atlanta would come out firing in the third, however, with Stefan scoring twice and Bondra scoring from a bad angle to take a two goal lead. Pominville's second with about four minutes remaining gave the Sabres hope but Atlanta poured on the pressure late, not allowing the Sabres to pull goaltender Martin Biron for the extra attacker.

"We got a lot of shots off but most were from the perimeter as opposed to getting in close", coach Lindy Ruff said after the game. "We'll have to do a better job of getting traffic to the front of the net to take advantage of the rebounds."

Mike Dunham turned away 37 of 40 shots to earn the victory, while Biron was a bit shaky for the first time this season, stopping 31 of 35 Thrasher shots.

Henrik Tallinder and Andrew Peters were scratched for the Sabres.

Buffalo News
October 14, 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Brian Campbell has spent the last number of years wondering if he'd be in the lineup on a game-by-game basis. Always the odd man out, Campbell continues to make a case for more playing time, contributing his first goal of the season and adding an assist in a convincing 5-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues at HSBC Arena last night.

Maxim Afinogenov, Jochen Hecht, Daniel Briere and Thomas Vanek also scored for the Sabres. Afinogenov, Briere and Vanek all added an assist as well to join Campbell with multipoint games.

St. Louis captain Dallas Drake was the only player to beat Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller.

Campbell says the big game won't go to his head. "I have to keep working hard to stay in the lineup", he said. "I'm smaller than most guys so I have to use my speed and play well positionally to be effective. It certainly doesn't hurt when I put some points on the board too!"<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/RyanMiller.jpg</div>

Miller wasn't overly busy in the Sabres net but was solid when called upon, turning away 23 St. Louis shots. Patrick Lalime was much busier, as the Sabres pelted him with 44 shots on the night.

"They capitalized on their powerplay tonight", Lalime pointed out. "The new rules emphasize special teams more than ever and we didn't do a good enough job limiting their chances. But they have a great powerplay, certainly one of the best in the league from the stats and it came through for them tonight."

Henrik Tallinder saw his first action of the year and was very solid. Jeff Jillson and Andrew Peters were scratched for the Sabres.

Other Sabres Notes -
Goaltending prospect Adam Dennis was signed to a three-year entry deal by the club last evening. Contract terms, as usual, were not announced. General Manager Matt Bosela indicated that the club was attempting to find a place for Dennis to play, as their affiliates in Rochester and Bossier-Shreveport already are set at the goaltender position.

Bosela also went on to say there are a few other players not getting enough ice time in Rochester, due to the shared affiliation agreement in place with the Florida Panthers. Therefore, the Sabres are exploring other alternatives, including the possibility of loaning a few of the prospects to other teams in order to get them valuable playing time.

Buffalo News
October 17 2005 (St. Paul, MN) -
Minnesota forward Brian Rolston (pictured at left) scored on a brilliant individual rush, deking through three Buffalo defenders to put his team into a lead they wouldn't surrender, eventually prevailing 5-3.

Randy Robitaille scored twice for the Wild, including one into an empty net, with Filip Kuba and Kyle Wanvig scoring the other Minnesota goals. Ales Kotalik (pictured bottom right) scored twice for Buffalo and linemate Jason Pominville added a single marker. Kotalik (2g 1a) and Chris Drury (3a) both had three point nights go to waste.

With the game tied at three, Rolston took the puck at center ice, sped past two Sabres forwards, put a move on a startled Dmitri Kalinin and then ripped a wrist shot past goaltender Ryan Miller to take the 4-3 lead.

"The club has struggled quite a bit so far so we really needed the win tonight", Rolston said. "The goal is nice but I'm just happy to get the two points."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/AlesKotalik2.jpg</div>

Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff was very dissatisfied with his club's effort. "We never really got into a groove tonight. Our legs seemed tired and with the exception of the Drury, Kotalik, Pominville line, I didn't see much effort out there."

Ruff would conclude that "changes may have to be made if the guys don't start competing."

Brian Boucher made his second start for the Wild since being picked up in a trade from Phoenix a week ago and turned away 27 of 30 Sabres shots. Miller was not sharp, allowing 4 goals on 25 shots.

The Sabres will continue their three game road trip in Vancouver on Tuesday night. Game time will be 10:00pm EST.

Buffalo News
October 19 2005 (Vancouver, BC) -
Markus Naslund scored three times and the Canucks powerplay converted on four of five opportunities in a 7-2 destruction of the Buffalo Sabres last night at General Motors Place.

Todd Bertuzzi, Matt Cooke, Jason King and Sami Salo also scored for Vancouver. Naslund (3g 1a), Ed Jovanovski (3a), Bertuzzi (1g 1a) and Steve McCarthy (2a) all had multipoint games.

J.P. Dumont and Daniel Briere scored for Buffalo and each added an assist. Linemate Thomas Vanek assisted on both Buffalo goals.

The Sabres lost sniper Ales Kotalik late in the first period to an ACL sprain. Coach Lindy Ruff says the injury doesn't look to be too serious. "It's just a sprain, thankfully, so he should be back in a couple of weeks", Ruff indicated. "We were in the game until he got hurt so it shows how big a part he plays for this club. We looked lost after the lines were shifted around but really, it came down to poor penalty killing and poor goaltending."

"We'll be devoting more time to the penalty kill in practice and may change our personnel as well."

Martin Biron got chased from the game after allowing the fourth Vancouver goal. Ryan Miller wasn't much better, allowing a goal on the first shot he saw and three goals overall.

The defeat marks the first time the Sabres have lost two in a row all year. Things don't get any easier for the club, as they'll face the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night.

Other Sabres Notes -
Chris Taylor, who had been playing in Rochester, has been fined and suspended by the Buffalo Sabres after he refused a loan assignment earlier this week.

"We need to get some of our prospects some playing time and it's proving to be difficult with our shared affiliation right now", pointed out Sabres GM Matt Bosela. "I wanted to ensure Chris got playing time as well and had a loan agreement arranged for that purpose. However, Chris refused and I have no choice but to suspend him for conduct detrimental to the organization."

Bosela went on to say that he's attempting to trade Taylor in an effort to free up room in Rochester.

In related news, two Sabres prospects did accept loan assignments. Both Jiri Novotny (C) and Adam Dennis (G) will be reporting to the Hamilton Bulldogs, rivals of the Americans in the AHL. "It will be something I'm monitoring on a daily basis", Bosela said. "We need those kids to get playing time and Hamilton has promised they will see the ice. If they don't, I'll bring them back and find someone else who will play them."

Neither player had seen game action for the Americans this year.

Buffalo News
October 20 2005 (Denver, CO) -
The Colorado Avalanche erupted for three goals in the first period and eased to a 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres last night in Denver. Alex Tanguay scored his seventh goal of the season in the win, with Patrice Brisebois (pictured), Pierre Turgeon and Dan Hinote also scoring for the Avalanche. Chris Drury was the only Sabre to beat David Aebischer on the night.

The Sabres gave up multiple odd-man rushes in the first period and looked completely outmatched early in the contest. The Avalanche would outshoot Buffalo 16 to 8 in the first period.

"It was easily our worst twenty minutes of the year", coach Lindy Ruff said after the game. "We were completely listless out there. Our defensive zone coverage was extremely poor and it's something we'll have to work on in practice this weekend."

Martin Biron was left on his own most of the night and fared about as well as could be expected, stopping 30 of 34 shots. Aebischer was excellent all night, turning away 25 of 26 from the Sabres.

Teppo Numminen suffered a thigh contusion late in the contest and will likely miss a few games.

Buffalo went 0-3 on the western road trip and returns home to face the Montreal Canadiens in the comfortable confines of HSBC Arena on Sunday night. Game time is 7:00pm.

Other Sabres Notes -
Chris Taylor had a change of heart and accepted his loan assignment. Taylor has been loaned to the Manitoba Moose and will join Jiri Novotny tomorrow night. Novotny, originally expected to play with Hamilton, instead will be playing with the Moose.

"Chris didn't want to uproot his family but understands that this is a business", GM Matt Bosela said. "Chris has been with this organization for a number of years and has always been a true professional. We're very happy he made this decison."

Buffalo News
October 23 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Sabres GM Matt Bosela announced that Derek Roy has been recalled from Rochester and will dress tonight in the game against the Montreal Canadiens.

Roy (pictured) played four games with Rochester so far this year, scoring four goals and adding two assists and was a plus seven in those contests.

"Connolly is going to shift over to the left wing to make room for Derek, and we plan on reuniting him with Pominville tonight", indicated coach Lindy Ruff. "We need to shake things up a bit and I think this line will be dangerous tonight."

Teppo Numminen was placed on IR along with Ales Kotalik due to their injuries. Both players are eligible to come off injured reserve in seven days.

Buffalo News
October 23 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Rookie Thomas Vanek and linemate J.P. Dumont each scored once and added assists within a 21 second span early in the second period, leading Buffalo to a 3-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens last night in front of a sellout crowd at HSBC Arena. The win ended a three game losing streak for the Sabres.

Jason Pominville also scored his team-leading fifth of the season, while Niklas Sundstrom notched the only goal for Montreal. Goaltending for both teams was excellent, as Martin Biron turned away 26 of 27 Canadiens shots while Jose Theodore stopped 38 of 41 shots fired his way by the Sabres.

"It was a much better defensive effort by the guys tonight", Lindy Ruff said after the game. "We have some injuries and the guys really pulled together and played a smart, focused game. There was a lot of effort and determination out there and that's great to see."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/JPDumont2.jpg</div>

"We'll need the same type of effort back in Montreal on Tuesday night."

Andrew Peters was the only scratch for Buffalo on the night, as the team is only carrying 21 healthy players at the moment. Ales Kotalik and Teppo Numminen will both miss at least a week with their respective injuries.

The Sabres play the back end of a home-and-home series with Montreal on October 24th at the Bell Centre. Game time in Montreal is 7:30pm.

Buffalo News
October 25 2005 (Montreal, PQ) -
Every one of the 82 games on the Sabres schedule is meaningful. However, for guys like J.P. Dumont, Martin Biron and Daniel Briere, games played at the Bell Centre in Montreal are much more special.

The Montreal-born Dumont (pictured) scored once and added two assists in a 4-2 Buffalo win last night against the Canadiens. Gatineau, Quebec native Daniel Briere also scored in his homecoming, with Chris Drury and Brian Campbell contributing single markers as well. Dumont (1g 2a) and Tim Connolly (2a) notched multipoint games.

Lac St. Charles native Martin Biron was uniformly excellent, stopping 26 of 28 Montreal shots.

Andrei Markov and Mathieu Dandenault scored for Montreal. Jose Theodore once again got the start in goal for Montreal and saved 34 of 38 Buffalo shots.

"We went out there and played an excellent road game", coach Lindy Ruff said after the game. "Positionally, we were pretty good but still gave up a few too many odd-man rushes. It's something we'll have to work on in practice."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/AndreiMarkov2.jpg</div>

Ruff also lauded the efforts of the underappreciated fourth line. "Mairsy (Adam Mair), Grier and Pyatt were excellent all night and really set the tone with their physical play."

"We need that kind of effort and determination on the road"

Andrew Peters was once again scratched for the Sabres.

Teppo Numminen and Ales Kotalik both skated in pre-game practices. Ruff says that Numminen should be ready to go for the game against New Jersey on Thursday night while Kotalik will be kept out of contact drills in practice for a few more days while his ACL heals.

Buffalo News
October 27 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Jochen Hecht has never been a guy who gets flustered when things aren't going his way. He always just goes about his business and eventually good things happen.

Hecht, who came into the game with only two points on the season, broke out in a big way, scoring once and adding three assists in a 5-3 Sabres victory over the New Jersey Devils last night at HSBC Arena in Buffalo.

"I don't really feel I was playing poorly but the bounces just weren't going my way earlier this year", Hecht said after the game. "I was given some more opportunities to play today on the powerplay and I was able to take advantage."

Tim Connolly, Chris Drury, Brian Campbell and Maxim Afinogenov also scored for the Sabres. Hecht, Afinogenov (1g 1a) and Jason Pominville (2a) notched multipoint games. Paul Martin, Brian Gionta and John Madden scored for the Devils.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/TimConnolly2.jpg</div>

Martin Biron once again manned the pipes for the Sabres, turning away 29 of 32 New Jersey shots, while Martin Brodeur was uncharacteristically subpar, allowing five goals on 36 shots.

Lindy Ruff praised Hecht's work ethic through his scoring slump. "He's always one of the first on the ice at practice and one of the last guys off. He's played well defensively, as usual, and tonight the bounces went his way."

Andrew Peters and Jeff Jillson were the Sabres scratches on the night. Teppo Numminen returned from injury and looked a little shaky in his 15 minutes, going -1 on the night.

Buffalo News
October 31 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Sabres rookie goaltender Ryan Miller hasn't received much playing time lately. It didn't seem to hinder him in a 5-4 shootout victory over the Florida Panthers yesterday, as he stopped all three opposing shots in the exciting climax to the game.

Daniel Briere was the only shooter to score in the shootout, beating Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo to seal the victory. The Sabres were ahead 3-1 after one period but allowed the Panthers to comeback from two goals down to send the game to overtime.

