Mike and Evan go on to discuss the Bills retaining some of their free agents and how they can improve next season without cap space.

As a Buffalo Sabres fan for many years, you’ve come to realize that there’s been better days for the Sabres. For the past few seasons we’ve looked more forward to the draft, trade deadline or off-season than we did with the actual season. But, right now we can all take a deep sigh of relief and say “The end of the beginning is near Buffalo”. Continue reading →

With the National Hockey League trade deadline approaching, the Buffalo Sabres currently sit in a 6-way tie for last place with 47 points with 30 games left. Sabres GM Tim Murray recently went on a local radio show in Buffalo to give his thoughts on the upcoming deadline “I believe in two weeks or so it’ll be pretty clear what we should do. I don’t have the answer. I’m leaning a certain way, but I’m gonna wait to see what our players and coaching staff do between now and then to show me exactly where we are.” Buffalo will seem to be a seller once again come this year’s deadline on February 29th, but here are 5 moves that Tim Murray can make over the next few weeks to help rebuild and guide the Sabres into the playoffs next year.

Hard Foul Sports Podcast: Episode 34 with Guest Matthew Coller

Posted on December 18, 2015 by hardfoulsports | Leave a comment

This week on the podcast Mike and Evan are joined again by Matthew Coller of WGR550 Sports Radio in Buffalo and ESPN. The guys had an in-depth conversation about Bills and Sabres at this stage of their respective seasons. The rumors surrounding Steven Stamkos and what we thought of the ESPN documentary of the Super Bowl era Bills are also discussed. We also ponder the unthinkable: could the Sabres actually move Eichel in a Stamkos trade? The interview starts about 10 minutes into the show, first half is about the Sabres and we finish up with Bills talk.

Sabres Have High Hopes for the Month of December

Boy does it feel good to write about this hockey team again. It was a heartbreaker over the weekend for only half of Buffalo’s professional sport spectrum. The Bills loss to the Kansas City Chiefs all but seals the fate of a team that currently holds the title of “longest playoff drought in professional sports”. Yes, as a big Buffalo guy it is very hard to hear that astounding fact.

On a more positive note the Buffalo Sabres finished up the month of November with a 4-1 victory against the Nashville Predators. The Preds shrugged off the Sabres only three nights before in a game that forced Buffalo fans to channel-swap between primetime hockey and Thursday Night Football. Continue reading →

The Return of a Legend: Miller Back in Buffalo

Attention has focused directly on Ryan Miller for this weekend’s matchup against the Vancouver Canucks. There will be intense emotions streaming throughout the First Niagara Center as fans, players, coaches and other staff members reflect on the 11 seasons that the Michigan native spent in between the pipes for the Buffalo Sabres.

It will be a different situation for Miller when he skates onto the ice wearing blue, white and green. I know, that sounded pretty good up until the green was mentioned. Miller was traded to the St. Louis Blues on a night that went from routine to hectic. It became a scramble to find an additional goaltender when it was announced that a trade had been made a mere half hour before puck drop. Steve Ott and Ryan Miller were exchanged for Jaroslav Halak and Chris Stewart on March 1, 2014.

Review: Buffalo Sabres After 6 Games

Posted on October 23, 2015 by hardfoulsports | Leave a comment

Mike Babcock and Dan Bylsma were introduced to the border rivalry at a divided First Niagara Center on Wednesday night. Buffalo squeezed by Toronto in a shootout victory that had a final score of 2-1. Visiting Maple Leaf fans were sent back across the northern border in a silent and swift fashion. The last 18 matchups at FNC between the two teams sits at an extraordinary record of 16-1-1 in favor of the hometown Sabres.
