  • Buffalo Sabres fall to the Winnipeg Jets in a way they've been losing a lot
    Dec 7 2025

    The Buffalo Sabres lost yet another game in which they outshot their opponent, this time to the Winnipeg Jets by a score of 4-1. What explains the Sabres playing so well and not getting the results? Sneaky Joe points to Lindy Ruff's system showing that it works, but not for the players Kevyn Adams has put on the team.

    Josh Norris has his worst game as a member of the Buffalo Sabres, but there shouldn't be cause for concern. And is it finally time the Sabres cut down to two goaltenders for the rest of the season? Will Colten Ellis be the one to go? Plus, a look at the standings still shows a division that is just begging the Sabres to take a spot in the top three.

  • Tage Thompson and Rasmus Dahlin getting scorched for performance in Philadelphia
    Dec 5 2025

    The Buffalo Sabres had an incredibly frustrating night against the Philadelphia Flyers that featured it's best two players both dropping the ball. Tage Thompson had maybe the worst effort play of his entire career, while Rasmus Dahlin was ejected for a dirty hit from behind on Trevor Zegras. How much criticism do the Sabres' best two players deserve, not just for this game, but for the entire season? Will Dahlin get suspended for his hit on Zegras? And we may have reached the end of the Colten Ellis experiment after allowing five more goals in a loss.

    Will the Sabres agree and waive Ellis?

  • Buffalo Sabres are in the playoff race because of how bad the Atlantic Division is
    Dec 3 2025
    The Buffalo Sabres are within shouting distance of both second place and third place in the Atlantic Division, despite winning just six of their last ten games. As the Sabres have picked up 12 of a possible 20 points, that has been good enough to gain ground on everyone in the division, except Tampa. Sneaky Joe dives in on the standings, how bad the Bruins, Red Wings, and Canadiens have looked, and figures out that the Sabres likely need 30 wins from here until the end of the year to make the playoffs. Are they capable of that? Plus, a preview of the Sabres vs. Philadelphia Flyers matchup Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DripDrop

  • Josh Norris dominates in first game back for the Buffalo Sabres against the Winnipeg Jets
    Dec 2 2025

    Josh Norris made his return to the Buffalo Sabres lineup against the Winnipeg Jets and put on a show with two goals and an assist, including a sick breakaway goal. Norris' return was a display of what the Sabres could be getting in their highest paid forward, IF he stays healthy going forward. The Zach Benson - Josh Norris - Tage Thompson line played exactly the way Lindy Ruff had been envisioning when he put them together in the preseason. Norris and Tage are the perfect partners for Benson on a line, making it less important that he has an ability to shoot the puck.

    Plus, a solid game from Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, another strong performance from Noah Ostlund, and Alex Tuch is putting up some great numbers, better than a lot of elite players in the NHL this season. How many points would you take on the Sabres upcoming road trip that begins in Philadelphia?

  • Josh Norris returning for the Buffalo Sabres may not be a great thing for their lineup
    Dec 1 2025

    The Buffalo Sabres are getting their #1 center, at least on paper, back into the lineup in time to play the Winnipeg Jets. Josh Norris has played just four games for the Sabres, but is stepping right into a big role at the top of the lineup as he comes back from injury. What Norris returning does though, is moves Tage Thompson back to the wing, which Sneaky Joe does not believe is his best position. Can Norris help the powerplay? Will he play penalty kill? Plus, what we saw from Noah Ostlund, Colten Ellis, and others in the win over the Minnesota Wild over the weekend. And the Sabres face a Connor Hellebuyck-less Jets team at home on Monday.

  • Nothing left for the Buffalo Sabres except firing the GM
    Nov 29 2025

    The Buffalo Sabres were embarrassed at home with Terry Pegula in attendance by a score of 5-0 to the New Jersey Devils. A sellout KeyBank Center crowd was left to chant to "sell the team" and "fire Adams" as the team was getting routed. Despite severely outshooting New Jersey and having the better of the chances, Jake Allen outplayed Alex Lyon by a lot and the Sabres couldn't get the goals they needed.

    There is simply nothing left to do with this team other than Kevyn Adams getting fired. Everyone is playing the waiting game until that happens. Could be weeks. Could be months. Could be years. Will Pegula finally make the right move? Plus, is Lyon now out of the rotation? Is Colten Ellis the next in line to start in goal? And Tage Thompson stands up for himself.

  • UPL costs the Buffalo Sabres another game in loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins
    Nov 27 2025

    The Buffalo Sabres went into Sidney Crosby's house and outplayed the Pittsburgh Penguins. However, thanks to another poor performance from Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, the Sabres lost the game. UPL getting himself out of control on a couple of different plays cost the Sabres two goals that they could not afford to give up. Sneaky Joe campaigns for this being the final straw for UPL's Sabres career. However, there is a trade rumor that implies Kevyn Adams is not thinking the same way.

    Plus, another great performance from the Jack Quinn - Ryan McLeod - Jason Zucker line, but a no show from the line of Josh Doan - Tage Thompson - Alex Tuch. And a quick look ahead to the New Jersey Devils, who lead the Metropolitan Division as they head to Buffalo for Friday night's game.

  • Buffalo Sabres have unique challenge with Sidney Crosby and the Penguins
    Nov 26 2025
    The Buffalo Sabres are looking to gain ground in the Eastern Conference and they're going to have to do it on the road, with 8 of their next 10 away from KeyBank Center. First up, a matchup with the Pittsburgh Penguins who are finding success this season behind a rejuvenated Evgeni Malkin and a still great Sidney Crosby.

    Sneaky Joe lays out why he believes if the Sabres simply avoid taking penalties, they should beat the Penguins. Also, why he likes Jack Quinn to find the scoresheet in this game. And does Alex Lyon have a future on this team, with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Colten Ellis getting almost every game over the last couple of weeks.