Jochen Hecht continued his fine play recently, scoring two goals for Buffalo. Rookie forwards Jason Pominville (with his team leading sixth of the campaign) and Thomas Vanek also scored for the Sabres. Rostislav Olesz, Jozef Stumpel, Olli Jokinen and Stephen Weiss scored for the Panthers.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/JochenHecht2.jpg</div>

Sabres coach Lindy Ruff was happy with Miller's performance, even though he let in four goals.

"I thought Ryan played well tonight. Three of the four goals were point blank shots that were pretty much unstoppable but late in the third, he came up huge when Florida was pressing."

The Sabres once again outshot their opponent by a wide margin, peppering Luongo with 50 shots on the night. Florida put 38 shots on net.

Jeff Jillson, Andrew Peters and rookie goaltender Adam Dennis were the scratches. Dennis was recalled from loan due to the fact he wasn't getting any playing time in Hamilton. Sabres GM Matt Bosela indicated he would be working on alternative arrangements for both Dennis and Dylan Hunter, who currently is seeing little playing time in Rochester.

Other Sabres Notes -
Sabres winger Ales Kotalik resumed with contact drills in practice yesterday morning and likely will be back in the lineup in the game next week against New Jersey.

Buffalo News
November 2 2005 (East Rutherford, NJ) -
The New Jersey Devils came back from a 3-0 deficit midway through the first period, eventually taking a 5-4 shootout win over the Buffalo Sabres last night at Continental Airlines Arena.

Brian Rafalski (pictured) scored the shootout winner for the Devils after Buffalo's Tim Connolly couldn't foil goaltender Martin Brodeur. Rafalski (1g 1a) also scored in regulation, as did Patrick Elias, Viktor Kozlov and John Madden.

Daniel Briere scored twice for Buffalo, while Brian Campbell and Mike Grier scored singles.

Rafalski was pleased with the result. "Buffalo came out really hard to start the game and we really had no answer for their speed early on", he said. "They seemed to lose a bit of steam when McKee went down with the injury and we were able to take advantage on the powerplay to gain a bit more momentum."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/DanielBriere2.jpg</div>

Rafalski is referring to Sabres defenseman Jay McKee, who went down with a knee injury in the first. Coach Lindy Ruff indicated after the game that McKee is day-to-day at this point.

Martin Brodeur garnered the win in another average performance while Ryan Miller had some trouble for the Sabres, letting in some loose goals once again.

Ales Kotalik made his return to the lineup after missing 5 games with an ACL injury. He picked up an assist on the first Buffalo goal. Taylor Pyatt was scratched for the first time all season after struggling for the last number of games. Andrew Peters was also scratched for the 12th time this season.

Buffalo will be back in action once again on Thursday night in Buffalo, when the Edmonton Oilers come to town. Game time is 7:00pm.

Buffalo News
November 4 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
After the Edmonton Oilers scored on their first two shots of the game, Sabres fans might have thought that it would just be one of those nights.

However, Jochen Hecht and his Sabres teammates had other plans.

Hecht continued his recent hot streak in scoring once and adding two assists in a 5-3 Buffalo win over Edmonton last night at HSBC Arena. Maxim Afinogenov scored twice, with Tim Connolly and Adam Mair adding singles for the Sabres.

Todd Harvey, Fernando Pisani and Ryan Smyth scored for Edmonton.

Martin Biron settled down after the two quick goals and stopped 28 of 31 Edmonton shots for his sixth win of the season while Jussi Markkanen turned aside 35 of 40 from the Sabres.

"Jochen has really taken flight since being put on the powerplay and it's nice to have that carry over into five-on-five play", coach Lindy Ruff articulated after the game. "He's always been a responsible defensive player but he really blossomed for us offensively in '03 and it's finally coming together for him this year."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/MaximAfinogenov2.jpg</div>

Hecht has nine points (4g 5a) in his last four games. He credits his linemates for his recent success.

"It's hard to go wrong when you're playing with creative and talented players like Tim (Connolly) and Max (Afinogenov)", he said. "They're both so fast and skilled with the puck. All you have to do is find a slight opening and they will find you."

Jeff Jillson got back into the lineup in place of the injured Jay McKee and was a -1 on the night but mostly played an efficient game. Andrew Peters and Taylor Pyatt were the only scratches for Buffalo on the night.

The Sabres continue a short home stand on Sunday night in a game against the defending Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning. Game time is 7:00pm.

Other Sabres Notes -
Sabres GM Matt Bosela announced that prospects Dylan Hunter and Adam Dennis were being reassigned to the ECHL.

Hunter will be suiting up for the Stockton Thunder while Dennis will man the cage for the Columbia Inferno.

"It's vitally important that these players get the opportunity to play in order to continue their development for the organization", Bosela remarked. "Dylan has been seeing fourth line minutes in Rochester but we really want to see what he can do in the pro ranks on a scoring line."

Hunter had one assist in seven games with Rochester before being reassigned.

"Dennis hasn't even suited up for a game and will now have every opportunity of earning playing time in Columbia."

Buffalo News
November 5 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Two Buffalo Sabres defensemen suffered injuries in practice yesterday. Dmitri Kalinin suffered a lower leg contusion while Brian Campbell came down with olecrannon bursitis.

Kalinin's injury doesn't look to be serious and Lindy Ruff indicated after the practice that he expects him to play on Sunday night against Tampa Bay.

However, the news isn't so good with Campbell's injury, one that will likely keep him out of the lineup for a couple of weeks.

"Brian will need to rest for awhile with this one and we've decided to put him on the I.R.", Ruff said.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/BrianCampbell2.jpg</div>

Kalinin is Buffalo's number one defenseman and leads Sabres blueliners with seven points (7a) on the year. He has a -3 rating.

Campbell has been a great offensive contributor thus far, especially on the powerplay, and will be missed. He's already set a career high in goals with four and has two assists as well and is a +1 on the year.

Sabres GM Matt Bosela has recalled defenseman Doug Janik from Rochester to take Campbell's roster spot while he's on the injured reserve list. Janik had three assists in twelve games with Rochester and has an even plus/minus rating.

In related news, Jay McKee continues to rehab his knee injury and is likely still a few days away from returning to full practice.

Buffalo News
November 6 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Maxim Afinogenov scored two goals and added an assist in an emphatic 7-3 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning last night in front of a sellout HSBC Arena crowd.

The high scoring, free-wheeling affair saw the Sabres also get goals from Ales Kotalik, Daniel Briere, Thomas Vanek, Chris Drury and J.P. Dumont. Afinogenov (2g 1a), Dumont (1g 2a), Vanek (1g 2a), Drury (1g 1a), Briere (1g 1a), Tim Connolly (2a) and Jochen Hecht (2a) all had multipoint games for Buffalo.

Brad Richards, Martin St. Louis and Dan Boyle scored for Tampa Bay.

The game featured countless end-to-end rushes, many odd-man situations and even excellent goaltending at times.

The Sabres seemingly had the game well in hand midway through the second, leading 5-2 when Mike Grier was pulled down in front of the Tampa net and subsequently awarded a penalty shot.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/ThomasVanek2.jpg</div>

Grier was stopped on the penalty by Lightning goaltender Sean Burke and it seemed to temporarily motivate his teammates, as Boyle scored to pull Tampa to within two.

However, Martin Biron was excellent in the third period, stopping many pinpoint shots by the opposition.

"Marty was great tonight", Lindy Ruff would say postgame. "We had some breakdowns out there but that's to be expected against a team as talented as Tampa. Lecavalier was everywhere tonight...I can't believe we were able to keep him off the scoresheet!"

Doug Janik saw his first action of the year and played over 12 minutes of solid hockey. Buffalo scratched Taylor Pyatt and Andrew Peters for the contest.

The Sabres will travel to Long Island for their next game, taking place on Wednesday night against the Islanders in the first of a home-and-home series. The puck will drop at 7:30pm.

Buffalo News
November 9 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Sabres GM Matt Bosela announced last night that the club has traded winger Andrew Peters to the Colorado Avalanche for a 2007 third round pick.

Peters (pictured) only participated in one game for the Sabres this season, going without a point.

"Our club just didn't have room for Andrew and we felt it was only fair to move him to a club that was interested in playing him", Bosela said. "He was great in the dressing room and the guys will miss him."

Peters leaves the Sabres with two goals in 43 career games. He put up 151 penalty minutes for the club as well.

In other news, Jay McKee returned to practice yesterday morning, pain-free for the first time in a week after experiencing a knee injury. However, the club would lose another defenseman later in the practice, as Henrik Tallinder strained his neck. Tallinder is day-to-day.

Bosela also announced that Derek Roy has been sent back to Rochester.

"Derek needs first line minutes to continue his development and getting 8-10 minutes a night in Buffalo just isn't good enough. I'm quite certain he'll be recalled soon."

Buffalo News
November 10 2005 (Uniondale, NY) -
Former Sabres standout Miroslav Satan scored once and assisted on another, while goaltender Rick DiPietro turned away every Sabres shot except one in a 5-1 victory over Buffalo last night at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

The Islanders thoroughly dominated the game through two periods, outshooting the Sabres 20-9 and eventually chased Martin Biron from Buffalo's cage after two quick goals at the start of the third period. Only Taylor Pyatt's fluke goal with less than a minute remaining beat DiPietro.

Mark Parrish scored twice for the Islanders, with Satan, Brent Sopel and Oleg Kvasha notching singles. Parrish, Satan, Sopel (1g 1a), Alexei Yashin (2a) and Jaroslav Modry (2a) had multipoint games for the Islanders. Former Sabre Alexei Zhitnik drew one assist in the contest.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/RickDiPietro2.jpg</div>

"It was nice to play a good game against them", Satan said after the game. "I'm a little sore that they didn't offer me a deal during the free agency period but I guess they feel they have enough offense without me."

"I'm happy playing with the Islanders right now."

Sabres coach Lindy Ruff was livid after the game with regard to the team's effort in the contest.

"We didn't skate at all out there tonight", he said. "They completely outclassed us in the first two periods and we really didn't see any hustle until after I pulled Marty. I felt bad for him out there. The team just did absolutely nothing for him."

Ruff would actually single out the lackluster play of new addition Teppo Numminen, saying his effort was "absolutely unacceptable".

Numminen would not comment on this statement from the head coach.

Henrik Tallinder (neck) and Brian Campbell (olecranon bursitis) were the only scratches for Buffalo.

The only positive is that the Sabres get another crack at the Islanders tonight in the second of a home-and-home series back in Buffalo. Ryan Miller will get the nod in goal for the Sabres, with the puck dropping at 7:00pm

Buffalo News
November 11 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Chris Drury said that the veterans on the team would have to lead by example with their effort in order to bounce back after a humiliating defeat the night previous.

He certainly did his part.

Drury scored twice and added an assist in a Sabres 5-3 victory over the New York Islanders in the second of a home-and-home series. Thomas Vanek, Maxim Afinogenov and J.P. Dumont scored singles for Buffalo. Drury and Dumont (1g 1a) notched multipoint games for the Sabres.

Brad Lukowich, Arron Asham and Alexei Yashin scored for New York.

"Lindy wanted a high-pace forecheck tonight and I think we delivered", Drury said after the game. I thought all four lines played really well and Millsy (Ryan Miller) made the big saves when called upon."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/JPDumont2.jpg</div>

Miller turned aside 26 of 29 Islander shots for his third victory of the year. Rick DiPietro started in goal for New York once again and was peppered with 43 shots on the night.

Henrik Tallinder and Brian Campbell were once again the only scratches on the night, as they both continue to recouperate from their respective injuries.

Notes - Doug Janik's assist on the first Drury goal was his first career NHL point. Dmitri Kalinin played in his 300th NHL game tonight and J.P. Dumont scored his 200th career point in a Sabres uniform. Jason Pominville is scoreless in five consecutive games but he's a +3 during that period.

Buffalo News
November 15 2005 (Raleigh, NC) -
Sabres defenseman Toni Lydman tied two long-time team records in notching his first goal of the season and adding four assists in a 6-3 triumph over the Carolina Hurricanes at the RBC Center last night.

Lydman's four assists are the most by a Sabres defenseman since 1989, when Phil Housley accomplished the feat in a game against the Quebec Nordiques. Bill Hajt is the only other Sabres defenseman with four assists in a game, with his performance coming in 1976 against the New York Rangers.

Lydman's five points also tie Housley, who scored a goal in that Nordiques game in addition to the four assists. John Van Boxmeer also notched five points in a 1981 game against the New York Islanders.

"Everything bounced my way tonight", Lydman understated after the game. "Playing with Jay (McKee), a great defensive player, gives me some opportunities to pinch in on rushes and finally some things went my way."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/ThomasVanek2.jpg</div>

"It was just a magical night!"

Thomas Vanek scored two goals for Buffalo, with singles going to Lydman, J.P. Dumont, Jochen Hecht and Maxim Afinogenov. Lydman, Vanek, Hecht (1g 1a) and Daniel Briere (2a) had multipoint games.

Cory Stillman, Erik Cole and Radim Vrbata scored for Carolina. Rod Brind'Amour, a force all game, had three assists in the game, while Cole (1g 1a) and Vrbata (1g 1a) joined him with multipoint games.

Ryan Miller turned aside 25 of 28 Carolina shots for his fourth win of the year while Martin Gerber had a rough night in the Hurricanes cage, saving 34 of 40 Sabres shots.

The Sabres will be back in action tomorrow night in Sunrise, Florida to take on the Panthers. Game time is 7:30pm.

