With the NHL regular season nearing its halfway point, THN.com is checking in and assigning letter grades for what they've done so far. This is the second division-by-division file - we began the process yesterday with the Eastern Conference's Metropolitan Division. On Saturday, we'll examine the Central, and after our three stars of the week…

The Sabres are 30 games into what has been a whirlwind season. They started off hot, winning seven of their first 10 games. Injuries contributed to the team hitting a roadblock in November and losing eight straight games without even collecting an overtime point. Since that streak ended, the Sabres are 7-3-2 and have worked themselves back to…

The San Jose Sharks (8-15-4, seventh Pacific) face the Buffalo Sabres (10-13-1, eighth Atlantic) on Sunday for the second half of a back-to-back that will close out the road trip. Following a defeat against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday, the Sharks look to end the road trip on a high note. Despite Tomas Hertl's two first-period goals, the Sharks…

The Buffalo Sabres reportedly have good odds to land Matthew Tkachuk, per an article posted by WYRK. This gives them the fourth-highest odds of landing the 24-year-old winger. And although I laid out a trade scenario in a previous article, I did state that I do not believe a trade would happen. Not only did I not believe the Buffalo Sabres would…

The Buffalo Sabres will face off with the Detroit Red Wings for an Atlantic Division showdown in what might be their most pivotal matchup to date. The Buffalo Sabres and Detroit Red Wings are two teams on the rise in the Atlantic Division, but their respective general managers have built them in entirely different ways. Sabres general manager Kevyn…

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo Sabres begin the 2022-23 season Thursday night against the Ottawa Senators. They have both the youngest and cheapest roster in the NHL, a sign of where they are in their rebuilding process. They've gotten their salary cap into a healthy place, paved the way for high draft picks to get significant playing time and are…

Opening day is here, and if you haven't met them yet, check out who will be taking the ice tonight as the Buffalo Sabres face the Senators. The Buffalo Sabres are an NHL team on the up and up. No, they are not Stanley Cup contenders in 2022-23, but they have enough talent to contend for a wild card spot. Even then, their odds are long, but they…

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - The Buffalo Sabres open the 2022-23 season on Thursday night with optimism that their young core can turn the franchise into a perennial contender once again. How much longer will fans have to wait for the team to make the playoffs? Could this year be the year the Sabres end their playoff drought, or will their league record…

Imagine a starting rotation of Luis Castillo, Alek Manoah and Kevin Gausman. And then add in a little hope for the future with Jose Berrios and Hyun-jin Ryu, and the dependability of Ross Stripling. It could have happened had Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins beat the Seattle Mariners to the punch at baseball's trade deadline this summer. It…

Fortune favors the bold, or so the saying goes. Even conservatively handicapping a sport as unpredictable as hockey - where seemingly every season, there are two or three jaw-dropping surprises in the standings based on the bounces of a frozen vulcanized rubber disk - can leave you looking foolish. We're throwing conservative selections out the…

The youth movement is in full swing in Buffalo, and general manager Kevyn Adams has a lot of future talent to sort through in order to build his team over the next few years. Names like Owen Power and Jack Quinn already have shown the value of a first-round pick, and players like Mattias Samuelsson and Jacob Bryson have shown how rewarding it is to…

The Sabres didn't tinker much with their forward group this offseason. Kevyn Adams wanted to make sure prospects like Jack Quinn and J.J. Peterka had a realistic path to the lineup, and they now have that. Buffalo was once again comfortably in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference in scoring a year ago. But a few players showed promising signs…

The Buffalo Sabres have a youth movement going on in their organization that leaves no stat line to an easy prediction. With so many players moving around the lineup and with a number of young prospects graduating to the NHL level, they have a lot to look forward to as far as production is concerned. This year will be about winning more than…

How much are you gambling on sports? Ontario's agency in charge of controlling the new public gambling operators market reported yesterday that $4 billion Canadian Dollars worth of wagers were placed in the period of their first ever quarterly report, which covers Q22022 (April 1 to June 30, though the first operator did not launch until April…
