  • Buffalo Sabres Digital Press
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips October 28, 2017 Sabres searching for a consistent mental game The Buffalo News By Amy Moritz October 27, 2017 Among the things the Buffalo Sabres are searching for early this season, along with goals and better defense, is little bit of resiliency. On more than one occasion, Sabres coach Phil Housley has talked about the mental toughness of his team. Some days, they have it. Some days, they don't. And the ability to find consistency in resiliency can be the difference between a 5-4 overtime win in Boston and a 5-1 drubbing in Columbus. The resiliency and mental toughness the Sabres are searching for comes down to a simple sounding statement – stick to the game plan. But Buffalo has struggled to do that. The Sabres have made mistakes and given up goals only to see their play get tighter and too defensive. They've made mistakes and tried to press too much offensively, trying to create something outside of the game plan only to give up odd-man rushes and easy goals against. Housley talked about his team's mental toughness on Wednesday, after the Blue Jackets scored three goals in a three-minute span at the end of the second period to earn the win. "There's a lot of things that involve mental toughness – rebounding from a game or facing adversity," Housley said Friday after the Sabres practiced for Saturday's 1 p.m. game against the San Jose Sharks in KeyBank Center. "I think what I meant by that the last time we spoke was the discipline in our game.

  • Chicago Wolves Game Notes TUCSON at CHICAGO DECEMBER 16, 2018 3 P.M
    2018-19 Chicago Wolves Game Notes TUCSON AT CHICAGO DECEMBER 16, 2018 3 p.m. THE U TOO OWNING THE MIDDLE THIRD 2018-19 Every team wants to get their season off to a good start. And, of course, every team wants to finish TALE OF THE TAPE strong and head into the postseason on a roll. But what about the middle third of the schedule? Those REGULAR-SEASON SERIES games count just as much in the standings. 0-1-0-0 Tucson | 1-0-0-0 Chicago The Chicago Wolves opened the middle third of this year’s 76-game schedule with a 4-2 victory over the Tucson Roadrunners on Saturday night at Allstate Arena. That suggests this year’s team might be made of the same stuff as the last two Wolves squads that rode strong efforts in the middle third of the schedule to the Central Division title. Last season, Rocky Thompson’s Wolves posted a 17-5-2-1 record (.740) during Games 26-50 to vault 15-7-2-1 14-9-2-1 from last place to third in the Central Division. In 2016-17, Craig Berube’s Wolves earned a 15-7-1-2 record (.660) during the middle third of the season to climb from third to second.