Notes - Both Lydman and Dmitri Kalinin scored their 100th career NHL points in the game. Lydman's +17 rating leads the entire NHL. Injured defenseman Henrik Tallinder resumed full practice yesterday. Coach Lindy Ruff indicated that Tallinder would likely be back in the lineup for the Panthers game. Brian Campbell remains sidelined with bursitis.

Buffalo News
November 16 2005 (Sunrise, FL) -
Jochen Hecht, the fourth Sabres shooter, scored the only shootout goal to earn Buffalo a 5-4 win against the Florida Panthers last night at BankAtlantic Center.

J.P. Dumont (pictured) contributed two goals and added an assist, while linemate Thomas Vanek scored once and notched two assists. Adam Mair scored the other Sabres goal.

Defenseman Jay Bouwmeester scored twice for Florida, with Olli Jokinen and Gary Roberts adding singles. Bouwmeester (2g 1a), Jokinen (1g 1a), Roberts (1g 1a) and Derek Morris (2a) had multipoint games for the Panthers.

The Panthers got off to a quick start, scoring twice in the first two minutes against the tired Sabres, who had played the night previous. However, Buffalo was able to turn the tide late in the first frame, getting a number of good chances that were thwarted by Jamie McLennan, making only his second start of the year for Florida.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/JayBouwmeester2.jpg</div>

The Sabres finally got on the board midway through the second period, utilizing their #2 ranked powerplay to full effect. They would eventually take the lead in the third but give up a late equalizer on the powerplay after a very undisciplined minor penalty from the usually reliable Mike Grier. Grier would also get a 10 minute misconduct on the play, frustrating coach Lindy Ruff.

"Mike knows better than that", Ruff stated. "We're out there protecting a lead late and his outburst cost us the lead and almost the game. Emotion got the best of him but he has to realize that emotions must be kept in check in that situation."

Martin Biron was shaky early but brilliant in overtime and the shootout to win his eighth game of the year. McLennan dropped his second decision in as many starts for Florida.

Teppo Numminen was a healthy scratch for the Sabres for the first time this season. Brian Campbell was the only other scratch, as he continues to recover from injury.

Ruff indicated that Campbell will likely be returning soon.

Buffalo News
November 16 2005 (Boston, MA) -
Sabres defenseman Brian Campbell returned to full practice for the first time in almost two weeks and will be ready to play tomorrow night against the Boston Bruins. With the return of Henrik Tallinder last night against Florida, Buffalo is now completely healthy.

With that being the case, Sabres GM Matt Bosela sent Doug Janik back to Rochester. Janik will have to clear waivers before suiting up with the Amerks.

"Doug played great hockey for us while Brian and Henrik were out nursing their injuries", Bosela said. "He's the consummate pro and we are lucky to have a man with his character in our organization.

Janik notched one assist in his five game stint with the Sabres and had a plus 1 rating.

Buffalo News
November 17 2005 (Boston, MA) -
Tim Connolly's second goal of the night midway through the third period was enough to give the Buffalo Sabres a 5-4 win over the Boston Bruins last night at TD BankNorth Garden.

Maxim Afinogenov, J.P. Dumont and Ales Kotalik also scored for the Sabres. Afinogenov (1g 2a), Connolly (2g), Jay McKee (2a) and Chris Drury (2a) notched multipoint games for Buffalo.

Glen Murray scored twice for Boston, Andrew Alberts (with his first NHL goal) and Travis Green notching singles.

Ryan Miller made 30 saves to win his fifth game of the year while Andrew Raycroft took the loss for Boston, allowing five goals on 41 Buffalo shots.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/MaximAfinogenov2.jpg</div>

Lindy Ruff was upset at some lackluster defensive play in the second period, which allowed the Bruins to tie the game heading into the intermission. "We stopped competing for about five minutes and it almost cost us the game. Guys weren't picking up their assignments and we won't tolerate that lack of effort."

"Thankfully, we were able to prevail in spite of the defensive lapses."

Teppo Numminen was scratched for the second consecutive game with the return of Brian Campbell to the lineup. Campbell was effective, picking up an assist and a +1 rating.

Ruff says that Numminen will play in the next game against Carolina back in Buffalo.

Buffalo News
November 20 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Maxim Afinogenov continued his recent tear, scoring twice and adding an assist in a 6-3 Sabres victory over the Carolina Hurricanes last night at HSBC Arena.

This is the second 6-3 Sabres win over Carolina in less than a week.

Ales Kotalik, Daniel Briere, Tim Connolly and Chris Drury also scored for Buffalo. Afinogenov, Briere (1g 1a), Connolly (1g 1a), Brian Campbell (2a) and Jochen Hecht (2a) had multipoint games.

Struggling forward Matt Cullen scored his first two goals of the season for the Hurricanes, with Justin Williams scoring the other. Newly acquired defenseman Mike Komisarek notched two assists for Carolina.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/DanielBriere2.jpg</div>

Even with the three goal victory, coach Lindy Ruff was hardly in a celebratory mood after the game.

"Our defensive zone coverage is absolutely horrible at times", he said. "Cullen's first goal was due to a boneheaded giveaway by Kalinin and those plays can just demoralize a team."

"We've got to get those awful plays out of our system."

Martin Biron turned aside 27 of 30 Carolina shots while the Hurricanes Martin Gerber will likely be soaking in a hot tub all day today, after seeing Buffalo throw 49 shots his way.

Henrik Tallinder was scratched for the Sabres. Teppo Numminen finally got back in the lineup and played a little over 18 minutes, going +1.

Other Sabres Notes -
Daniel Briere notched his 100th point as a Sabre in the game; Toni Lydman, who picked up five points last week in a game against Carolina, was held off the scoresheet and was a horrific -3 in this contest; Sabres prospect Adam Dennis was reassigned to the ECHL Stockton Thunder last night - he still hasn't seen game action this season.

Buffalo News
November 22 2005 (Kanata, ON) -
Sabres center Tim Connolly's goal was the deciding factor in a wonderful contest last night at the Corel Centre outside of Ottawa, as Buffalo prevailed 3-2 over the Senators.

Martin Havlat was the first to score in the shootout after Buffalo's Daniel Briere was stopped by Dominik Hasek to open the event. After a Dany Heatley miss, rookie Thomas Vanek backhanded one past Hasek to even the shootout at one. Daniel Alfredsson would get stopped by Martin Biron to set up the winner by Connolly.

Jeff Jillson scored his first ever goal for Buffalo in regulation, with Briere also scoring. Defenseman Brian Campbell had two assists for the Sabres.

Brian Smolinski and Zdeno Chara scored for Ottawa. Wade Redden had two assists for the Sens.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/ZdenoChara2.jpg</div>

The game was a matchup of the two top point-getters in the Eastern Conference and both teams delivered in that regard. Great skating, big hits, wonderful goaltending.

It was all there.

"This was a big test for our club, coming into Ottawa and facing the top team in the league", coach Lindy Ruff would offer.

"I thought we played a beautiful game. We came with pressure in the first period and I feel we dominated in the first twenty minutes. Smolinski's goal was one I'm sure Marty would like back. But he came out and basically held us in the game in the second, when Ottawa really turned it on."

"I thought we controlled the third period but what can you do about Chara?", Ruff pondered. "The guy just has an absolute howitzer back on the point and no goaltender could have stopped that shot."

Biron picked up his tenth win of the season, turning aside 25 of 27 Ottawa shots. Hasek lost for the fourth time this year, making 24 saves.

Ottawa native Derek Roy was called up by the Sabres before the game and centered Chris Drury and Ales Kotalik, as struggling rookie Jason Pominville was scratched by Ruff. Roy was sent back to Rochester after the game.

Pominville is pointless in November, a stretch of nine games.

Henrik Tallinder was also a healthy scratch for Buffalo for the third consecutive game.

Buffalo News
November 24 2005 (New York, NY) -
Center Daniel Briere scored two goals and goaltender Ryan Miller turned aside 28 shots in a 4-2 Buffalo Sabres win over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden last night.

Tim Connolly and Brian Campbell also scored for the Sabres. Campbell also had an assist to join Briere with a multipoint game.

Jaromir Jagr, who scored 24 seconds into the game and Tom Poti replied for New York. Kevin Weekes allowed four goals on 34 Buffalo shots.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/TimConnolly2.jpg</div>

"With the exception of the early goal they put up, I thought we played a textbook road game", Lindy Ruff would say. "Millsy played great in net, our special teams were solid and our five-on-five play was excellent as well."

The momentum really turned with Connolly's goal. With the game knotted at one, Connolly stripped Darius Kasparaitis of the puck behind the Rangers net, wheeled in front and backhanded a shot past a stunned Weekes. There were only five seconds left in the period.

"That goal was absolutely huge for us", Ruff indicated.

The red-hot Sabres have now won seven games in a row and garnered points in 14 of their last 15 games, a remarkable achievement for a team predicted to finish near the bottom of the NHL standings.

"No one on this club put much stock into the naysayers and their predictions", Ruff said. "We know that the guys in this dressing room can play hockey. The problem with those rankings is that team chemistry isn't factored in."

Henrik Tallinder was a healthy scratch for the fourth consecutive game but Ruff confirmed that he will dress tonight, as the team is back in action at home against their division rival Montreal Canadiens. Martin Biron will get the call in goal for the Sabres. Game time at HSBC Arena is 7:00pm.

Other Sabres Notes -
The annual Canada-Russia challenge series in the Canadian Junior Leagues began last night with the QMJHL All-Stars taking on the Russian Selects. Sabres prospects Marek Zagrapan and Marc-Andre Gragnani both are participating for the Quebec League. Gragnani picked up an assist while Zagrapan was held off the scoresheet in the two-game series. The Russians won both games and move on to play the OHL All-Stars next.

Buffalo News
November 24 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
For a guy who was pencilled in as the team's seventh defenseman before the year began, Brian Campbell is doing quite well for himself and his team, thank you very much.

Campbell, flourishing with additional ice time this year, scored his fifth goal of the young season and added two assists in a 6-3 Buffalo win over the Montreal Canadiens last night at HSBC Arena.

Rookie Thomas Vanek scored twice for Buffalo, while Campbell, Jeff Jillson, Jochen Hecht and Taylor Pyatt added singles. Campbell, J.P. Dumont (3a), Vanek (2g), Hecht (1g 1a) and Daniel Briere (2a) notched multipoint games.

Richard Zednik, Saku Koivu and Alex Kovalev scored for Montreal. Zednik (1g 2a) and Koivu (1g 1a) had multipoint games for the sluggish Canadiens, who only showed life when the Sabres started giving their third and fourth liners more ice time in the third.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/ThomasVanek2.jpg</div>

Coach Lindy Ruff continues to be impressed with Campbell's play.

"Brian has been a man possessed right from the start of camp", Ruff would say. "He was determined to prove to everyone here that he was capable on the backend, something that certainly was a weakness for him in prior years."

"He's not only cleaned up his game in the defensive zone but has really blossomed offensively as well. We always knew he had that dimension to his game but he's finally showing the rest of the league."

"It's great to see."

Campbell has an incredible 9 points in his last four games, most coming from the third defensive pairing. Ruff indicated that the strong play from Campbell and defense partner Jillson will be gaining them additional ice time in the games ahead.

The win was Buffalo's eighth in a row, as they continue to chase the Ottawa Senators for top spot in the Eastern Conference. Goaltender Martin Biron was sharp, stopping 31 of 34 Montreal shots while Cristobal Huet wasn't so fortunate in a rare start, allowing six goals on only 30 shots.

Teppo Numminen was Buffalo's only scratch on the night. The Sabres major free agent acquisition in the preseason has struggled with the speed in the 'new NHL' and Ruff says Numminen is working hard in practice to regain his place in the lineup.

The Sabres have three days off before facing the Atlanta Thrashers on Sunday down at HSBC Arena. Atlanta may be without star forward Ilya Kovalchuk, who's nursing an upper body ailment.

Other Game Notes -
There was a minor brawl midway through the game, with Jay McKee squaring off with the Canadiens Andy Zulyniak and Adam Mair facing Garth Murray. All four players received game misconducts while the other six skaters received minors for roughing. The rest of the game went without incident.

Buffalo News
November 26 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Preseason predictions by so-called experts had the Buffalo Sabres finishing anwhere between ninth place and 14th in the Conference. The club is defying their critics with superb play through the first two months of the season, as they continue to challenge for first place in the competitive Eastern Conference.

There has been some intense media speculation recently regarding the Sabres chances of continuing their fine run of play.

When asked, new Sabres general manager Matthew Bosela, like a seasoned veteran, simply stated that he is "quietly confident of the team and the system we have installed. Everyone in the organization is buying into the team-first philosophy and I love the direction that we're taking."

His words were music to the ears of fans and management.

Bosela's confidence in his team's chances of success has pleased those at Sabrefans.com, who ran an opinion poll on Bosela's work to date.

"The overwhelming response from our members indicate that Bosela has their utmost respect for his work thus far and they hope he stays with the team as long as possible", a representative from the website said.

Even team owner Thomas Golisano got into the act, saying he's extremely pleased with his manager's attitude and performance and hope the winning trend continues.

Bosela, when asked to comment, would only say that he "appreciates the support from fans and management but the season is still young."

"We still have months of hockey left", he would add. "Our first goal is to get to the postseason and then go from there."

NOTE: I'm not pimping myself, these 'opinion polls' and comments from Golisano are actually in the game! Funny stuff!

