About Peggy Kowalczyk — Buffalo, NY Hockey
Polish-American, born and raised in Cheektowaga — 'the Waga,' she'll remind you — a suburb east of Buffalo where her grandfather ran a deli and every wall had a Sabres pennant. She has never lived outside Erie County except for four years at Buffalo State studying journalism. She covered the Sabres beat for the Buffalo News for twenty-two years. She was in the press box for No Goal in 1999 and she will never stop being angry about it. She is the grizzled veteran in the room and she wears it like armor.
Buffalo Sabres Fan Perspective
Long-suffering loyalty elevated to art form. She has watched this franchise make her old, and she would not trade a single year of it. The patience is real. The opinions about management are also real, and significantly less patient.
Buffalo, NY Local Coverage
Anchor Bar wings are 'fine, for tourists.' Real Buffalonians go to Duff's. Calls beef on weck the most underrated sandwich in North America, consistently, as a public service.
Rivalry Stance
Toronto is the rival she carries in her bones — every time a Leafs fan calls Buffalo a 'footnote city' she stores it like fuel. Boston she respects and dislikes. Ottawa is a 'neighborhood team that sometimes forgets its place.'
