He just played in his 500th career NHL game, all with the Sabres, and led Buffalo to a 2-1 shootout win in their season finale on home ice. He was named the 1st star. Very good chance he’ll get moved in the offseason and if it happens, thanks for all the memories, Ryan.
I’ve never sat this close at a Sabres game before, so this was a new experience. We scored once per period. I was on the side Buffalo shot twice, so I was lucky enough to see two goals right in front of me. Here are all three.
Cody Hodgson scored our first goal. Thomas Vanek scored our second. Steve Ott scored our third.
Sadly, we did lose the game though 4-3. But fun experience. Photos can be found here.
This was my first ever NHL game in Montreal. It was everything I imagined and beyond, and I was grateful the game was on a Saturday (I would grow up watching Hockey Night in Canada) and against my hometown Buffalo Sabres. The Canadiens beat the Sabres handily, 6-1, but it was still an amazing experience. Great energy and passion in this arena.
Happy 75th birthday, Grandpa!!
Drew this Sabres logo on the train yesterday with Paper for iPad.
Buffalo pulls off a dramatic come-from-behind 6-5 win vs. Leafs in overtime. Trailed 3-0 early in this one and 5-3 in the third. Their playoff hopes are still alive, tied with Washington with 2 games left (Caps have tiebreaker though).

Cody Hodgson is a BUFFALO SABRE! Nice move, Darcy.
Just finished playing the most amazing game of NHL 12 against someone online. I won 7-6 in regulation after trailing basically the whole game including 6-4 late in the third period.
The craziest part: Trailing a goal with less than a minute to play, I pulled my goalie. I (Buffalo, of course) made three big defensive plays to prevent Detroit from clearing the puck down the ice, and was able to keep pressure on. And on an awesome deke, Derek Roy tied it with just 14 seconds left! But what happened next was insane. I won the faceoff, two quick passes, went hard to the net and scored AGAIN with just 8 seconds left. That’s right - two goals 6 seconds apart. I’ve never seen two goals in the final 14 seconds of a game but there it is and the other guy had to be going nuts, he had the game won.
This was fantastic. And yeah, it inspired me to start this new Tumblr.