Those must've been some crowded penalty boxes! You got 3 guys serving minors in each box! Nothing like the refs throwing everyone on the ice in the box! :eek:

Buffalo News
November 28 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
There hasn't been much to worry about during the Buffalo Sabres recent run of fine play but if you're picky, penalty killing would certainly qualify as something that could be improved on.

The unit, which came into the game ranked 24th in the 30 team league, killed off all five Atlanta powerplays and scored twice while shorthanded in a 5-2 victory last night at HSBC Arena.

The win is the ninth in a row for the Sabres and coupled with Ottawa's 3-0 loss to Philadelphia, propels Buffalo into first place in the Eastern Conference.

Chris Drury scored twice for Buffalo, with Mike Grier, Jason Pominville and Taylor Pyatt also adding markers. Pominville's goal was his first point in twelve games. Drury (2g 1a), Grier (1g 1a), Pyatt (1g 1a), and Jochen Hecht (2a) all had multipoint games.

Greg de Vries and Marian Hossa, with his team-leading 15th, scored for the Thrashers.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/JasonPominville2.png</div>

Ryan Miller got the call in goal for Buffalo and was solid when called upon, turning aside 25 of 27 Atlanta shots to earn his seventh victory of the year. Mike Dunham was pretty much left to fend for himself for the first two periods, as he got shelled with 35 shots through the first forty minutes. Fortunately for Dunham, Sabres coach Lindy Ruff reduced the ice time of his top players in the third period and Buffalo would only direct three more shots his way in the final frame.

"Our penalty killing has actually been coming along nicely over the past couple of weeks", Ruff would say after the game. "We've settled into a groove with our personnel and our tactics seem to be working. We've allocated extra practice time for this purpose and the hard work seems to be paying off quite nicely."

Atlanta played with seven defensemen due to the absence of star winger Ilya Kovalchuk, who has missed three games with a mysterious chest injury. Coach Bob Hartley wasn't impressed with his team's effort in the loss.

"We are giving up entirely too many odd man chances", he indicated. "The laziness of our powerplay personnel was evident as well. It's completely inexcusable to give up two shorthanded goals in one game."

Hartley was so incensed with his club that he had the whole team skate for over an hour after the game was completed.

Teppo Numminen was once again a healthy scratch for Buffalo. The Sabres will play again Wednesday night against another team suffering from injuries in the Columbus Blue Jackets, who will be without star forward Rick Nash, who's on the I.R. with a dislocated shoulder.

Buffalo News
December 1 2005 (Columbus, OH) -
Well, it had to end sometime.

The Columbus Blue Jackets outskated, outhit and outhustled their supposedly superior opponent last night but still found themselves behind after two periods. A Manny Malhotra goal early in the final frame drew them even and then with only eight seconds left in regulation time, Danny Fritsche wristed a shot past Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller to give Columbus a well-deserved 4-3 victory.

The loss ends the Sabres winning streak at nine games.

Columbus also got goals from Trevor Letowski and Jan Hrdina while the Sabres received goals from Daniel Briere, Thomas Vanek and Henrik Tallinder. Dmitri Kalinin had three assists for Buffalo in the game.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/DmitriKalinin2.jpg</div>

The Sabres played without intensity for most of the night and practically abandoned Miller for prolonged periods in the contest. He was forced to thwart five breakaways but ultimately would surrender a winning goal he'd like to have back, as Fritsche's shot was one of the weaker efforts on the night.

Coach Lindy Ruff was not pleased with the performance.

"There was no desire out there tonight. Columbus beat us to every puck and were able to take the puck away with alarming frequency. We were also undisciplined late in the game, taking two penalties in the last five minutes."

"That type of effort is just not acceptable. But I must commend Columbus for playing a really solid game. They are a team that our guys likely underestimated due to the standings and we ultimately paid the price for that overconfidence."

"It's good we get another crack at them tomorrow night."

Indeed, the Sabres will once again face the Blue Jackets tonight back in the comfy confines of HSBC Arena. Teppo Numminen, who once again was scratched, will play tonight, as will Derek Roy, who was called up by the club after last night's loss.

Ruff wouldn't say who would be sitting out in the return matchup but did say that Marty Biron would be manning the cage for the Sabres. Game time is 7:00pm.

Buffalo News
December 1 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Buffalo Sabres winger Thomas Vanek was honored today as the NHL's Rookie of the Month for November.

Vanek played 14 games in the month, scoring 8 goals and adding 8 assists for 16 points. He had a +4 rating and 2 penalty minutes as well.

"It's a great honor to win this award but really, the only thing that matters to me is the team and its success", Vanek would politely say.

Vanek is the first Sabres rookie to win the monthly award since Ales Kotalik accomplished the feat back in January of 2003.

Buffalo News
December 2 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
The Buffalo Sabres bounced back from a poor effort the night previous to upend the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 at HSBC Arena.

J.P. Dumont, Ales Kotalik, Maxim Afinogenov and Dmitri Kalinin, with his first of the year, scored for Buffalo. Chris Drury and Daniel Briere each picked up two assists in the win.

Recent addition Steve Begin scored both goals for Columbus.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/ChrisDrury2.jpg</div>

Martin Biron was solid in Buffalo's goal, making 25 saves on the night while Martin Prusek got the start for Columbus and turned aside 37 Sabres shots.

"Much better performance", Lindy Ruff said after the game. "It was a bit of a slow start for us but once we got that powerplay midway through the first, we settled down and started taking the play to them."

Ruff made a surprising move before the game, scratching regular Toni Lydman.

"Quite frankly, Toni just hasn't been sharp for awhile", he said. "There's been a falloff to his game after the five point effort from a couple weeks back. We don't expect him to score like that every game but he's been a bit lax in the defensive zone lately, maybe because of the big offensive outburst."

"We need to get the Lydman of old back in there."

Ruff also scratched the struggling Jason Pominville, who has only one point in his last 14 games. Derek Roy played in his place on the Drury line.

The Sabres have a couple days off before facing the New Jersey Devils here in Buffalo on Sunday night. Game time is 7:00pm.

Buffalo News
December 5 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
New Jersey Devils defenseman Brian Rafalski continued to be a thorn in the side of the Buffalo Sabres last night, scoring once and adding an assist in a 3-2 victory at HSBC Arena.

Patrik Elias, with his team-leading 13th goal and Colin White also scored for the Devils. Rafalski, White (1g 1a) and John Madden (2a) struck for multipoint games. Ari Ahonen got the surprise start in goal for New Jersey and was sensational, turning aside 22 Buffalo shots for his second win of the year.

Maxim Afinogenov, with his team-leading 14th goal and Daniel Briere scored for Buffalo. Briere's goal came in the last minute with goaltender Martin Biron on the bench.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/PatrikElias2.jpg</div>

"Not a good night", summed up Lindy Ruff. "New Jersey really took the play to us in the second period especially and we had no answer."

"I tried to juggle the lines a bit and even contemplated putting Millsy (Ryan Miller) in net to jump start the team but it was unfair to do that to Marty. It certainly wasn't his fault the team played like garbage in front of him."

Ruff went on to say that the play of certain individuals was "unacceptable" and roster moves could be made in the next couple of days to bolster the squad, who have lost two out of the last three games.

Buffalo News
December 5 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Sabres rookie Jason Pominville, who scorched the league in the preseason and in October, has been placed on waivers in order to be sent to Buffalo's affiliate in Rochester.

Pominville, who has 7 goals and 3 assists and a +4 rating in 26 games, will return to the Americans if he isn't claimed by the noon deadline on Wednesday.

Sabres coach Lindy Ruff says it was a confidence issue with Pominville.

"He's really struggling with his decision making out there", Ruff said after practice. "He's holding the stick too tight and making a lot of mistakes. That's death for a young player who's having trouble contributing offensively."

Pominville had only 1 point in his last 14 games after starting the season on a tear.

Ruff hopes Pominville can slip through waivers. "We definitely don't want to lose this kid", he said "and I fully expect him to regain his scoring touch in the AHL and hopefully he'll return sometime this season."

Derek Roy was recalled from the Americans to take Pominville's roster spot. Roy, who's already played 9 games for the Sabres this year (0g 2a) has been one of Rochester's best players this year, scoring 11 goals and adding 9 assists in 17 games.

Ruff said that the club may make another move in the next few days.

Sabres rookie Jason Pominville, who scorched the league in the preseason and in October, has been placed on waivers in order to be sent to Buffalo's affiliate in Rochester.

Risky move... I think he's going to get picked. Was it really worth the risk?

Risky move... I think he's going to get picked. Was it really worth the risk?
Maybe not, since he wasn't making much money ($450,000) and I have the roster space.

However, I want him to play and get his confidence level back up. If he does get picked up, I'd likely try to trade to get him back.

Also, Antti Laaksonen got waived by Colorado at the same time. He's more polished right now from an attribute perspective (although Pominville likely has a higher potential rating) so I'm hoping teams overlook Pominville for Laaksonen.

We'll see I guess! So far, so good. I'm at Tuesday evening and no bites yet!!!!

Buffalo News
December 7 2005 (Philadelphia, PA) -
The Philadelphia Flyers controlled play for most of the game, peppering Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller with 36 shots but Buffalo made the most of their limited chances in a 5-2 win at Wachovia Center last night.

Jochen Hecht, Daniel Briere (pictured above), Chris Drury, Thomas Vanek and Maxim Afinogenov scored for the Sabres. Hecht, Drury, Vanek and Briere all had a goal and an assist while Mike Grier had two assists in his first game playing on a line with Hecht and Drury this year.

Joni Pitkanen and Brian Savage scored for Philadelphia, who received subpar goaltending from Robert Esche in the contest<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/ThomasVanek2.jpg</div>

"It's certainly the first time we've been outshot two games in a row", Lindy Ruff said after the game. "Our puck pursuit was lacking tonight and we'll have to improve in that area for the return matchup on Thursday night."

Indeed, the Sabres will once again encounter the Flyers tomorrow night back in Buffalo. The puck drops at 7:00pm. Ryan Miller is expected to start once again for the Sabres.

"He was absolutely tremendous for us tonight", Ruff indicated.

Buffalo News
December 8 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
The Florida Panthers waited until the last second and swooped in on Sabres rookie Jason Pominville.

Pominville, who was waived by the Sabres on Monday evening, was picked up by Florida GM Mike Keenan. Since Pominville lasted almost the entire 48 hours before being scooped, he was able to be placed in the AHL.

To add insult to injury, Pominville will play with the Rochester Americans as Florida property due to the shared affilliation with Buffalo.

Buffalo general manger Matthew Bosela was infuriated at Keenan.

"This is the way he repays us for allowing him to send his prospects to our farm team? Absolutely despicable!"

Keenan laughed off Bosela's remarks.

"Jason is a very accomplished player already, scoring over 30 goals in the AHL and he already scored 7 times in the first two months of the NHL season. We feel he is a great prospect and look forward to having him contribute to the Panthers success in the future."

Keenan would add that "if Bosela thought so highly of him, he shouldn't have waived him. Or at the very least, he should have tested the trade market before allowing a player of Jason's skill to be placed on waivers."

"I'm very appreciative of Buffalo for allowing us to share Rochester this year but Matthew has to understand this is a business. Pominville was up for grabs and we would have been ill-advised to just let him go."

[Narkissos]

Mike Keenan is a boozhead!

Love this story, Matt. :)

Buffalo News
December 9 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Philadelphia defenseman Joni Pitkanen scored once and added two assists in an emphatic 4-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres last night in front of a sold out crowd at HSBC Arena.

Simon Gagne, Kim Johnsson and Keith Primeau also scored for the Flyers, with Gagne (1g 1a) and Mike Knuble (2a) joining Pitkanen with multipoint games.

Derek Roy, with his first of the season, scored the lone goal for Buffalo.
"That was pretty much the most disappointing effort of the season from our squad", coach Lindy Ruff said after the game. "We weren't skating or hitting and our defensive zone coverage was lazy."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/SimonGagne2.jpg</div>

"Philadelphia is obviously one of the better teams in the league and we have to be a lot better than we have been the last couple games to compete against a team like that."

Buffalo's penalty killing unit, which had been steadily improving, has once again fallen back after the two games against Philadelphia, giving up 4 goals in only 7 opportunities.

Robert Esche was rarely tested in the game and stopped 20 Buffalo shots. The Sabres Ryan Miller saw a lot more action and took the loss, making 29 saves overall.

Teppo Numminen and Sean McMorrow were scratched for Buffalo on the night.

The Sabres have a couple days off before facing the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim on Sunday night down at HSBC Arena. Game time is 7pm.

Buffalo News
December 12 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
Jean-Sebastien Giguere was almost unbeatable for fifty-nine minutes.

However, hockey is a sixty minute game, and the Sabres made him pay.

Buffalo won 4-3 in dramatic fashion over the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim last night at HSBC Arena. Down 3-2 late in the game, with goaltender Ryan Miller on the bench in favor of an extra attacker, forward Ales Kotalik was somehow sprung on a breakaway by Tim Connolly and beat Giguere with a wrist shot to tie the game with only 40 seconds left on the clock. Then, seconds later on the same shift, Maxim Afinogenov sprinted down the right wing and found Connolly all alone in front of the net. With only 13 seconds left in regulation, he made no mistake in putting it past Giguere for the thrilling comeback victory.

