3-0 ... Pommer from Briere ... don't let up boys!

The hockey Gods strike again ... Campbell gets a penalty for TRYING to hook Higgins (he was beaten so bad he missed) ... but Drury scores a shortie ...

Wow I need a replay, I thought Tallinder played that pretty well ...

If the Sabres play just .500 hockey the rest of the way ... they finish with 90 points :)

Vanek just BUSTED HIS ASS to get back and break up a 3-on-2 and then intercepted another pass in the same sequence ... very nice. He is one of the few who seems to have his legs. They better get some rest tomorrow, 3rd in 4 nights at Montreal will not be so easy.

The bruins have officially quit ... 4th line just bottled them up for over a minute.

I think I just heard some brave Buffalo souls start a 1-2-3-4-5-6 we want 7! chant ...

Better period for sure, but they definitely look a bit tired after playing last night ... lots of loose pucks they are a step late to ... but they are gutting it out.

Man, the Sabres still look like crap in their own end ... again, nice to have a lead in a game like this.

NEXT! Have a seat, Hannu ....

DUMB penalty by Chara ... and the Sabres make him pay.

I don't care if they are up 2-1, that was the worst period they have played all season. Nice to play like crap and still be ahead ... that never used to happen.

Nice work by Kotalik to chase that in and jump on the loose puck for the goal ... maybe that will wake him up, he didn't even look happy ... maybe ticked at getting benched ...

Just not looking real crisp tonight ... we'll see if they get their legs like they have in most games.

Is it game time yet? college football ain't cutting it today, it's dragging.

I love it ... first of all, glad he is healthy, but I love that despite the success he is showing them they will still be held accountable.

Wow watching the ANA-MIN game and they just said the Sabres are the first team to start 7-0 since '94-95 ... Wild can match it (but down 2-1) ... I know there were ties in there for many years and I'm sure there were teams unbeaten through 7 games, but still surprising it has been that long.

I don't blame him either, it's just weird it keeps happening to a lot of these guys.

McKee is falling victim to the Curse of Nate Odomes ... free agents leave buffalo and suffer crazy injuries ... Odomes was the first FA to leave the Bills, and he blew his knee out before ever playing for Seattle. House Ballard left and also had his career ended by injury. Jonas jennings can't stay helthy, but then he was that way here too ... Zhitnik missed 23 games last season ... (Miro played all 82 but then he is the prince of darkness, the curse is only so strong)

It wasn't the prettiest one of the year but there's not a picture of it in the standings ... is this fun or what?

cmon guys, can't stop against this team.

Wow is that line on fire ...

Nice, made them pay ... now finish it boys! 6 minutes of solid hockey ...

C'mon, not like the Sabres are playing a great game here ... they are getting about what they deserve.

OK I gotta say this ... I'm glad the Sabres have let the ECF go more that some of you guys .... stop torturing yourselves ... new season, enjoy it.
