After One Full Year of Pegula's Ownership Sabres Are No Closer To A Stanley Cup

Staff — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:24:01 +0000

It was one year ago today that Terry Pegula was announced as the new owner of the Buffalo Sabres. I can remember how I felt when Terry uttered the words “starting today the sole purpose of the Buffalo Sabres is to win the Stanley Cup”. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. The Buffalo Sabres had finally [...]

Terry Pegula Shoots and Scores Again, This Time with Ville Leino

Joe Russo — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 21:18:14 +0000

He's no Brad Richards, but Ville Leino is another solid acquistion for the Buffalo Sabres, who made yet another move just one day into the free agent period. The signing leaves the Sabres about $5 million under the cap, so a move for Richards is unlikely unless the team sheds some salary. One could argue that the Sabres overpaid for the forward who's only scored 30 goals in the NHL and the player doesn't address the Sabres biggest need, a number one center. Leino is naturally a left winger.

Disappointing End to Sabres Season

It wasn't even close. The Buffalo Sabres folded when it meant the most, losing Game Seven 5-2 and adding a 40th year of heartbreak for the fans. You might say this series actually ended Sunday when the Sabres gave up two, two goal leads in Game Six. It had to be hard to have any confidence that you could beat the Flyers after leaving it all on the ice Easter Sunday and still losing.

Is This Guy For Real?

At the Sabres game on Tuesday, I saw an interesting sight on the Jumbotron – owner Terry Pegula and his right-hand man Ted Black sitting with the fans. In the 300 level. Say what? I couldn’t believe my eyes, to say the least. Sure, I had read Mr. Black’s correspondences with fans about the suggestions [...]

Dear Buffalo Sabres, To Win You Need To Score

Nicole Sabuda — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 13:00:15 +0000

At last nights game I nearly lost my voice hoping our cheers would give our beloved Sabres the confidence and drive to put the puck in the back of the net. Yet, it seemed like the louder we got the worse they became! What a frustrating game... Pick it up Sabres, you are our pride! When you lose we lose!

First of all, let's give some credit to Tom Golisano. Sure he pocketed nearly $100 milliion dollars since taking over the Sabres franchise, but he also saved it from being called the Hamilton Sabres. But if you're a Sabre fan you can't help but be excited by the official announcement today at noon, that Terry Pegula will be taking over the team.
