Hopped Up: Firestone Walker Parabola

By Mark Miller On June 9, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Firestone Walker was founded in 1996 by two Brothers in-law in California. Their beers are truly outstanding and I consider myself lucky that FW distributes to New York. I recently had FW’s newest offering, Wookey Jack, a Black IPA that is out of this world. I was excited when I found out one of their [...]

Hopped Up: A Craft Beer Series

By Mark Miller On June 8, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Today I want to take by first step into beer blogging. Just recently I’ve been converted to the world of craft beer and I havent looked back since. I scrounge around craft beer forums, I stake out on local businesses websites for updated inventory, I do anything I can to consume everything there is about [...]

Playoffs or Bust

By Jared Nourse On March 27, 2012 · Leave a Comment

With all of the pressure and hype at the beginning of the season, I’m not surprised that Buffalo struggled at the beginning of the year. We saw a jumble of injuries, but I won’t accept that tired excuse. Tell Pittsburgh that injuries are supposed to stop a team. Instead of believing that, Malkin is on [...]

We’ve Run Out of Scapegoats

By Alex Szczesny On January 18, 2012 · Leave a Comment

So I finally don’t have to watch a crappy internet stream… and apparently the Sabres look worse in HD.  Over the last few weeks, ANYONE with two eyes has had their criticism of the team and everyone’s got a different reason.  After another loss, I am running out of people to [...]

Is It So Bad?

Is it so bad?

By Jared Nourse On January 17, 2012 · 1 Comment

Well… yes. I do agree with… just about everyone that the Sabres are NOT playing well at the moment. We’ve seen a lack of hustle, and in my opinion, a lack of strong leadership, mainly from one Lindy Ruff.

We’ve all heard the call for Lindy’s head before, and it goes unheard of by the [...]

Top 11 Sabres of 2011: #1 Terry Pegula

By Alex Szczesny On January 10, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Sure, I might have taken the easy way out, but did anyone have more impact on the Buffalo Sabres in 2011 than Terry Pegula?  From his arrival in February, Pegula put his mark on the team early and often.  From the Brad Boyes acquisition (very un-Darcy thing to do under old management) to [...]

Top 11 Sabres of 2011: #2 Thomas Vanek

By Alex Szczesny On January 8, 2012 · Leave a Comment

The closest the Sabres have to any sort of superstar, outside of Ryan Miller, would be #26 Thomas Vanek.  By far their most consistent goal scoring threat, Vanek has electrified the city of Buffalo even before his NHL career.  I consider myself a casual college hockey fan, but as a hockey junkie, I [...]

Top 11 Sabres of 2011: #3 Jason Pominville

By Alex Szczesny On January 7, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Perhaps unfairly criticized due to the size of his contract, there is no doubt however, that Jason Pominville has come into his own since getting the “C” at the start of the ’11-’12 season.  No matter your opinions on who should have been in the new captain, Pominville has really evolved as a [...]

Top 11 Sabres of 2011: #4 Nathan Gerbe

By Alex Szczesny On January 3, 2012 · 2 Comments

Wow, what a 2011 Nathan Gerbe had.  After a slow start to the season last year, Gerbe’s game turned around in late January and he found himself among the best Sabres down the stretch.  This is where writing this countdown will be enjoyable because I like everyone left on this list.  Far too [...]

Top 11 Sabres of 2011: #5 Ryan Miller

By Alex Szczesny On January 2, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Oh Ryan Miller… second only to your coach, you draw the most criticism of anyone in Blue and Gold.  Much like any coach in any sport, when the team does poor, you shoulder most of the blame and when the team does well, you get the most praise.  Granted the position of goalie [...]