"This was a huge win for us", Connolly pointed out after the game. "We've been a bit sluggish lately but I thought the last two periods tonight were among the best periods we've played all year. We were getting tons of shots through and it just took a little longer than we hoped to get some goals. But a win is a win."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/TeemuSelanne2.jpg</div>

Afinogenov and Dmitri Kalinin also scored for the Sabres, who received multipoint games from Connolly (1g 2a), Kotalik (1g 2a) and Afinogenov (1g 1a). Coach Lindy Ruff switched up the lines during the game, putting those three players together in a move that inarguably changed the outcome of the game in Buffalo's favor.

Newcomer Antti Laaksonen, Sergei Fedorov and Teemu Selanne scored for Anaheim. Selanne had three points for the Ducks in the contest.

Ryan Miller earned the victory and was tested often, saving 30 of 33 shots. The Sabres started out slow, only putting 7 shots on Giguere in the first period. However, they peppered the Ducks goal in the second to the tune of 21 shots and fired another 19 at him in the third period. Giguere was brilliant in defeat.

"He (Giguere) deserved a better fate", Ruff would say after the game "but I'm pretty excited about the victory!"

Henrik Tallinder and Sean McMorrow were scratched for Buffalo, as Teppo Numminen returned to the lineup for the first time in a number of games. The Sabres next face the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night at Savvis Center. Game time is 7:30pm.

Buffalo News
December 14 2005 (St. Louis, MO) -
Doug Weight scored on the first shot of the game 17 seconds in and it was downhill from there for Buffalo in a disheartening 6-4 loss to St. Louis at Savvis Center last night.

Weight and Pavel Brendl scored twice for the Blues, with Trent Whitfield and Mark Rycroft scoring singles. Weight (2g 1a), Keith Tkachuk (3a), Brendl (2g) and Eric Brewer (2a) notched multipoint games.

Thomas Vanek, Maxim Afinogenov, Jochen Hecht and Chris Drury scored for the Sabres. All of Buffalo's goals came on special teams, as their five-on-five play continued to struggle.

"Well, when you're not getting good goaltending, the five-on-five stats will look bad", Lindy Ruff bluntly said after the game. "Miller let in a bad angle goal right off the bat and that has a deflating effect on the entire team. He ended up letting in another softy a couple minutes later but then settled down for the rest of the period."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/ChrisDrury2.jpg</div>

"When he came out and let in another soft goal in the second, I had to pull him. Frankly, I expect a lot more out of him right now. He may be technically a rookie but he's been around for long enough. We need better results from our goaltending if we're to play the up-tempo style we've become accustomed to."

Miller was shockingly bad, allowing four goals on only sixteen shots. Marty Biron would allow two goals on 12 shots. Patrick Lalime wasn't much better but still picked up the win, his eighth of the year.

The last place Blues, who recently fired beleaguered coach Mike Kitchen, were ecstatic with the win.

"This hopefully is something we can build on", general manager and interim head coach Larry Pleau indicated. "We need guys like Weight and Tkachuk to step up and tonight they did in a big way."

Sean McMorrow and Henrik Tallinder were the scratches for Buffalo on this night. Buffalo will have to regroup for a big divisional game against rival Toronto back at HSBC Arena on Thursday. Game time is 7:00pm.

Buffalo News
December 16 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
The Sabres scored four goals in the last five and a half minutes of the game to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs 7-4 in an entertaining, back-and-forth tilt that was much more competitive than the scoreline indicates.

J.P. Dumont (pictured) had a huge night, compiling a personal best five points (2g 3a) in the game. Linemates Daniel Briere (2g 2a) and Thomas Vanek (2g 1a) also had huge games and were on the ice for all seven Buffalo goals. Defenseman Dmitri Kalinin scored the other Sabres marker and contributed a pair of assists as well.

The Sabres big outburst at the end of the game took the spotlight away from Toronto's dazzling rookie pickup, Petr Sykora. This isn't the Sykora you think it is.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/PetrSykora.jpg</div>

This Sykora was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings and was a member of the Washington organization until getting traded to Toronto last week for promising forward Matt Stajan. Sykora, who had an impressive 20 points in 27 games with the Capitals, scored his first NHL hattrick last night against the Sabres and was a force the entire night on a line with Nik Antropov and Alex Ponikarovsky. Eric Lindros scored the other Maple Leafs goal. Bryan McCabe and Tomas Kaberle both picked up two assists for Toronto in the contest.

The Sabres completely dominated the first period, beating the Leafs to every puck and hitting everything in sight. They would outshoot Toronto 19-7 in the opening frame but goaltender Ed Belfour was terrific in turning aside 18 of those shots. The score was 1-1 at the intermission.

Toronto started taking the play to the Sabres in the second period on the strength of Sykora's play and held a 4-3 lead late in the third period before Buffalo began its spirited comeback. The Sabres sixth goal was into an empty net and their seventh on a last minute powerplay when the game was already decided.

"I'm really proud of the way the guys played tonight", Lindy Ruff said after the game. "We gave up the first goal again but I thought the opening 20 minutes was one of the best periods of the year for us."

"Thankfully, the Briere line came up big on the scoresheet for us."

Martin Biron was not sharp, as the Sabres goaltending woes continue. He let in four goals on 30 shots while Toronto's Ed Belfour ended up with 35 saves on the night.

The Sabres scratched defenseman Jeff Jillson and forward Taylor Pyatt for the contest. Sean McMorrow played his first game of the season for Buffalo and was involved in a brawl halfway through the third period that resulted in six ejections from the game. McMorrow, Adam Mair, Derek Roy, Donald Audette, Matt Johnson and Tie Domi all picked up fighting majors and game misconducts in the bruhaha.

Buffalo will return to action on Sunday night, as the San Jose Sharks come to town. Game time is 7:00pm at HSBC Arena.

Buffalo News
December 19 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
The Buffalo Sabres finally got the goaltending performance they've been looking for.

Ryan Miller allowed a late goal but was otherwise brilliant in a fine 4-1 Sabres win over San Jose last night down at HSBC Arena. Buffalo received goals from Mike Grier, Chris Drury, Derek Roy and Daniel Briere. Drury (1g 1a) and Jochen Hecht (2a) had multipoint games. Sean McMorrow picked up his first NHL point in the contest as well, an assist on Roy's goal.

Marco Sturm scored the only goal for San Jose, capitalizing on a powerplay with less than two minutes remaining to ruin Miller's shutout hopes.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/ChrisDrury2.jpg</div>

"A shutout would have been nice but I was really just looking to get back on track", Miller said. "My game has been pretty inconsistent so far this year and it's something I'm working on. You have to be on every night to last in this league."

Ruff was pleased.

"It was one of his better outings, that's for sure", he would say. "It's a positive step for him. Now he has to show he can do it again."

Buffalo scratched Teppo Numminen and Taylor Pyatt for the contest.

The Sabres head into a key home-and-home series with the Northeast Division leading Ottawa Senators before their Christmas break. Game one is in Kanata on Wednesday night. The teams will meet up again on Thursday back in Buffalo.

Buffalo News
December 22 2005 (Kanata, ON) -
Zdeno Chara and Jason Spezza each scored once and added two assists in an emphatic 6-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres at the Corel Centre in Ottawa, a scoreline that flattered the visitors.

Ottawa stormed out to a 5-0 lead in the game, chasing starting goaltender Martin Biron after the fourth goal. Peter Schaeffer, Daniel Alfredsson, Denis Hamel and Mike Fisher also scored for the Senators. Alfredsson (1g 1a) and Martin Havlat (2a) joined Chara and Spezza with multipoint games.

Rookie Thomas Vanek scored twice for Buffalo, with Tim Connolly scoring the other Sabres goal.

Even without star forward Dany Heatley, the swift skating Sens proved to be too much for the Sabres on this night.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/ThomasVanek2.jpg</div>

"Our goaltending was subpar and our defensive play was non-existent", Lindy Ruff said after the game. "Ottawa is too dangerous. You can't keep giving them opportunities in front of the net."

"They're just clinical finishers."

Teppo Numminen and Taylor Pyatt were the Buffalo scratches on the evening.

The teams both flew back to Buffalo after the game and will face each other once again, this time at HSBC Arena in Buffalo, later this evening.

Buffalo News
December 23 2005 (Buffalo, NY) -
It looked as if things would be different in Buffalo last night. The Sabres jumped out to a quick two goal lead and were dominating play.

It turns out that the powerful Ottawa Senators were just teasing their opponents.

Martin Havlat scored twice and Antoine Vermette's goal midway through the third period proved to be the difference in a 5-4 Ottawa win over Buffalo in front of a sold out crowd.

The Sabres jumped out to a quick lead on goals by Daniel Briere and Maxim Afinogenov but came undone as Ottawa stormed to four unanswered goals. Buffalo would come within one twice but could never gain the equalizer.

Zdeno Chara (1g 1a) and Peter Schaefer also scored for Ottawa. Dominik Hasek won his second game in as many nights for the Sens.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/MaximAfinogenov2.jpg</div>

Afinogenov and Briere both scored twice for the Sabres. Ales Kotalik had two assists to join them with multipoint games while Ryan Miller took the loss in goal.

"We really came out and played hard tonight", an exhausted Lindy Ruff would say after the game. "We outshot them by a wide margin but just couldn't take advantage."

"What can you say. Ottawa has a great club. I really think we can keep up with them but they were the better team over the past couple of nights."

Jeff Jillson and Sean McMorrow were the scratches on the night for Buffalo, who will have a couple days off for Christmas and then head out on a season-long five game road trip.

Other Sabres Notes:
Two Sabres prospects were named Player of the Week in their respective leagues. In the QMJHL, defenseman Marc-Andre Gragnani was named top defensive player after recording a goal and two assists for the PEI Rocket last week while in the OHL, defenseman Andrej Sekera won his POW honor for garnering four assists in three games for Owen Sound.

Buffalo News
December 27 2005 (Atlanta, GA) -
Maybe Ryan Miller had a bit too much Christmas turkey the other day.

That could explain his sluggish performance yesterday in a 6-3 loss to the Atlanta Thrashers at Philips Arena. Marian Hossa scored two goals for the Thrashers, with Ilya Kovalchuk, Jim Slater, Ramzi Abid and J.P. Vigier scoring singles. Hossa (2g), Kovalchuk (1g 1a), Slater (1g 1a) and Vigier (1g 1a) all had multipoint games.

Tim Connolly, Daniel Briere and Maxim Afinogenov (1g 1a) scored for Buffalo, who have now lost a season-high three straight games and have given up 17 goals in those games.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/IlyaKovalchuk2.jpg</div>

"Ryan was not good in net tonight, to be quite frank", Lindy Ruff flatly stated after the game. "We need our goaltenders to come up with some saves when the going gets tough and that's just not happening right now."

"We will have to go back to basics and start playing more defensively sound. Tactically, we just aren't a strong team right now and it's up to me to figure things out."

Martin Biron was called upon after Miller let in his fourth goal and allowed two of his own.

Buffalo scratched Jeff Jillson and Sean McMorrow for the contest.

The Sabres utilized different line combinations for the game, moving Derek Roy to the third line center position between Jochen Hecht and Ales Kotalik, while moving Connolly to the left wing alongside Chris Drury and Afinogenov.

"I'm still not happy with the lines outside of the Briere/Dumont/Vanek combination", Ruff indicated. "We may have to make some roster changes sometime soon."

Buffalo News
December 27 2005 (Vancouver, BC) -
The 2006 World Junior Championships start tonight in Vancouver, British Columbia and the Sabres will be represented by four individuals, three of whom play for Slovakia.

2005 top pick Marek Zagrapan leads the way for Sabres prospects and will play a starring role for the Slovaks in this event. Zagrapan has 21 goals and 23 assists for Chicoutimi of the QMJHL through 28 games.

"Marek is improving his game on a nightly basis", Buffalo general manager Matt Bosela says. "He's tearing up the league offensively and his overall game is rounding into shape. We couldn't be more pleased."

Bosela has five of his scouts in Canada to watch this big event that includes all of the top under-20 players in the world.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/MarekZagrapan.jpg</div>

"We're here to watch our own guys, obviously, but there are a number of draft-eligible players here as well."

The United States team has two top players that are eligible for the 2006 draft. Both Phil Kessel and Peter Mueller are expected to be top-five picks in the upcoming draft and will likely dazzle in Vancouver.

"They're both very exciting individuals and we'll certainly be keeping a close watch on them."

Sabres prospects Michal Valent, a goaltender, and defenseman Andrej Sekera will also be among the players on the Slovakian team. Valent has seen limited playing time with Czech National League club Beroun, going 1-2 with a 3.67 goals against average. Sekera, coming off player of the week honors in the OHL, has 6 goals and 15 assists in 31 games with the Owen Sound Attack.

Defenseman Michael Card will be representing Canada in the championships. Card, who plays for the WHL's Kelowna Rockets, is having a big season with 4 goals and 30 assists in 36 games. He also owns a +23 rating on the year.

The tournament gets underway later this evening, as defending champion Canada faces off against Sweden.

Buffalo News
December 28 2005 (Washington, DC) -
The Buffalo Sabres have recalled center Paul Gaustad from the Rochester Americans. Gaustad will be in the lineup tonight in the game against the Capitals.

Gaustad was a late cut in training camp and after a slow start in Rochester, has recently been putting points on the board. He has 7 goals and 8 assists in 34 games with the Amerks thus far and carries a +5 rating.

