Finally, Game Day! The Panthers haven't been a good road team this year. If this was in Florida, I would lean towards the Panthers. Fortunately it is in Buffalo. On paper, this is a team we should handle.

According to my local Rag, aka the Baltimore Sun, Jagr appeared to have re-injured his shoulder last night. He was on the bench for more than a normal portion of the OT. He is playing it down. Last three games have been brutual on the health of this team.. Hecht, puck to the face/teeth/mouth Afinogenov out with a separated shoulder Drury jammed finger Paetsch puck to face/teeth/mouth who'd I miss?

Tonight's game was everything last night's wasn't. At even strength, the Sabres were better than the Rangers. We played in the penalty box most of the second. In fact, the second belonged to the Rangers; we were fortunate to get a goal when we went on the PP. Rangers went ahead 3-1. Sabres worked it back to 3-2 and tied it 3-3 in the third and won it late in OT... Lots of players were bleeding tonight for both teams. Pucks and sticks in the face. EDIT: Oh.. I just re-read it.. You meant the Leafs. They completely dominated us. They were physical and had countless odd man rushes. It was by far our worst game in a long time.

I agreed with you on Lydman.. He has had a major gaff in every game. The kids are playing better than he is at the moment. Campbell crushed Neiderlander in the crease. It was a decleater in the NFL... And no penalty. Seemed like the Rangers played the whole second period on the powerplay. Amazing they didn't blow us off the ice. GREAT WIN... Leafs played us so overwhelmingly that some doubt was creeping in. Add to that key injuries and another game within 16 hours and this seemed like a totally lost weekend. Danny Briere showed up tonight.... Just like a Captain should.

Campbell leveled Nedermeyer.. Another Buffalo penalty.. That's 4 for them and none for us... Tired legs...

Game is getting away from us. STUPID PENALTIES... Come on 5-3 for 2 Minutes give me a break...

Lindy must have harangued them all the way to NY. Night and day difference. Of course, the Leafs checked the heck out of the Sabres last night and so far, the Rangers aren't.

Much better start tonight.. Vanek scoooores.. Passing looks better Paille great chance and Mair hits the post on a breakaway....

I like: Gaustad Drury and Kotalik Vanek Roy Pominville Hecht Briere Novo Everyone else who is left

The BILLS WON a football game.. They may very well have saved the sports weekend for us...

Hearing Na, Na, Na .. in your own building is sad. It's pretty loud too...

Man Briere just got leveled in front of the goal and no call... This has been the worst passing game in some time. I can't remember a good passing sequence in this game for the Sabres.

Now that one did look like a dive by Vanek.. Boy we can't buy a goal tonight..

This game is beyond ridiculous. How do we give up a shorthanded rush when we are 5-3?? We need to burn this game film...

That is the worst second period they have played since the ECF last year. Yikes.. The Leaks totally dominated the Sabres.

If we are going to come back tonight, we need this PP goal NOW

When are we going to play in the offensive zone???

Buffalo injuries are mounting.. Drury finger Afinogenov OUT with upper body injury Tucker got blindsighted by Mair... 4 minute penalty... Not good This has been a pretty physical game..

There is no doubt in my mind that this guy has Vodka in his water cup...

Well let's hope that we storm them in the 2nd. That first period started out okay, but the Leafs owned the last half.

Wow did we get lucky. Awful turn over. How did Toronto NOT SCORE!!! Oh replay just showed that Lydman blocked it...

I think the official term is upper body injury

CBC reports Spacek is back from locker room and is on the bench

Hecht... Scooooore :worthy: Spacek down on the ice... Hello Rochester...l Hang up the phone... Spacek back

1st Round -- Carolina (want their season to end early) 2nd Round -- Thrashers (would be a wild series) 3rd Round -- Anaheim (top two) 4th Round -- Dallas (no need to explain) That would be tough, wild and would excise some demons
