Latest news and updates about the Sabres
John Garrett has passed away unexpectedly at 74 after over 40 years of colour commentary, authorities announced on Tuesday morning. Garrett was a goaltender in the NHL and WHA. When “Cheech” retired in 1985, he became one of the greatest colour commentators in the NHL. For 12 seasons, Garrett worked for CBC, where he covered…
Welcome to another night of Bruins hockey, folks! Ideally, this isn’t the last one until October, but that’s up to the Bruins, not any of you. (Unless you messed up one of your superstitions prior to Sunday, in which case it’s entirely possible this is all your fault.) I am not an analytics expert, but […]
Welcome to another edition of the Public Skate, folks! The Bruins and Sabres are back at it this afternoon, fresh off of enjoying two days off after Game 3 on Thursday. The B’s should be playing with a level of desperation facing the prospect of going back to Buffalo in a 3-1 hole, but there’s […]
The Buffalo Sabres have dominated the series with the Boston Bruins. With a 2-1 lead and head coach Lindy Ruff demonstrating that the team has the depth to keep the team in the W column, the Sabres still remain without forward Josh Norris. Norris, 26, played a total of 16:39 in Game 2, had one shot on goal, and one hit in the Sabres' only loss thus far. Norris: Day-To-Day He'd be given "day-to-day" status by the Sabres, with Norris injury being undisclosed. The team has held...
Game 3 is upon us, folks! TD Garden should be jumping tonight, with the Bruins coming home from Buffalo with a split and playing their first home playoff game in a couple of years. The Bruins were an excellent team on home ice this season, so here’s to hoping that continues. If the B’s can […]

The Stanley Cup Playoffs continue all week long after an excellent start over the weekend. The playoffs have already delivered some chaos: the Buffalo Sabres stormed back late to stun the Boston Bruins, the Montreal Canadiens won Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Lightning in overtime thanks to a hat trick from Juraj Slafkovsky, and the Minnesota Wild crushed the Dallas Stars early just to remind everyone brackets aren’t set in stone. Meanwhile, the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights ...
Former Buffalo Sabres enforcer and now podcaster Andrew Peters has revealed a slew of inside information on what led to the dismissal of general manager Kevyn Adams. The GM's firing was the turning point for the Sabres to go from worst to first and finally end their 14-year playoff drought. Speaking on The Fan 590's Kyper & Bourne Show, Peters says Adams was "a major dark cloud" hanging over the Buffalo franchise. “It was my understanding that [Kevyn Adams] was a major dark cloud over th...
In what may take a lot of hockey fans by surprise, deposed Buffalo Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams, whose team turned it on like a house on fire immediately after he was fired, will be interviewing for the vacant GM job with the Vancouver Canucks. The Vancouver Canucks have requested and been granted permission to interview Kevyn Adams for their GM opening, per @MatthewFairburn pic.twitter.com/lEMIXIhgBo — SleeperNHL (@SleeperNHL) April 21, 2026 Matthew Fairburn and Thomas Dranc...
Happy Tuesday, folks! If you ran the Boston Marathon on Monday, hopefully you’re feeling relatively normal today. My brother beat Zdeno Chara’s time, which means now my family must challenge him for the hardest shot title as well. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be working on shooting a puck, say, 30 MPH first. Anyways, the […]
An amazing Ullmark effort undone by posts and crossbars.
As the Edmonton Oilers prepare for Game 1 of their seventh consecutive playoff run, the Buffalo Sabres got their first taste of post-season action in 15 years on Sunday night. After being down 2-0 to the Boston Bruins late in the third period, the Sabres appeared to be set to start their highly anticipated playoff…
The playoffs are officially here, folks! Well, technically they started yesterday elsewhere in the NHL, but for our purposes, today’s the day. The Celtics kicked off their postseason at TD Garden earlier today, and hopefully that game went well—I’m putting this together on Saturday, so I hope the future is nice. Anyways, all of the […]
Just the facts Know your enemy *Stats listed above are from the regular season Game notes See ya tonight!
Just the Facts Final regular season results for both teams Boston Bruins Buffalo Sabres Series Preview Man. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen these two teams against one another in the playoffs. Ever since 2010, the Sabres have embarked on an over decade long wander in the desert to become the NHL’s punching […]
It’s playoff time. For half the league’s fan bases, that means you already know what to do: Lay on the floor, rocking in the fetal position and hating everything in the world. Rinse and repeat, for roughly two to eight weeks. The other half of us are jealous of you. That’s why some of us might be thinking about crossing a very controversial line, and hopping on the bandwagon of one of the playoff teams. Just a temporary fling, you know how it goes. Some of you would never consider it, of cours...
After the regular season officially concluded late on Thursday night, the NHL finally released the full schedule for the first round series between YOUR Boston Bruins and the Buffalo Sabres. Bruins vs. Sabres schedule As you know, the Sabres are the higher seed and will have home-ice advantage in the first round. Games 1, 2, […]
After the Buffalo Sabres clinched the Atlantic Division on Monday night, the only thing left to determine was where the first-round series between the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning would start. With Montreal’s loss on Tuesday night in Philadelphia, Tampa Bay secured the second seed in the division, and gets to play the opening two games, and Game 7 if it reaches that point, at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida. The NHL released the full schedule for the series, ...
While we continue to wait for the release of the full first round schedule, the NHL announced this afternoon that the Bruins and Sabres will begin their series on Sunday in Buffalo. Sunday afternoon? Maybe. Sunday evening? Could be! Sunday night? Anything is possible. But hey, at least we know: Sunday. The league didn’t announce […]
With Tuesday night’s win over the New Jersey Devils, the Bruins clinched the first wild card spot in the Eastern Conference and set up a first-round match-up with the Buffalo Sabres. After missing the playoffs for 382 years, the Sabres won the Atlantic Division with either 108 or 110 points, depending on how their last […]
The NHL's unrestricted free agent market this summer will be.. well, pretty restricted . With so many of the big-name extensions being signed by notable pending UFAs already this season, that leaves only a couple of high-end names to have the market all to themselves. At forward, it's Alex Tuch of the Buffalo Sabres. And on defense, it's all coming up Darren Raddysh. The Tampa Bay Lightning 's surprising breakout 30-year-old had a year that no one would have dreamed of coming into the se...
The Chicago Blackhawks turned in another sloppy, turnover-filled mess on Monday night, falling 5-1 to the Buffalo Sabres in their second-to-last game of the season. At least it’s almost over. The Blackhawks opened the scoring just over four minutes into the game. Ilya Mikheyev intercepted a pass from Rasmus Dahlin, skated the puck out before passing it ahead to Ryan Greene, and Greene flipped it upstairs for a shorthanded goal. GOAL: Ryan Greene with a shorthanded goal to open t...
Head down to the comments to talk about Monday’s game against the Sabres! Game Preview
It’s Game No. 81, which means this is the second-to-last game on the Blackhawks schedule this season, so penultimate is the word of the day while the United Center is the scene and the Buffalo Sabres are the opponent on this Monday night. The Sabres have achieved league-wide darling status and will undoubtedly have the heaviest bandwagon come next week’s postseason, as a 15-year playoff drought has been snapped by Buffalo this season. While a playoff spot has been assured for some time no...
