Listen to us as we're really giving it to them as they come off the ice. I busted on Alexei Yashin pretty good. So what does he do? At the end of the g...

Jeff Tambellini #15 of the New York Islanders celebrates his third goal of the game against the Buffalo Sabres .

By Kevin The Sabres early-season games included perennial doormats such as the Islanders, Atlanta, Phoenix and Tampa Bay.  That had most folks figuring on some easy wins and a surge to the top of the standings.  Most of them did turn out to be wins, but they were anything but easy as Phoenix, for examp...

By Kevin Those are Jody Gage’s career numbers with the Buffalo Sabres despite having been in the Sabres system for 11 years. Jody Gage came to the Amerks after the 1984-85 season, and became a fixture in Rochester for over 20 years as a player, an assistant GM and a General Manager.  To quote directly f...

After a dismal start to the season, the New York Islanders are on one of their best runs in nearly two years. A matchup with a team they dominated just a few days ago could help them continue that strong play. New York looks to win its fifth straight Wednesday night when it visits the Buffalo Sabr...

Martin Biron earned his 200th NHL win and 26th career shutout, and Jeff Tambellini scored three goals for his first career hat trick as the New York Islanders routed the Buffalo Sabres 5-0 Saturday night to stretch their winning streak to three games. Biron made 38 saves in his first victor...

The last time the Buffalo Sabres enjoyed such a strong October, they ended up in the Eastern Conference finals behind goaltender Ryan Miller. They likely would settle for a season-high fifth consecutive win Saturday night when they visit the New York Islanders. The Sabres (8-1-1) have 17...

By Kevin Quickly about last night: - Gaustad destroyed Jackman - Penalty shots are fun - The Islanders are not very good at hockey. - In fact, if they were even mediocre, the Sabres would have lost like 9-1. Atlanta played last night as well (and won in Hew Jersey, no less) so I expect the two teams to run l...

Ryan Miller and the Buffalo Sabres are having a lot of fun winning games early on. Miller was spectacular in making 36 saves, Clarke MacArthur scored on a penalty shot, and rookie Tyler Myers scored his first NHL goal to help keep the Sabres undefeated in regulation with a 6-3 win over the New...

Clarke MacArthur scored on a penalty shot, Ryan Miller made 36 saves, and Tyler Myers scored his first NHL goal to help keep the Buffalo Sabres undefeated in regulation with a 6-3 win over the New York Islanders on Friday night. Tim Connolly had a goal and assist, and Jochen Hecht, Patrick Ka...

By Kevin All Ramsey did was go on to be (in my opinion) the greatest defenseman in Sabres history.  Yes, I will entertain arguments for Phil Housley, and certainly if he had played the majority of his career in Buffalo as Ramsey did he would hold that honor, hands down.  But Ramsey was what Buffalo is al...

The Buffalo Sabres received good news that Thomas Vanek's injury was not as serious as first thought. The Sabres, however, might still have to play without their leading goal scorer as they search for their fourth straight victory Friday night when they host the winless New York Islander...

By Frostee Why did it take a shootout to beat the Islanders?  Not only are the Islanders craptastically bad, but the Sabres had a two goal lead with four minutes left.  Hell, they had a one goal lead with TWO SECONDS left.  That was not good.  N.G., as my grandfather would say, “smelly” as my great-grandfath...

By Seth Rorabaugh Atlantic Division Islanders defenseman Brendan Witt says head coach Scott Gordon's system makes playing defense difficult. Apparenlty being an old, broken down, over the hill player has nothing to do with Witt's problems. The Sabres recalled defenseman Chris Butler from Portland of t...

The Islanders will open the 2007-08 season the way they ended the last one, with a home-and-home series against the Sabres. The NHL released its schedule yesterday, and it showed that the Islanders' first game will be Oct. 5 in Buffalo, where they were knocked out of the playoffs in April. The...

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS, 7:29 p.m. April 16 (AP): Thomas Vanek and the Buffalo Sabres forwards stayed down only so long. After two games where most of the offense came from the defense, Vanek, Daniel Briere, and Adam Mair all connected in the second period Monday night to lift Buffalo to a 3-2 vic...

Rick DiPietro's head is fine, and suddenly so are the New York Islanders. DiPietro bounced back from a pair of concussions to stop 32 shots in his first game in three weeks, and Marc-Andre Bergeron scored the go-ahead goal 8 minutes into the third period to lead the Islanders to a 3-2 win over...

The Buffalo Sabres were the NHL's best team during the regular season. There's good reason to believe they will be even better in the playoffs. The top-seeded Sabres begin what they expect will be a very deep run into the postseason Thursday night when they host the New York Islanders in Game...

Forward Ryan Smyth missed the Islanders' game against Buffalo on Friday because of leg injury, further depleting New York's roster for its final playoff push. Smyth is day-to-day after practising on a limited basis since a 3-2 loss to New Jersey on Tuesday. Smyth has four goals and nine ass...

Maybe a visit to Long Island will help the Buffalo Sabres snap out of their January doldrums. The Eastern Conference-leading Sabres try to defeat the New York Islanders for the seventh consecutive time as the teams face off Saturday. The Islanders (22-21-5) dominated the Sabres (33-13-4...

In the opening seconds of a historic victory, Buffalo Sabres goalie Ryan Miller had a serious "uh-oh" moment.

The Buffalo Sabres are making their historic start look easy. Maxim Afinogenov pumped in a goal and assist, Ryan Miller stopped 29 shots, and the perfect Sabres beat the New York Islanders 3-0 Thursday night to win their 10th straight game and match the best start the NHL has ever seen. Afino...
