In case anybody was wondering Matt Moulson is 11-26-37 in 40 games for the Ontario (CA) Reign of the AHL.

Or did everybody forget about him ??
 
Not a big Fuhr fan, but he definitely had the coolest mask in Sabres history.

I know this might be hard to believe, but once upon a time, the Buffalo Sabres were fun.

Taro Tsujimoto, taken by the Sabres in the 11th round of the 1974 draft, wasn't real. Imagined from whole cloth, he was a silent protest of an interminable draft process, a supposed unknown Japanese player, and neither the media nor the NHL itself had the means to check whether he actually existed.

The original idea was GM Punch Imlach's, but it fell upon Buffalo PR director Paul Wieland to give Tsujimoto life. Today at Sports on Earth, Alan Siegel catches up with the puckish Wieland, something like the Bill Veeck of his sport. It was Wieland who snuck into the visiting locker room to measure Ken Dryden's pads, so the Sabres could alert the referees and garner a power play. It was Wieland who sent out annual April Fools' Day press releases, including one in which he announced the Sabres would replace their ice with a mysterious artificial surface called "Sliderex," and another that featured a fake letter from Ronald Reagan declaring the Sabres "America's Team."
