Buffalo Sabres

The New York Islanders returned home early Friday morning from a physical - and some would say lucky - 4-3 overtime win in Winnipeg just hours earlier. They had just finished a brutal road trip through three time zones across Canada and despite a 5-1 record to that point on the trip, had clearly not played their best. Not to mention, Nick Leddy, Matt Martin and, as we would learn Saturday, Calvin de Haan, would all be banged up to varying degrees. Martin and Leddy would be well enough to return to practice on Saturday in preparation for a huge ‘four-point swing’ game against the rival New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden, an arena that, unbelievably, the Islanders had yet to visit this season but don’t mind at all. “It’s one of those games, almost like a home game when you come back. I think being in this building against a rival certainly helps the players get up for it after a long trip, but it’s also another game that we have to work on the things that we need to work on. We watched and showed the players some video of some of the hiccups we had on the road trip and hopefully, we can get back on track and play with some speed and pace” head coach Jack Capuano told us prior to yesterday’s late afternoon meeting with the rival New York Rangers. Message received, sir. The Islanders came out flying against the home team yesterday, who had no immediate answer, seeming almost surprised at the pace the visitors were employing. Johnny Boychuk, Brock Nelson and Kyle Okposo…

the year 1817, a manmade canal was built and changed the lives of many ordinary Americans. The Erie Canal is a canal that spreads from Albany to Buffalo New York and connects with the Great Lakes. The Canal gave residents the chance to start over and build up from what they have. I have had the opportunity to read The Artificial River by Carol Sheriff. In her book, she explained how the Erie Canal changed lives and how it help show progress in American history. Some topics that Sheriff used to…

Canal connected the Hudson River to the Great Lakes, therefore compressing space and time needed to travel to and from any of the cities and towns near the Canal. The network of canals which made up the Erie Canal was a successful system for the movement people as well as other goods. The Erie Canal changed the method of transportation in America as with the success of the canal, the cost of transportation dropped, which promoted more and more manufacturers and businesses as well as everyday…

since I browse and done a thorough research to get to know more about U.S education system. Being chosen as one of the lucky few Malaysians to study in the States by Public Service Deputy or known as Malaysia Government, it was time for me to make my choice of the university that I will spend four years in. State University of New York at Buffalo (UB) is definitely on my sponsor’s ‘recommended’ list, on top of the list, to be exact. There was something in me that said, “this is it”. And sure…

As a child, I dreamt of becoming a teacher. When we are young we have life goals that appear to be attainable at the time, but we never think of the obstacles and hardships we will face in order to achieve those goals. I am the first in my family to graduate college, so when it was time to apply for colleges I had no familial assistance. My college experience began at Medaille College in the fall of 2010. Medaille is a small, private, predominately white institution (PWI) in Buffalo, NY. In high…

When you think of a place that has great customer service and a great atmosphere. This is a place that I enjoy going to all the time, they have great people that work for them and make sure that you feel welcome. Buffalo Wild Wings were established in 1982 in Columbus, Ohio. They have around 3,000 employees that work for their company. Most of the employees that work for them really enjoy working for them they say that it is a fun environment to work in. I know that going to the Midwest to many…

The mere mention of martyrdom may arouse an array of reactions because of its association with killing, violence and/or death in everyone who is familiar with the practice; and although martyrdom is not limited to any person, religion, or society and often, we find ourselves faced with a moral dilemma. But at what cost, are we willing to sacrifice in order to be happy and/or to find what we consider true happiness? Many like to say true happiness is dependent upon various circumstances and/or…

gunfights, revenge, duels and Indians. The typical cowboy we think of is a rugged, tough looking man, dressed in a “cowboy” hat, a vest, leather chaps and boots with two revolvers holstered around his waist, always at the tips of his fingers. While these images, in part, reflect reality -- there were cowboys and bandits and Indian raids -- they are primarily based on popular culture, the movies, TV shows, books, and other forms of popular media that captured the imaginations of those interested…

shut down much of the nation's freight and passenger traffic near Michigan. The conflict began in Pullman, chicago, on May 11 when nearly 4,000 factory employees of the Pullman Company began a wildcat strike in response to recent reductions in wages. In Devil in the White City, there was a strike that broke out around the country on the railroads because George Pullman cut jobs and wages. This caused a lot of traffic. Some of the people didn’t even get to Chicago because they turned around…
