SABRES RUMORS & GOSSIP
GARTH: Roycky Mountain High
The Buffalo Sabres passes on the opportunity to hire Quebec Remparts head coach, Patrick Roy. Late Monday night, news broke in Denver that Roy will be the next head coach of Colorado Avalanche. Adrian Dater of the Denver Post could not get confirmation, nor denial, that Joe Sakic and the Avs brass will be naming Roy as their next head coach. However, he was able to get some insight...

The Pegula Story Nobody Wants to Talk Abou
Terry Pegula bought the Buffalo Sabres in January of 2011 for $189 million. There were reports that another bid was higher previously, but that buyer would have moved the Sabres out of Buffalo (report here). While the Sabres leaving Buffalo may not have been a real option, Pegula did save the Sabres franchise, and the surrounding community, in a way.
By keeping the Sabres in...

With Ryan Miller’s future in Buffalo in limbo, Sabres fans were able to get a better look at the man who would be Miller’s likely replacement should he be moved on a grander...
GARTH: Enroth MVP
Jhonas Enroth is maing a strong case to be named MVP of the IIHF World Hockey Championships.
Enroth is 5-1 with two shutouts, .955 save % and a 1.17 GAA.
Knowing the ultra competitive Swede the way I do, he'd probably say "who cares" about the MVP. The only thing Enroth wants to have and hold onto forever is the gold medal.
Its well within his grasp right...
Remember when playoff hockey was in Buffalo?
Am I the only one who misses playoff hockey in Buffalo? It's not often one can wear shorts heading into the First Niagara Center with a hockey game to go to. Then again, I don't think the Sabres could compete in a 7 game series with most of these playoff teams. There's plenty of work to do. About two months from now, the 2013-14 schedule will be released, and I cannot...
Sabres have trade chips on the wings
It’s a time of turnover in Hockey Purgatory Heaven with Lindy Ruff getting his walking papers while Jordan Leopold, Jason Pominville and Robyn Regehr each were shipped out of town before the deadline. It appears as if this summer will bring about more change via the trade market for the Sabres as they continue their rebuild.
One key for the Sabres will be finding partners...

Don’t blame Miller: Poor defense led to Sabres lack of Goaltending
The Buffalo Sabres goaltending situation is as tenuous as can be after a rocky season that watched the Sabres fire long-time head coach Lindy Ruff on its way to missing the playoffs for the second-straight year.
The Ryan Miller and Jhonas Enroth duo was supposed to be a the pairing that solidified Buffalo’s net. Unfortunately for the Sabres, Miller was peppered with shots all...

Shedding the “Interim” Coat in Buffalo
The Buffalo Sabres decided it was prime time for Interim Coach Ron Rolston to lose his “interim” coat and officially be the Sabres’ head coach in the 2013-2014 season. Rolston becomes the 16th person to take the reins of the Sabres and be their head coach.
Rolston was brought in to serve as the Sabres interim head coach after the team got off to a 6-10-1 start and former bench...
Grading the Sabres: 2013 report card
A fired coach, traded captain, booing fans and missing the playoffs typically doesn’t not make for a very successful season. That was certainly the case for the 2013 Buffalo Sabres.
While there were a few bright spots amongst the doom and gloom, the lockout shortened season is certainly one to forget for the Sabres. Before shutting the door completely I wanted to grade out...
HI!
Sabres' John Scott videobombs interview
via NHL.com video Whatever I say here won’t do justice the little stunt that Buffalo Sabres’ tough guy John Scott pulled during teammate Chad Ruhwedel’s post game interview Sunday. While MSG-Buffalo’s Brian Duff asked Duhwedel about getting a high-stick to the face while not wearing a full shield, Scott grabbed his faux fur coat and got his groove on. Duhwedel had no clue...
