Bill Hoppe | November 10th, 2009

Sabres waive Mair (updated)
Bill Hoppe | November 9th, 2009
Olean Times Herald reports: '“It’s a numbers thing,” Regier said this afternoon after the Sabres practiced at HSBC Arena. “Given where we are with Tim Kennedy making the team and Mike Grier (signing late), we’ve just got extra forwards, and he’s not playing. He’s in a contract year. It’s an opportunity for him to hopefully get a chance elsewhere.”'

Bill Hoppe | November 7th, 2009
Olean Times Herald reports: 'Kennedy, a converted winger, has struggled mightily on draws, winning just 41.9 percent through his first 12 games. The rookie’s improving, however, and he gives much of the credit to center Paul Gaustad, the NHL’s top faceoff man.'

Hammerin' Hecht battles to score [8:07 PM]

Mair remains in Buffalo [3:36 PM]
Sabres.com reports: '“It’s numbers, it’s a tough situation,” Ruff said. “We’ve made some decisions. We like the way [Tim] Kennedy has played, with Mike Grier coming in the right side and Pat Kaleta the way he’s played, it makes the decisions tough."'

Sabres place forward Mair on waivers [3:45 AM]
AP reports: 'If Mair isn’t claimed, the Sabres could either keep him or send him and his $775,000 salary to the Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League. Mair has played just three games this season, missing the first four after undergoing arthroscopic hip surgery.'

I'll just wait it out, and if I get claimed then I get an opportunity to go play somewhere, and if not I'll either stay here or go down and help Portland. I'd like to continue to help this team. If I can, that'd be great. This is where I want to be."'

Mair placed on waivers [5:09 PM]
Sabres.com reports: '“If you’re trying to make adjustments on your team, it’s one way to try and do it,” Regier said. “I’ve looked at the possibility of trading him, pretty much at the same time that we were dealing with the [Dan] Paille situation [Paille was traded to the Boston Bruins on Oct. 20 to avoid a potential log jam with Tyler Myers becoming a regular]. We’ve just got extra forwards. He’s not playing, he’s in a contract year and it’s an opportunity to hopefully get a chance elsewhere.”'

Buffalo News reports: '"The old me might have went irate and done something a little bit stranger," Ruff said after the Sabres lost to the Bruins, 4-2. "We've dealt with some sickness.

Bruins spoil debut of Sabres' Enroth [3:50 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'In fact, it would have been much too easy to blame the 21-year-old when the Sabres had so many other problems around him. Enroth was shaky at times Saturday night in a 4-2 loss to the Boston Bruins before 17,565 in TD Banknorth Garden, but he wasn't solely responsible for any of the four goals in a game littered with missed nets, poor communication and mistakes.'

No hard feelings from Paille [3:49 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"The one thing I can say is that I'm very fortunate to have gotten to move on as early as I did," Paille said Saturday before meeting up with his ex-mates. "I was willing to play out how everything was going to go and let the cards play, but I'm happy that it happened now. It's something that I'm grateful for."'

Hull's career-defining goal broke hearts in WNY [3:48 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'All these years later, Hull still finds himself explaining how the goal was rightfully his and the Cup was rightfully theirs. Don't blame him for the controversy, he says. Blame the league for not sharing an in-season rule change that allowed players to have their foot in the crease so long as they maintained control of the puck.'

Night of firsts for Buffalo’s Jhonas Enroth [3:47 AM]
Boston Herald reports: '“Of course, you never want the first one to go in,” said Enroth. “It was a tough start, but I think I came back pretty good. . . . I just tried to relax.”'

Boston 4, Buffalo 2 [3:44 AM]

Sabres Drop Second In A Row [3:43 AM]

Payback not for Paille [9:47 AM]

Sabres left behind in trying to step up [3:08 AM]
