The NHL, and its referees, came under fire over the weekend, for a controversial call made in the NY Rangers - Buffalo Sabres game. You be the judge...who was right?
I laugh when people say that 'the Capital Region is a bad sports town.' Really? When people say that I sometimes feel that they are trying to find something wrong with everything. If you feel like I do, it's time to look at the facts. This is actually a pretty good sports 'town.'
Who is the Capital Region's most beloved sports team? I think we know but let's take a look anyhow. There are probably some major professional sports teams and leagues that we can toss immediately. The NHL is easy to toss. Besides the lack of general popularity, a direct result of Gary Bettman's reign as commissioner, the NHL fanbase in the Capital Region is too fractured.
Assuming that the former Buffalo Sabres' netminder is accurate in his claims, the NHL is going to have a lot of explaining to do, and a lot of changes to make.
The NHL Draft has come and gone, and while the end was marred by controversy, the beginning was marked by celebration. Owen Power has joined the Buffalo Sabres.
We've reached the final New York team in our NHL Expansion Draft predictions, the Buffalo Sabres. Naturally, we're saving the most curious case, for last.
