And Brennan also sits - both in plane seats heading in opposite directions.

Not sure how this team responds with the key losses of 25 and 33.

Kind of hard to sit after the salad shooter he took.....

On one hand, I hate mediocrity, so if the team is going to suck, it should suck all the way and get a top 3 draft pick.  On the other hand, I just can't bring myself to cheer for the team to lose.

Let's go, Buffalo!

Root for them to lose 7-6 every game, this way it's entertaining

[wjag]

This is a win.. chalk it up... take it to the bank...  Sabres paste them 4-1 with a continued Foligno resurrgence

Yep just two more young guys gone to ensure the dead weight less competition for their jobs. (As if there were any to begin with)

[Sbre zeke]

No Karlsson, Anderson, Michalek and Spezza. Beat 'em like a Zulu war drum.

[Rayzer32]

I am very curious to see how silly Ville looks today. I'm sure he will be a little rusty and it may take him a few games to get himself up to full speed.

I like the Sabres today 4-2 with maybe a Scott/Neil tussle if Scott plays. I believe he was scratched last game against the Sens.

[thesportsbuff]

Could use a big uplifting win for my birthday. Get 'er done Sabres!!

Good call. Especially against Ottawa. Would love to see Scott knock out Chris Neil. That would be a highlight for me.

Let's go Buffalo

Same here! I know a loss could benefit the Sabres, but I'm excited about watching the Sabres play tonight and will be happy if they manage to score some goals and win. Just can't root for Buffalo to lose...ever.

[SwampD]

This will be the first game after the arbitrary date I set, where I thought the team would start to be more Rolston than Ruff.

Has Alfredsson ever not scored on us? Stop him, ignore Neil, and we win.

[bunomatic]

Scott- Matt Kassian ? This seems to be more the match-up then Scott-Neil.

As always, GO SABRES !

[wyldnwoody44]

Haven't had much time recently, but I think I'll be able to catch this game.

Here s hoping to good beer and good hockey

Going to a St. Patty's party tonight so no idea if they'll have the game on. But i can't say that bothers me much.

Yup.  And after their fight Scott will be nailed to the bench and Neil will run roughshod.

That's right ... 4:00 PM here.

So our friend from the dark side will have no excuse not to suffer through another Sabre game.

Either that, or he will have to come up with another excuse ... any excuse ...

I actually have a good feeling about this one.  A big win coming up, I just feel it.

I had no idea it was an afternoon game. Guess I'll be listening to it on the radio afterall!

[CallawaySabres]

Taking the kids and the sitter shows up at 7:30, hmmmmmmm, hmmmmmmm Danny Boy?

[SwampD]

I love the fact that if someone was so inclined (and I just might be), they could watch almost 12 hours of uninterrupted, live hockey today.

Yes, just remembered Ottawa traded for him. He's definitely a better match-up with Scott, but Neil will take on anyone as well.

[skaught]

Well, if we can stay off the powerplay I think we have a shot.

Go Sabres!

[sabres4life19]

I dont need to see john scott, i need to see a blow out win. Even if the season is lost, its about time we see one.

[Potato]

Ville will score today... I sense it...

I am excited to see a fresh vet player with offensive ability.

[TheMatrix31]

Hopefully Leino brings something we need. Dude needs to do a LOT to redeem himself after last year's worthlessness.

Last year and half...

I benched Foligno for the first time all season last game and he scored two goals.

Today I'm benching Myers. My guess is Myers scores today.

Agreed. My expectations are high for him.

[Potato]

Vanek-Hodgson-Pommer
Ott-Ennis-Leino
Foligno-Porter-Flynn
Gerbe-Hecht-Stafford

Interesting set of lines.  First time in a while that we can legitimately roll 4, I think.

[Rayzer32]

Not a very physical lineup for Buffalo today. Hopefully Ottawa keeps is clean.

[87168]

Very close.

[TheMatrix31]

Dayum. Leino's insertion almost pays off immediately.

[wjag]

The line of Leino, Ott and Ennis is going to have a good day today.

[87168]

nice.

[Rayzer32]

Weber!!!
