Buffalo Thanks Lindy Ruff

Rob Banks — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 07:13:14 +0000

Reason no. 1 why I don't ever want to leave Buffalo -- it truly is the city of good neighbors. Lindy Ruff was great for the Sabres organization, was great to the fans and was great for the city of Buffalo. He left a legacy, and the photo above is what he came out of the arena to find yesterday...signed by numerous fans and well wishers. Check it out.

Welp, the preseason for the NHL has officially been canceled. Cross your fingers that the rest of the season isn’t going down the same path. It’s super annoying to the fans when the NHL goes into lockout. It’s more annoying to think that the players and owners are fighting over money and work when they [...]

Sabres' Ryan Miller Meets "Make-A-Wish" Boy

Cheryl Hagen — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:31:57 +0000

Win or lose, Ryan Miller will always be tops in my book. Miller took time after practice last week to meet with an 11-year-old boy who’s battle against leukemia is a must win. Four years ago, Jacob Schmidt was like any other second grader. The then 7-year-old went to school, loved pizza and played hockey and baseball with [...]

Sabres Tickets Increase

Alexis — Thu, 12 May 2011 17:22:16 +0000

We are going to pay a little more to see our loved Sabres play at HSBC Arena. The team announced today that the cost of tickets has increased by $1-$4 dollars. We still have some of the best prices for tickets in the NHL league. On average we are about $16 dollars less than other teams. The team needs to increase the prices to ensure they are able to qualify for revenue sharing.

Doodles From A Ten-Year-Old Sabres Fan! We'd Love To See Your Kids Pictures!

Cheryl Hagen — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 13:00:45 +0000

I just had to share this with you. My son Ryan drew this picture of Philadelphia Flyers Winger Scott Hartnell. Every time I look at this, I laugh harder. Ryan’s only ten-years-old, and he actually can draw a little better than this. I think his efforts though were aimed at showing what a bully Hartnell [...]