"Paul brings some much needed size and grit to the team and we're hoping he can contribute the energy and timely scoring that's been his calling card with Rochester", general manager Matt Bosela said.

Gaustad has played one game in the NHL, that coming during the 2002/03 season with the Sabres.

Buffalo News
December 29 2005 (Washington, DC) -
Dynamic rookie Alexander Ovechkin scored two goals last night to lead the Washington Capitals to a 4-3 decision over the struggling Buffalo Sabres at MCI Center.

The Sabres have now lost a season-high four straight games.

Ben Clymer and recent addition Matt Stajan also replied for the Capitals. Ovechkin (2g), Maxim Kondratiev (2a) and Alexander Semin (2a) had multipoint games for Washington while goaltender Olaf Kolzig picked up his 15th victory on the year. Kolzig was very strong, turning aside 35 Buffalo shots.

The Sabres received goals from Chris Drury, Mike Grier and Daniel Briere. Drury (1g 1a) and Henrik Tallinder (2a) had multipoint games. Martin Biron took the loss for Buffalo despite making 35 saves of his own.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/ChrisDrury2.jpg</div>

"We're just not doing a good enough job defensively", Lindy Ruff plainly stated after the game. "We've played a pretty aggressive forechecking style this entire year and maybe it's starting to take its toll on the players."

"We seem tired out there and when you're tired, you get lazy. We're giving up way too many shots lately and maybe we'll have to revert to a more defensive style in the next few games to get back on track."

Ruff would go on to add "the players love playing the up-tempo style because it delivers a lot of offensive chances. However, the key is to outscore the opposition and that hasn't happened, obviously, in four games."

Paul Gaustad made his season-debut with the Sabres and looked fine in his ten minutes of icetime. Buffalo scratched the struggling Derek Roy, Sean McMorrow and Teppo Numminen.

The team immediately flew to Raleigh, North Carolina for their game tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes. Ryan Miller is expected to get the start in goal for the Sabres. The puck drops at 7:30pm.

Sabres Notes -
Defenseman Brian Campbell played in his 200th career NHL contest; Taylor Pyatt is scoreless in his last ten games while defenseman Jeff Jillson and forward Adam Mair haven't notched a point in eleven games; prospects Andrej Sekera and Marek Zagrapan played in Slovakia's 4-1 win over Latvia last night; Sekera had an assist and was a +2 while Zagrapan was pointless but went +1; goaltender Michal Valent did not play for Slovakia; defenseman Mike Card has played both games for 2-0 Canada, going without a point in the two games and holding an even plus/minus record.

Buffalo News
December 30 2005 (Raleigh, NC) -
Buffalo's special teams were a major contributor last night, as the powerplay converted four times and the penalty killing unit killed off six of seven Hurricanes chances in a 7-3 win last night over Carolina at RBC Center in Raleigh.

J.P. Dumont and Thomas Vanek each scored two goals while Maxim Afinogenov, Adam Mair and Tim Connolly notched singles. Dumont (2g 2a), Connolly (1g 3a), Vanek (2g 1a) and Dmitri Kalinin (2a) all had multipoint games.

Erik Cole scored all three Carolina goals, with Rod Brind'Amour and Radim Vrbata contributing assists on all three as well, giving the line nine points on the night.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/JPDumont2.jpg</div>

After a shaky start in which he allowed two goals on the first three shots, Ryan Miller settled down and was excellent when called upon for his 11th win of the year. Zac Bierk wasn't as fortunate, losing for the sixth time in six starts and getting pulled after two periods. Martin Gerber was solid in the third period for Carolina, stopping 13 of 14 Buffalo shots.

"Well that was a lot better", Lindy Ruff offered after the game. "I can't say enough about Connolly's performance tonight. He was all over the ice, hustling, making hits, getting shots off and making great passes."

"It's by far the best game I've ever seen him play."

Connolly deflected praise to his linemates and his coach.

"Coach reunited me with Jochen and Max and those guys are just so talented", Connolly would say. "I knew I had something to prove out there after a few bad games. I felt really light out there and my legs felt great."

"It's just great to finally get the win."

Miller was also happy to end the losing streak.

"We've really been struggling with our forecheck and I thought the last two periods were the among the best periods we've played all season. The guys made life easy on me, that's for sure."

Mair's goal snapped an eleven game pointless streak while linemate Taylor Pyatt's assist ended his own ten game drought.

Ruff scratched Sean McMorrow and Jeff Jillson. Earlier in the day, the Sabres demoted struggling forward Derek Roy back to Rochester.

"Derek hasn't played well here in Buffalo this year", Ruff would candidly remark. "We gave him some additional responsibilities over the last few games, moving him up to a scoring line and even giving him some powerplay time and he didn't respond favorably."

"He's a very valuable player to the organization but just needs to regain his confidence on the farm. I have no doubt that he'll be back with us soon."

The Sabres are back in action tomorrow night in Sunrise, Florida to take on the Panthers. Game time is 7:30pm.

Sabres Notes:
Taylor Pyatt played in his 300th career NHL game last night.

Buffalo News
January 1 2006 (Sunrise, FL) -
Talk about bringing in the new year in style!

The Florida Panthers fired everything but the kitchen sink at Buffalo goaltender Ryan Miller but the rookie was up to the task, turning aside 48 of 50 shots in a nailbiting 3-2 win for the Sabres last night at BankAtlantic Center.

After a relatively even first period, the Panthers controlled play for the remainder of the game, outshooting the Sabres by a 36-16 margin.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/PaulGaustad2.png</div>

Miller saved each one of those 36 shots.

J.P. Dumont, Taylor Pyatt and Paul Gaustad, with his first NHL goal, scored for Buffalo. Joe Nieuwendyk and Rostislav Olesz were the Florida goalscorers.

Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff had nothing but praise for Miller.

"He was the only reason we won this game", he said. "The goaltending display he put on in the final two periods was absolutely incredible."

"I can't say enough great things about the way he performed."

A concern for Ruff has to be his team's lack of intensity in the game that led to getting outshot by such a wide margin.

"We instructed the team to lay back a bit more this game because of our recent struggles and to be honest, that lack of pressure almost cost us the game. The Gaustad, Mair and Grier line was the only threesome that had jump out there tonight and we need the other guys to play with that same energy. We'll have to keep working on our tactics because we can't expect our goaltenders to continuously bail us out."

Jeff Jillson and Sean McMorrow were the scratches for Buffalo. The Sabres are off until Tuesday night, when they face the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre.

Buffalo News
January 4 2006 (Montreal, PQ) -
Montreal captain Saku Koivu scored with only 24 seconds left in regulation, giving the Canadiens a 4-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres last night in front of over 21,000 fans last night at the Bell Centre.

Craig Rivet, Radek Bonk and Richard Zednik also scored for Montreal. Bonk and Zednik added assists to garner multipoint games. J.P. Dumont, Tim Connolly and Taylor Pyatt scored for the Sabres, with Connolly (1g 1a) and Dmitri Kalinin (2a) notching two points each.

Mike Grier failed on a penalty shot attempt in the first period after he was taken down on a breakaway while shorthanded.

Coach Lindy Ruff took the defeat in stride.

"I'm extremely disappointed in the loss but I can't fault the guys' effort out there", a despondent Lindy Ruff said after the game. "We came out pressing from the get-go and I thought we displayed a lot of jump the entire game. Even Marty (Biron) bounced back from the shaky start to make a lot of key saves for us."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/TimConnolly2.jpg</div>

Unfortunately, Biron wasn't up to the task on the last goal, a relatively weak one off the stick of Koivu.

"The team needs me to make that save but it somehow got through me", the disappointed Biron indicated. "I hate losing in Montreal."

The loss ends Buffalo's modest 2-game winning streak and their five-game road trip ended with a sub-.500 2-3 record.

Jeff Jillson and Sean McMorrow were the scratches for Buffalo on the night.

The Sabres return home for the start of a home-and-home series with division rival Boston on Thursday night. Game time is 7:00pm.

Sabres Notes -
After struggling most of the season in a fourth line role, winger Taylor Pyatt has scored in two consecutive games and has points in three straight since joining Chris Drury and Ales Kotalik's line. "Coach is giving me a chance to play a more important role and I've been lucky to capitalize", Pyatt would say.

Buffalo News
January 5 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
The Buffalo Sabres have been fortunate to have very few injuries so far this year. However, steady defenseman Toni Lydman suffered a hip flexor strain in practice yesterday and will be out for about two weeks.

"We're just being careful with Toni", general manager Matt Bosela said. "We're only at the midpoint of the season so there's no reason to have him play through the injury. He feels pretty good but we'll just slot in Jeff (Jillson) for a few games while he heals up."

Lydman has one goal and eleven assists in 40 games for the Sabres this year and has a team-leading +15 rating.

Bosela indicated that he has no plans to bring up a player from Rochester to fill Lydman's spot on the roster.

Buffalo News
January 6 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
Boston Bruins defenseman Brian Leetch scored twice and added two assists in a 4-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres at HSBC Arena last night.

The back-and-forth game was settled when Glen Murray scored Boston's third powerplay goal of the night midway through the third period Sergei Samsonov also scored for the Bruins. Joe Thornton had two assists for Boston.

Maxim Afinogenov, with his team-leading 22nd, Ales Kotalik and Chris Drury scored for Buffalo. Drury also added two assists for a three point night. Afinogenov (1g 1a) and Jochen Hecht (2a) had multipoint games for the Sabres.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/ChrisDrury2.jpg</div>

"Our penalty killing has been much better recently but Boston was able to capitalize tonight", Lindy Ruff said. "I thought Ryan (Miller) was excellent in net again tonight but we're giving up entirely too many chances right now", pointing to Boston's 35-26 shot advantage.

"You're not going to win many games at home when you're dominated like that on the shot clock."

Adam Mair's undisciplined double minor penalty decided the game. He was flagged for hooking and his complaints to referee Rob Shick drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty as well.

"Adam has to know when to draw the line when barking at the officials", an upset Ruff said. "I understand he's caught up in the moment but you have to keep your emotions in check during a close game."

The Sabres were without injured defenseman Toni Lydman for the contest and Sean McMorrow was a healthy scratch.

The teams are right back at it on Saturday night back in Boston. The puck drops at 7:00pm.

Buffalo News
January 8 2006 (Boston, MA) -
Defenseman Brian Campbell scored with less than two minutes remaining in regulation time to lead the Buffalo Sabres to a hard-fought 3-2 win at TD Banknorth Garden in Boston last night.

Campbell took a drop pass from Paul Gaustad and wristed a shot through the legs of Bruins defenseman Jiri Slegr and past the screened Andrew Raycroft. Teppo Numminen scored his first goal in a Buffalo uniform, a shorthanded marker, in the win. Tim Connolly notched the other Sabres goal.

Brad Isbister and Alexei Zhamnov scored for Boston.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/RyanMiller2.jpg</div>

Coach Lindy Ruff was happy with the overall effort in the game.

"Our goaltending was excellent, our defensemen were pinching in on the rush and our forwards were responsible in the defensive zone while also getting a lot of traffic in front of the opposing net. Plus, we were able to keep the (Joe) Thornton line off the scoreboard."

"Yeah, I'm definitely pleased with our spunk tonight."

Ryan Miller made 31 saves in the win, his 13th of the season. Forward Sean McMorrow was the only healthy scratch on the night for Buffalo.

Buffalo has no time to rest on the victory, playing back at HSBC Arena tonight against the Nashville Predators. Game time is 7:00pm.

Buffalo News
January 9 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
Nashville winger Scott Walker scored twice and added an assist Tomas Vokoun notched his second shutout of the season as the Predators blanked a tired Buffalo squad 4-0 last night.

Ryan Suter and Paul Kariya also scored for Nashville. Kariya added an assist to join Walker with a multipoint game.

The Sabres had played a tough divisional game the night previous against Boston but coach Lindy Ruff wasn't about to use that as an excuse.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/TomasVokoun.png</div>

"These guys are paid to perform out there and they did a pretty lousy job tonight", Ruff flatly said after the game. "We're in the middle of a rough stretch right now and we have to find a way to get out of this funk."

Ruff went on to say that no one is safe right now from a benching and that "we're likely going to be making some big changes with our lines and tactics if we continue to struggle."

Captain Daniel Briere said the responsibility to improve lies with the players, not the coaching staff.

"We're not getting the job done...I'm not getting the job done. I've got to lead by example and my line is really having trouble producing right now."

"Tomorrow is another day though and we'll be ready to bounce back against Tampa on Wednesday."

Sean McMorrow was the only healthy scratch on the night. Defenseman Toni Lydman continues to be sidelined with his hip flexor strain.

Buffalo travels to Tampa to take on the defending Stanley Cup champion Lightning on Wednesday night. The Sabres will then have to fly back to Buffalo right away in order to take on the Toronto Maple Leafs at home the next night.

Buffalo News
January 10 2006 (Vancouver, BC) -
Ottawa Senators prospect Brian Lee capped a wonderful World Junior Championships by scoring once and adding two assists in a 3-2 United States victory over Canada last night in Vancouver.

London Knights forward and Edmonton Oilers prospect Robbie Schremp (pictured) was named tournament MVP for his 2 goal, 12 assist performance in the Championships.

Two of the more talked about prospects for the upcoming 2006 NHL Entry Draft had very different championships.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/RobSchremp.png</div>

Peter Mueller of Spokane in the WHL was spectacular playing on a line with Schremp and Knights teammate David Bolland, notching a tournament-leading 8 goals and 4 assists.

