Top Three Lines: Chicago Blackhawks 6, Buffalo Sabres 2
1) This is my least favorite Sabres team of all-time. 2) Derek Roy and Drew Stafford are playing as if they are in one of the dreams in “Nightmare on Elm Street” and there is no plausible way they are escaping hockey doom on any given play. 3) When Jhonas Enroth looks that far out-of-it,… Continue Reading
Number Nine, Number Nine, Number Nine…
It’s late April 2010 and the atmosphere is grim in the Buffalo Sabres locker room. Two centers have been interviewed back-to-back about the fan disdain for their performance in Buffalo’s six-game loss to the Boston Bruins. One, Tim Connolly, isn’t close to saying any of the right things but the other, Derek Roy, is crushed… Continue Reading

Roy’s injury is a death knell… though it shouldn’t be
(WECK 1230) — Derek Roy will miss 4-6 months as a result of a torn quadriceps muscle, an injury that can plague a comeback even longer than that period of time. With Roy hitting his career stride in both effort, two-way play and point production, this is a terrible knock for a hockey team. It… Continue Reading
Heart and Desire?
(WECK 1230) — “Heart and Desire” was a team motto for the Buffalo Sabres in the past, a phrase co-opted with hope by a coaching staff and dismissed by many who watched them. Maybe, just maybe, the true meaning of that phrase was latent, only to emerge when the beaten-down boys were battered even further…. Continue Reading
Roy, How the Times Have Changed
(WECK 1230) – At the age 27, the player finds himself at a career intersection. Drafted in the first round, the short-of-stature forward has been criticized for lax play in his own zone and all-around underperforming. Sure, he’s scored a bunch of goals, but they weren’t big ones and he’s failed to distinguish himself as… Continue Reading
