Need further proof that the Anchor Bar is the worst? They hung a "No Goal" photo at the Raleigh location which would require burning the place down to begin with but when you look closer you realize it's an AI picture of "No Goal" www.reddit.com/r/sabres/com...

Why the Sabres should prioritize a Zach Benson extension this summer and what that contract might look like New @TheAthletic:

oh man I can’t believe the Enhanced Games are actually happening lol. wow I wonder who would win between an insane person who has dedicated their entire adult life relentlessly training to become the most perfect athlete for their chosen sport and a guy who wanted to skip that part

oh my god a non-enhanced athlete just won another event: this time it's the 100-meter sprint with Tristan Evelyn winning with an 11.18 time. www.enhanced.com/newsroom/spr...

Hunter Armstrong, a non-juiced, "non-enhanced" athlete won the 50-meter backstroke at the Enhanced Games, beating two athletes who spent the last few months taking PEDs under stringent medical supervision. www.sfgate.com/sports/artic...

There is a great little reported detail at the end of this story by @bytimgraham.bsky.social that yells louder than any headline or hot take could. www.nytimes.com/athletic/729...

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid chose not to have knee surgery last offseason and was hobbled much of 2025. Kincaid chose not to have surgery again, but why does he think this time will be different? www.nytimes.com/athletic/729...

Inside a heartbreaking end to a storybook Sabres’ season “You just feel pain.” Why that pain shouldn’t overshadow what this team did to help put Buffalo back on the map as one of the league’s great hockey towns.

“Just because things really clicked and worked really well this year, doesn’t mean that it’s automatically just gonna happen again next year." The Sabres have a few big questions ahead if they want to sustain and build on what they did this season.

"For me, it’s make it or break it. You’re shit, you might not be here. Simple as that." Keon Coleman hears the criticism, but isn’t listening. www.nytimes.com/athletic/729...

The Sabres aren't in Boston anymore. They look overwhelmed by the Canadiens and Montreal. Can Lindy Ruff help them find their game? "They are a hell of a team. Don’t take them for granted. If we don’t realize it now, we’re never going to realize it.”

The Sabres have “Everybody ropes, everybody rides” rally towels for fans coming to Game 2. If you missed it, a story on how the Sabres arrived at that slogan and three others as their mantras

"There's an art to his madness." Zach Benson is more than just a rat or a meme machine. He's become one of Buffalo's smartest and most important players.

“There’s always going to be somebody that is going to poke their head through, and you’re going to say, ‘Man, I didn’t see that coming that this guy was going to score.’” Jordan Greenway was that guy for the Sabres in Game 1. And he did a lot more, too.

ICYMI, Column: John Sterling was a 1-of-1 original who lived and loved his job as Voice of the #Yankees every bit as much as it seemed. He touched countless lives & his legacy lives in every time someone exclaims: “THUUH Yankees win!!” Godspeed to a legend. nypost.com/2026/05/04/s...

The Buffalo Sabres will play the Montreal Canadiens in Round 2. Game 1 on Wednesday in Buffalo. This should be a hell of a series and quite the scene.

Montreal has been credited with 4 shots on goal with 21 minutes left to go. Should be only 3. The goal that bounced off of Tampa player has to be counted because it went in the net.

We can debate which second round matchup is better for the Sabres. But why I think Buffalo-Montreal would be better for the sport and its fans