However, it was a championship to forget for highly touted forward Phil Kessel, who only contributed two lonely assists in the seven US games while going -1.

Buffalo had four prospects take part in the championship, three of whom played for Slovakia.

The Sabres #1 pick in 2005, Marek Zagrapan, had no goals and two assists in five games, going +1. Defenseman Andrej Sekera had an excellent tournament, scoring twice, adding an assist and going +3. Goaltender Michal Valent only played one game but was spectacular in a losing effort, saving 21 of 23 shots in a 2-1 defeat to Finland.

Defenseman Michael Card picked up a silver medal for Canada in the tournament. He played six games, scored a goal and was a +1.

Buffalo News
January 10 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
Jeff Jillson and Jochen Hecht both were injured in practice yesterday, although neither is serious enough to warrant extended time on the injured reserve list.

Jillson took the biggest blow, suffering a broken jaw in a collision in front of the net in drills. Hecht just suffered a nasty cut to the forehead in an unrelated incident.

"Jeff will likely miss a few games with the broken jaw but we don't anticipate Jochen missing any time", coach Lindy Ruff said after the high-tempo practice. "We certainly need both guys back quickly, especially with all of the games we have coming up."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/DerekRoy2.png</div>

Ruff was working on some new tactics and line combinations in practice but says "nothing is set in stone...we're just working on some stuff right now."

General Manager Matt Bosela indicated that Nathan Paetsch would likely be called up from Rochester to play in Jillson's place for the Tampa Bay game. It would be Paetsch's first official NHL game if he suits up.

Paetsch has 3 goals and 7 assists in 41 games for Rochester this season and sports a +1 rating. He also has 90 penalty minutes for the Americans.

This is a great dynasty. I've enjoyed it a ton and everytime I read it, I fire up EHM soon afterwords.

Buffalo News
January 12 2006 (Tampa, FL) -
Unbelievably, things are getting worse for the Buffalo Sabres.

Leading 3-1 after a period, the Sabres watched as their opponents scored seven unanswered goals over the next 40 minutes in an eventual 8-3 loss. Fredrik Modin had a career game, scoring three goals and adding four assists for seven points. Linemate Martin St. Louis had a hat trick of his own and two assists while center Vincent Lecavalier had a goal and three assists. Ruslan Fedotenko also scored for Tampa.

Both of the hat tricks were 'natural', likely the first time in history two players have scored natural tricks in the same game.

Dmitri Kalinin, Thomas Vanek and Maxim Afinogenov scored for the Sabres. Ryan Miller was chased after allowing the fifth Tampa goal but was left on his own most of the game. Martin Biron came in and allowed the last three goals.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/MartinStLouis2.jpg</div>

Lindy Ruff was furious with Tampa coach John Tortorella for "rubbing it in" during the game.

"Absolute bush league tactics by John tonight", Lindy spewed. "They're leading by five late in the game and he's still double shifting the Lecavalier line. (expletive) ridiculous..."

Lecavalier, St. Louis and Modin all played over 25 minutes in the contest, almost half the game.

"A bit of sour grapes on Lindy's part", Tortorella would say after he heard Ruff's comments. "How soon he forgets about the game earlier this year where they beat us 7-3. I didn't see him putting Mair or Pyatt on the powerplay in that game!"

The Sabres continue thier freefall and got even worse news when leading goal scorer Afinogenov broke a finger in the second period. He'll likely miss at least two weeks.

After the game, general manager Matthew Bosela announced that Derek Roy and Doug Janik were being recalled from Rochester. Sean McMorrow was waived for the purpose of sending him down to Rochester.

The Sabres play again tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs here at HSBC Arena. Game time is 7:00pm.

Buffalo News
January 13 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
Derek Roy, who was just recalled from Rochester, scored once and had an assist to push the Sabres over the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2 last night at HSBC Arena.

Ales Kotalik (pictured bottom right) contributed two goals of his own while Brian Campbell and Mike Grier scored singles. Kotalik (2g), Roy (1g 1a), Chris Drury (2a) and Jochen Hecht (2a) all had multipoint games in the breakout game for Buffalo.

Jeff O'Neill and Donald Audette, on a penalty shot, scored for the Maple Leafs, who are now 0-3 versus their rival in the Northeast Division this season.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/AlesKotalik2.jpg</div>

Martin Biron was excellent in the Buffalo net in his 14th win of the season while Ed Belfour once again struggled against the Sabres, allowing 5 goals on 33 shots.

Lindy Ruff was very pleased with how the new lines played together and raved about Roy's performance.

"We're really deep at center on this team and Derek hasn't been able to garner much ice time when he's played this year", Ruff would say. "With the injury to Max (Afinogenov), we decided to move guys around a bit to get Derek more ice time and some powerplay time."

"It sure looks like it worked...he was awesome out there."

"It's the first time I've been given powerplay time and that's pretty big", Roy would explain after the game. "I understand my play hasn't been consistent this year so I just have to keep going out there and playing hard whenever I'm on the ice."

Ruff retooled the lines quite a bit, breaking up the Briere-Vanek-Dumont line for the first time all year. He had Briere at left wing with Connolly and Dumont, Drury centering Hecht and Kotalik, Roy centering Vanek and Pyatt and finally Gaustad in the middle of Mair and Grier.

Teppo Numminen was a healthy scratch for Buffalo. Ruff says Numminen hasn't been at his best over recent games and decided to play rookies Nathan Paetsch and Doug Janik over the veteran. Jeff Jillson (jaw), Afinogenov (finger) and Toni Lydman (hip flexor) are all still injured.

Buffalo will host super-rookie Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals on Sunday night at HSBC Arena.

Buffalo News
January 13 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
General Manager Matt Bosela announced this morning that center Chris Taylor has been traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a fifth round pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

"Chris is a true professional and we felt it only fair to give him a chance with another NHL club", Bosela said. "Our young kids are really playing well which has made it tough for us to find a spot for him."

Taylor couldn't even find a spot in Rochester this year, spending the first half of the season loaned out to the Manitoba Moose of the AHL. He's been playing first or second line most of the year but has struggled immensely, notching only 14 points (5g 9a) in 40 games and sports a very poor -16 rating.

Taylor had 1 assist in 2 games with the Amerks this year.

Taylor played 90 games for the Sabres over the years, compiling 9 goals and 12 assists. He was a mainstay in Rochester over the years, leading the Amerks in scoring three times.

Buffalo News
January 16 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
Five different Sabres hit the goal sheet on Sunday evening in a high-flying 5-3 victory over the Washington Capitals, Buffalo's second straight win.

Dmitri Kalinin, Paul Gaustad (pictured below right), Brian Campbell, Jochen Hecht and Tim Connolly (above left) all scored for the Sabres. Connolly (1g 1a) and Daniel Briere (2a) both had multipoint games for Buffalo.

Connolly's 15th goal of the season sets a personal career high while Briere's assists were his first points in six games for the Sabres.

Steven Eminger (first career NHL goal), Eric Fehr and Alexander Ovechkin scored for Washington. Eminger (1g 1a) and Andrew Cassels (2a) had multipoint games for the Caps.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/PaulGaustad2.png</div>

Martin Biron won his second straight contest for the Sabres, stopping 22 of 25 shots. Olaf Kolzig was sensational for Washington, as he was peppered with 55 shots, turning away 50 of them.

"If it wasn't for Kolzig, we could have scored ten tonight", an elated Lindy Ruff said in the post-game press conference. "All four lines were pressing all night and I thought this was one of our more dominant performances of the season, even if the scoreboard didn't show it."

Jeff Jillson and Teppo Numminen were healthy scratches for Buffalo. Jillson was cleared to play, as he's been practicing with a full face shield after suffering a broken jaw in practice last week. However, Ruff decided to stick with his two rookie blueliners in Doug Janik and Nathan Paetsch.

Both continue to play solid, if unspectacular hockey.

Maxim Afinogenov and Toni Lydman remain on the Injured Reserve list with their injuries.

Buffalo travels to Nashville to take on the Predators on Tuesday night. Game time is 7:30pm.

Sabres Notes:
Sean McMorrow, as expected, cleared waivers on Sunday morning and is back with Rochester. Prospect Marek Zagrapan was injured in QMJHL action, suffering a groin strain in a game Saturday night. Zagrapan has 47 points (23g 24a) in only 29 games this year and has battled injury all season.

Buffalo News
January 18 2005 (Nashville, TN) -
Paul Kariya scored once and added three assists in a 5-2 Nashville win over the Buffalo Sabres last night at Gaylord Entertainment Center.

Marek Zidlicky scored two goals, one into an empty net, while Scott Walker and David Legwand scored singles. Kariya (1g 3a), Legwand (1g 2a), Danny Markov (3a) and Zidlicky (2g) had multipoint games.

Zidlicky (below right) now has 17 goals on the season and leads all NHL defensemen in that category.

Thomas Vanek and Taylor Pyatt scored for Buffalo.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/MarekZidlicky2.png</div>

Tomas Vokoun continues to confound the Sabres, turning aside 34 of 36 Buffalo shots. Martin Biron struggled once again, allowing four goals on 29 shots with the empty netter.

Coach Lindy Ruff was pretty pleased with the Sabres efforts but said the penalty killing unit is becoming an issue.

"I thought we played an excellent game in 5-on-5 situations but when you allow three powerplay goals, it's tough to win in this league", he said.

"We've struggled all year in this department and we may have to change our tactics because we're just not getting the job done. We may have to change our personnel as well."

Teppo Numminen and Jeff Jillson were once again healthy scratches for the Sabres.

Buffalo goes home and will face the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night at HSBC Arena. Game time is 7:30pm.

Buffalo News
January 18 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
Sabres rookie Thomas Vanek suffered a shoulder contusion in practice yesterday and is doubtful for the game against Pittsburgh tonight.

"It's nothing major, these things happen", Vanek said after coming out of the trainer's room. "I feel I can play but it's the coach's decision."

"I don't envision taking a chance with Thomas", Lindy Ruff said. "We have quite a few injuries right now but we still have some kids in the system that can take his spot for a game. We'll miss him, that's for sure but he should be back in a game or two."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/MichaelRyan.jpg</div>

Vanek is having a wonderful rookie campaign, with 23 goals and 24 assists in 48 games. He also carries a +6 rating.

General manager Matt Bosela made a few roster moves, recalling forward Michael Ryan (pictured at right) from Rochester while sending Doug Janik and Nathan Paetsch back to the Amerks.

Ryan had 26 points (9g 17a) in 44 games and was a +8 while playing on the third line most of the year in Rochester. Ryan has yet to play an NHL game in his career.

Janik had one assist and a +1 rating in 8 games with the Sabres this year while Paetsch was pointless and a -2 in his four games in Buffalo.

Buffalo News
January 20 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
Pittsburgh goaltender Jani Hurme could sue for non-support after he singlehandedly kept the Penguins in the game last night against the Buffalo Sabres.

Buffalo peppered him with 38 shots through two periods and still found themselves tied at 2 a few minutes into the third period. But Hurme couldn't hold them off any longer.

Jay McKee's slapshot from the corner boards a minute after the Penguins tied it went through Hurme's five hole and was the first of a six goal barrage in an eventual 8-2 win at HSBC Arena last night. The goal was McKee's first of the season.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/HenrikTallinder2.jpg</div>

Jochen Hecht scored twice, while Dmitri Kalinin, McKee, Paul Gaustad, Mike Griere, Ales Kotalik and Daniel Briere scored singles. Briere (1g 2a), Hecht (2g), Kalinin (1g 1a), McKee (1g 1a), Grier (1g 1a), Gaustad (1g 1a), Henrik Tallinder (2a), Adam Mair (2a) and Brian Campbell (2a) all had multipoint games in the barnburner.

Briere's goal ended a lengthy 10-game stretch without a goal.

Colby Armstrong and Ziggy Palffy scored for the Penguins. Josef Melichar had two assists for Pittsburgh as well. Mario Lemieux and super-rookie Sidney Crosby were both kept off the scoresheet and worse yet, went -2 and -3 respectively.

Lindy Ruff praised the players persistence in the win.

"It would have been easy for the players to stop hustling, with their goalie playing so well", Ruff indicated. "It's a testament to their work ethic that they just wouldn't stop taking shots."

The Sabres ended up with an incredible 63 shots in the game while holding Pittsburgh to only 24. Ryan Miller was solid in net for Buffalo in picking up his 14th win of the year.

There were no healthy scratches for Buffalo last night. Thomas Vanek continues to be troubled with a shoulder contusion and Michael Ryan played his first career NHL game in his place. Somehow Ryan ended up a -2 in the contest.

He was sent back down to Rochester after the game.

The Sabres will next travel to Colorado to face the Avalanche. Game time Sunday night is 8:30 Eastern Time.

Buffalo News
January 21 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
Buffalo Sabres general manager Matt Bosela has recalled forward Dylan Hunter from the Stockton Thunder of the ECHL.

Hunter will suit up for the Sabres tomorrow night against the Colorado Avalanche in his first NHL game.

Hunter has had a tumultuous year, getting cut from the London Knights, a junior team run by his father, then not seeing any playing time with the Rochester Americans after getting signed to a pro contract by the Sabres.

