http://thegoosesroost.com/ - Where procrastination and sports hang out
by Ryan
The uncanny uniformity of the Sabres’ schedule has its good and bad.
The stretch from Sunday to Wednesday can be trying, but the rhythm that November has created for the Sabres appears to be a positive. Last weekend was most certainly a positive, with two strong ...

When I was at the Sabres-Flyers game two weeks ago, my dad left kind of disappointed. It wasn’t about the result on the ice.
“They don’t do anything anymore during stoppages,” he said.
He was right. The Sabres have really toned down their ...

by Ryan On Tuesday afternoon Western New York let
out a brief cry of jubilation: Dick Jauron was
no longer head coach of the Buffalo Bills. I, however, was a little less enthused. In fact, my exact words were something to the effect of “ ...

By Chris So Dick Jauron is finally out. Bills fans
can celebrate that. The castration has been a long
time coming. Let’s face it, this season is lost. Firing Jauron gives the franchise the opportunity to start over ...

Unexpected Holiday

One of the best parts about the HSBC Arena press box are the photos. Perhaps if I was in it for an event demanded more than weak coke and stale popcorn it would be the food, but for me it is the pictures of great moments in Sabres history.
This year there looks to be quite ...

days after I’m in the press box watching Tyler
Ennis as a Portland Pirate he scores his first goal as a Buffalo Sabre. It took a lot of things for it to happen: ...

From Timmy to Tyler

Every year there seems to be one commercial that captures the hearts and minds of the viewing public. Perhaps the best example of this in the post-lockout era is the Labatt Blue Fish commercial, which ran for almost a full two years in all its fish-talking glory.
This ...

Remember this guy?
The last time we really talked about Maxim Afinogenov, it sounded something like this
Afinogenov’s time in Buffalo had been rocky and the end of the line is clear, but his time in the NHL might not be over just yet. I wouldn’t be shocked if he ...

Yup, that looks about right.

by Ryan F$%k it, I’m checking down. The Bills are
back, and so is Trent Edwards. Considering this is
his second concussion in as many years, expectations have to be low today. Who knows what we will see out of him, and who ...

Gameday Prep: Bills vs. Titans
by Ryan
This is what we wanted to see.
It’s hard to say much more than that, really. After what felt like a soft month of October, Buffalo faced their first big test in the month of November and fell flat on their faces. A loss at home to Philadelphia and an embarrassing ...

The last time Buffalo played Calgary they were on the left coast. The Sabres were coming off a 10-2 rout of Edmonton, but just couldn’t cut it at the Saddledome. The Flames pulled away in the third with a tough effort, and Buffalo lost 5-2. This time the schedule looks ...

The first time the Portland Pirates came to Buffalo they sure put on a show. It wasn’t the offensive explosion fans were expecting, but a fight-filled contest with the Albany River Rats with a last-second goal was enough to send HSBC Arena crowd of 11,114 home happy despite ...

I’m not going to lie, I’m almost afraid to say it. I’ve been trying to hold off on this for some time now, but I can no longer deny the truth, no matter what the consequence: Tim Connolly is having a good season.
It’s only 14 games. It’s ...

After watching it on the replay I still think the same thing I thought in the seats tonight: it was an accident.
MacArthur is never a guy who is overly physical, and he doesn’t have much of a mean streak. I doubt Reddox did anything worth retaliating for, and ...
