| It seems like Ryan Miller is gone and Thomas Vanek could be, too. It's going to get rougher before it gets better for the Sabres. | ||

| The season on the line in a do-or-die game against the Rangers and THAT is what they turn in, an 8-4 loss? Oy vey. I can't wait to see what their offseason has in store. | ||

| The Sabres are doing what they have become adept at the past few seasons, which isn't a good thing: they're making a futile late push. The Sabres have won five of seven to move to within four of the eight seed but it's probably still a pipe dream. | ||

| Get a good look at the Sabres, this could/should be the last time you see them all together as GM Darcy Regier has planted the For Sale sign in the front yard. Why not? They've lost four in a row. | ||

| This sure as heck doesn't look like a playoff team but three straight wins have them within striking distance. It would probably be for the best, though, if they didn't "go for it." | ||

| Is this the end for the core players in Buffalo? Probably. Whether the team is dismantled at the deadline or in the offseason, it's time to cut bait. The Sabres overall are a mess. | ||

| After that initial bump from Ron Rolston replacing Lindy Ruff, the Sabres have fallen back to playing the way they did before. Four straight losses. | ||

| Wait a minute was that a wi ... win ... winning streak? Why yes, yes it was. In fact, the Sabres have points in four straight games. Welcome to the NHL, Ron Rolston ... You know what was quietly a nice acquisition? Steve Ott. | ||

| New coach, same awful results. The Sabres have dropped four games in a row and are now dead last in the Eastern Conference. ... You know it's bad when the owner's daughter is criticizing the team. | ||

| How maddening is this team? They're highly-paid and show flashes like that third period vs. the Bruins. But then they have more periods like the first two vs. the Bruins. They've given up more goals than any team in the league. | ||

| The Sabres, despite their payroll, had problems scoring last season. So naturally they traded away Derek Roy for Steve Ott. That addressed the need for some more grit, yes, but not the offense. ... The amnesty buyout next summer probably looks pretty good to Darcy Regeir right about now with Ville Leino. | ||