Bosela was able to find Hunter a spot in the ECHL with the Stockton Thunder and after a slow start, Hunter started setting the league on fire.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/MaximAfinogenov2.jpg</div>

He joins Buffalo having amassed 53 points (26g 27a) in only 31 games, along with 105 penalty minutes and a +5 rating. He leads the ECHL in scoring, even though he's played about 10 games less than most of the other players in the league. He's also averaging over 30 minutes a night in ice time.

"Stockton GM Brian MacLellan promised me that he'd give Dylan a good shot at earning playing time and he's certainly delivered in that regard", Bosela says. "It's been a great learning experience for Dylan and it's been a character builder as well."

"He's improved with every game down in the ECHL and now it's time to see what he can do in Buffalo."

Buffalo also got good news when Maxim Afinogenov and Toni Lydman returned to practice. Lydman is likely ready to go for tomorrow's contest against Colorado, having fully recovered from his hip flexor problem.

Afinogenov is likely going to need a bit more time to recover from his broken finger. He's starting to take shots in practice but hasn't resumed full-contact drills as of yet.

Buffalo News
January 23 2006 (Denver, CO) -
Linemates Daniel Briere and J.P. Dumont each scored two goals and added assists in a well-earned 6-4 win over the powerful Colorado Avalanche last night at Pepsi Center in Denver.

Paul Gaustad and Tim Connolly, with the winner, also scored for Buffalo. Jochen Hecht (2a) and Jay McKee (2a) joined Briere and Dumont with multipoint efforts.

Alex Tanguay, Andrew Brunette, Marek Svatos and Milan Hejduk scored for the Avalanche. Hejduk, Svatos and Tanguay each had a goal and an assist in the contest while Rob Blake contributed two assists for Colorado.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/DanielBriere2.jpg</div>

Martin Biron got the call in net and was just good enough to earn the victory, turning aside 22 of 26 Colorado shots. Vitaly Kolesnik, the backup goaltender in Colorado, got the call and was pretty busy, turning aside 40 of 45 shots.

"Just an excellent performance once again", enthused Lindy Ruff after the game. "I actually asked the guys to play more passive when we got the 4-2 lead and it almost cost us the game, as they scored two quick ones to tie it."

"Thankfully, our guys had a couple more in them!"

Dylan Hunter played his first NHL game for Buffalo and recorded an assist on Dumont's powerplay marker. He played a little over 12 minutes and lined up alongside Derek Roy and Taylor Pyatt on the Sabres third line.

Thomas Vanek and Maxim Afinogenov both missed the game due to injury while Jeff Jillson was a healthy scratch after Toni Lydman returned from his hip flexor injury.

Buffalo continues out west to Vancouver to play the Canucks on Wednesday night. Game time is 10:00 Eastern Time.

Buffalo News
January 25 2006 (Vancouver, BC) -
Sabres wingers Thomas Vanek and Maxim Afinogenov both returned to full-contact drills in practice yesterday morning in Vancouver.

Vanek will likely be ready to go tonight against the Canucks while Afinogenov may be held out for one more game due to tenderness in his broken finger.

"There's no reason for Max to rush back", stated Lindy Ruff. "The team is starting to come around nicely and we've got a couple extra guys here so one more game isn't the end of the world."<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/MarkMancari.jpg</div>

"Thomas will be ready to go for sure though."

In other Sabres news, Mark Mancari (pictured at right), who's spent the year playing for Rochester, has accepted a loan assignment to Stockton of the ECHL. Mancari, who hadn't been used much in the last few weeks, had 11 points (4g 7a) in 25 games with the Amerks and was a +4.

General manager Matt Bosela said the team was "disappointed that Mark wasn't able to get more ice time in Rochester and that this move would help his development immensely."

Bosela would add that he felt Mancari earned the shot at more playing time in Rochester with his "fine play" but was a victim of the numbers game due to the shared affiliation with the Florida Panthers.

Stockton has welcomed three Sabres prospects this year: Mancari, Dylan Hunter (now playing in Buffalo) and goaltender Adam Dennis, who's not seeing much time behind Eric Fichaud, the #1 keeper for the Thunder.

Buffalo News
January 26 2006 (Vancouver, BC) -
After a slow start, the Vancouver Canucks and the NHL's leading scorer imposed their will on the Buffalo Sabres.

Bertuzzi scored three times in the second period of an eventual 6-3 Vancouver win over Buffalo last night at General Motors Place. Anson Carter, Matt Cooke and Markus Naslund also scored for the Canucks. Naslund (1g 2a) and Henrik Sedin (2a) joined Bertuzzi (3g) with multipoint games.

Jochen Hecht, Daniel Briere and Dylan Hunter, with his first career NHL goal, scored for the Sabres. Hecht also contributed an assist in the contest.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/JochenHecht2.jpg</div>

Ryan Miller took the loss in the Buffalo net, allowing 5 goals and getting pulled after Bertuzzi's third of the night. Dan Cloutier picked up his 27th win of the year.

"They are a powerful team and we had trouble controlling the Sedin, Bertuzzi, Naslund line in the second", coach Lindy Ruff said after the game. "Overall, I thought our offense was decent but Cloutier played really well."

"I can't be too disappointed. We gave a good effort."

Thomas Vanek returned to the lineup and notched an assist after missing two games with a shoulder problem. Taylor Pyatt and Jeff Jillson were healthy scratches for Buffalo and Maxim Afinogenov is still nursing his broken finger. Ruff says that they may rest Afinogenov for one more game as a precautionary measure, even though he's fully participating in practices.

There's no break for Buffalo, as they flew into Minnesota after the game and will face the Wild tonight at Xcel Energy Place in St. Paul. Game time is 8:30pm Eastern Time.

Buffalo News
January 27 2006 (St. Paul, MN) -
Buffalo Sabres scoresheets are starting to resemble those from 15 years ago.

Jochen Hecht notched his first career hat trick and Toni Lydman contributed 3 assists and a +5 rating in a 7-4 Sabres win over the Minnesota Wild last night at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

Ales Kotalik, Thomas Vanek, Daniel Briere and Mike Grier also scored for the Sabres. Hecht (3g), Briere (1g 2a), Lydman (3a), J.P. Dumont (3a) and Tim Connolly (2a) had multipoint games for Buffalo.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/ToniLydman.jpg</div>

Alexandre Daigle scored two goals for Minnesota, with singles going to Pascal Dupuis and Brian Rolston. Daigle, Rolston (1g 1a) and Filip Kuba (2a) had multipoint games for Minnesota.

Buffalo threw everything but the kitchen sink at Minnesota goaltender Brian Boucher, who turned aside 54 of 61 Sabres shots. Martin Biron manned the cage for the Sabres, making 27 saves.

Sabres coach Lindy Ruff was happy with the team's effort, especially considering the difficult travel schedule.

"For us to come out and play as hard as we did and get as many shots as we did, considering we played in Vancouver last night? Yeah, I'm a happy coach."

Ruff continued, "I would love for us to be tighter in the defensive zone but we've come to the realization that this is an offensively skilled hockey club and we're going to make some mistakes in our own end."

"As long as we keep scoring goals, I don't envision changes."

Maxim Afinogenov took the pre-game skate but was held out of the lineup for the seventh consecutive game due to his finger injury. Ruff also scratched winger Adam Mair and the ineffective Teppo Numminen in favour of Taylor Pyatt and Jeff Jillson.

Buffalo returns home to face the Dallas Stars at HSBC Arena on Saturday night. Game time is 7:00pm.

Buffalo News
January 28 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
Buffalo Sabres general manager Matt Bosela announced that winger Dylan Hunter has been sent down to the Rochester Americans of the AHL.

Hunter scored his first NHL goal and added an assist in his first three NHL games with the Sabres.

"Dylan did a great job for us in the three games and we look forward to his continued development as a hockey player in Rochester", Bosela would say.

Bosela also didn't rule out an eventual move to Stockton of the ECHL for Hunter if he didn't get enough ice time with the Amerks.

Buffalo News
January 29 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
Five different scorers contributed to an all-around excellent 5-2 Buffalo Sabres victory over the Western Conference leading Dallas Stars last night at HSBC Arena.

Buffalo has now won four of five games and six of their last eight.

J.P. Dumont, Derek Roy, Teppo Numminen, Tim Connolly and Jochen Hecht all scored for the Sabres. Connolly (1g 1a) and Chris Drury (2a) notched multipoint games.

Sergei Zubov and Steve Ott scored for the Stars.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/DerekRoy2.png</div>

Martin Biron was excellent in goal for Buffalo, stopping 28 of 30 Dallas shots. Marty Turco was busy, as most Sabres opposing goaltenders are these days, turning aside 38 of 43 Buffalo shots.

"We didn't panic after they opened the scoring and that was key", coach Lindy Ruff said after the game. "We kept with the game plan and really played a solid game."

"I'm really happy with our defensive zone coverage as well and our penalty killing continues to improve."

Jeff Jillson and Taylor Pyatt were the scratches for Buffalo. Maxim Afinogenov returned to the lineup and played on the right wing with Derek Roy and Thomas Vanek.

Buffalo once again gets no rest, as the team flew to Washington immediately after the game in preparation for tonight's tilt against the Capitals. Game time at MCI Center is 7:30pm.

Buffalo News
January 30 2006 (Washington, DC) -
Chris Drury scored 11 seconds into the extra frame to lead the Buffalo Sabres past the Washington Capitals 4-3 last night at MCI Center.

Tim Connolly, Thomas Vanek and Daniel Briere also scored for the Sabres. Briere (1g 1a) had a multipoint game for the Sabres. Ales Kotalik recorded an assist on Connolly's goal, giving him 100 career NHL points.

Maxim Kondratiev, Matt Stajan and Eric Fehr replied for the Capitals. Danius Zubrus recorded 2 assists in the loss.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/DanielBriere2.jpg</div>

Ryan Miller turned aside 35 of 38 Washington shots in the win while Olaf Kolzig was forced to stop 46 of 50 Sabres shots in a losing effort.

Coach Lindy Ruff was proud of his team's determination.

"The Capitals just kept coming all game", he said. "It would have been easy to fold our tent after Fehr's late tying goal but the guys were ready to rock before the overtime."

"This club doesn't need me to motivate them. They are an easy bunch to coach."

Taylor Pyatt and Jeff Jillson were the scratches for Buffalo on the night.

The Sabres get a five day break in the schedule and won't suit up again until Saturday night, when the Calgary Flames come to town. Game time on Saturday is 7:30pm.

Buffalo News
February 3 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
Dylan Hunter will get to finish what he started in the East Coast Hockey League.

Hunter was reassigned to the Stockton Thunder yesterday and will join fellow Sabres prospect Mark Mancari. Hunter was with the Rochester Americans for a few games after playing three successful contests with the parent Sabres.

"Dylan had tremendous success in his early season stint with Stockton and we look forward to him continuing his development with the Thunder", general manager Matt Bosela said in a statement yesterday afternoon.

Hunter still leads the entire ECHL in point scoring with 54 (27g 27a) in only 32 games. He was recently named ECHL Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month for January despite playing in only seven contests. He had 18 points in the month (8g 10a).

In other news, Sabres goaltending prospect Adam Dennis has been assigned to the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs of the CHL. Dennis has had much difficulty getting into games this year and it's hoped the Mudbugs will utilize Dennis frequently in the coming weeks.

"We really would like to see Adam get a run of starts to see what he can do", Bosela said. Dennis played four games with the Stockton Thunder, going 1-3 with a 3.00 goals against average.

Buffalo News
February 5 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
Paul Gaustad is just thrilled to be in the NHL after spending the majority of the year with Rochester of the AHL.

He better get used to the feeling.

Gaustad had a career-high 3 points, scoring once and adding two assists in an 8-2 Sabres destruction of the Calgary Flames at HSBC Arena. J.P. Dumont scored twice for Buffalo, with Mike Grier, Maxim Afinogenov, Jochen Hecht, Thomas Vanek and Ales Kotalik adding singles.

Gaustad, Dumont (2g), Vanek (1g 1a), Hecht (1g 1a), Afinogenov (1g 1a) and Brian Campbell (2a) all had multipoint games for Buffalo. The Sabres scored seven times alone in the decisive second period.<div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px"><img style="border-right: #000000 2px solid; border-top: #000000 2px solid; border-left: #000000 2px solid; border-bottom: #000000 2px solid" http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c60/NoSkillzMB/JPDumont2.jpg</div>

Tony Amonte and Chris Simon replied for Calgary, who hadn't lost in regulation in 10 games prior to this contest.

Martin Biron was excellent in net for the Sabres, stopping 29 of 31 Calgary shots. Brent Johnson was dismal, getting pulled after allowing six goals on 23 shots. Miikka Kiprusoff replaced him and allowed two more goals.

Lindy Ruff was able to utilize his third and fourth lines more than usual due to the large lead.

"It was nice to be able to give Gaustad, Mair and Grier some powerplay time", Ruff enthused. "It's a long season and it is pretty much necessary to find some rest time for the top liners when you can."

Jay McKee left the game late in the second period with a finger injury. Ruff says that he stubbed it along the boards and for precautionary reasons was held out the rest of the way.

"With the lead we had, I saw no reason to risk further injury", Ruff said. "The doctors say it's nothing serious so hopefully we can have Jay back for the Rangers game on Monday night."

Taylor Pyatt and Jeff Jillson were scratched once again for the Sabres.

Buffalo travels to New York to take on the Rangers Monday night. Game time at Madison Square Garden is 7:30pm.
