Kane tonight, no goals, -2 including giving up a shortie to Marco Scandela. Remember him? (It's his first goal of the year.)

Marco Scandela with a shortie for the Blues. Another minus for Kaner who is -2 for the night.

Well we could just pay him more.

I'm not saying ER is god's gift to hockey. I just find it humorous comparing people's initial reactions to the trade to how he's playing so far.

So that means it's too early to panic? Kevyn might still be wrong?

The team had reduced the turnovers and odd man rushes so our goalie, like Levi, only has to come up big a handful of times instead of all game.

The AFC East race just reopened.

Are you now?

Cut him now. It's over.

Shoot the damn puck

He gets scoring chances?

What does it say about the Habs fans? Can't be bothered to cross the border for a cheap seat? I bought a Bruins $95 ticket for $54 (pre-fees) Thursday.

Ugly loss. Dustin Tokarski no bueno. Guess who plays for the Checkers? Rasmus Asplund. Didn't we keep him over Will Borgen in the Kraken expansion draft?

It's game night! The Charlotte Checkers come to the BCA for a 7;05pm puck drop. Rochester is 11-6-2, third place in the North division.

If the Sabres can keep playing a complete game like last night, UPL and Levi could be the goalie tandem the rest of the way, barring injuries. I don't see the point of playing Comrie over Levi, or bringing in another middling vet goalie.

There were a surprising number of Sabres fans in attendance. On the subway ride back to my car, which was loaded with fans who were at the game, a family of Sabres fans, decked in blue and gold, were near me. The mood was subdued until the little boy, I'm guessing 5 years old, yells out "LETS GO BUF-A-LO!" breaking the silence. Everyone laughed. Even the Bruins fans.

Or this song, swapping the lyrics with "He didn't suck tonight...He didn't suck tonight...He didn't suck tonight...No suck...tonight....No suck...TONIGHT!"

He didn't suck tonight.

Can Comrie get sent down instead? Can Kev get a bag of pucks in a trade?

No underselling on my part. Levi was solid late. Maybe it was because he wasn't worn out from a shooting gallery and breakaway drill the first two periods. You need both. You won't last long with one being good and one being bad.

You know why Levi was so effective tonight? Because the Sabres played solid defense. It makes all the difference. Think about it. There wasn't a single breakaway or Bruin hanging out untouched by the crease tonight.

I'm glad I went. Almost didn't go. Only crappy thing that happened was I lost my subway fare card.

The fans are heading to the exits

Cozens needs to lay off the blind back passes.
