One thing that should make this board happy: it's :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: vintage jersey night.... :worthy: :worthy: :worthy:

Welcome to the land of NHL Hockey every night. What a great concept, hockey when you want it. Provided of course you are not within the black out radius of a team.

My reference to controversy is that it would go against the pattern to date. If the pattern holds, then Biron will get the start tomorrow night against the NYR. Judging by how Miller does at home, a case could be made that the goalies should be switched this weekend. This is not an argument for the guy on the bench. It is a simple look at the cold, hard facts. Miller, for whatever reason, is a better road goalie so far this year. And better by a significant margin. If the pattern of back-to-back games wasn't there, then the suggestion would never have been made. Miller is a very good goalie who will probably be given a night off in the next two games. So why not consider the statistics and make tonight his night? That was all there was to question. I don't get the reference at all to why you think this is an affliction of being a Buffalo sports fan. While tonight is a division game and has more importance, why not set up to win both by playing the odds? Biron in goal doesn't mean you take it any less seriously or that it is any less important. In fact, giving him an important game at home might just strengthen his play. Ruff has made his call, so this is an academic exercise/discussion now only.

How about stirring up a little controversy? Replace Miller with Biron tonight. Why you ask? GAA home and away. Miller's is 1.72 on the road and 3.30 at home. Since he will most likely sit the next night anyway, why not give Biron a chance at home and start Miller against the NYR?

Thomas is still trying to figure out how it lost this game tonight. Bring on the Leafs...

Still better Carolina and Toronto lost tonight.... Let's go to the tally board 2 points on Carolina 2 points on Toronto 2 points on New Jersey 1 point on Boston 0 Points on Montreal Not bad for playing 9 minutes of the third period tonght....

Unbelievable Astonishing Incredible Nuts WOW!!! Good Scary Good even when Bad Scary Bad!!!!

Boston surprised Ottawa Saturday night beating them 2-1. This came on the heals of Ottawa smashing Toronto in two straight games. Ottawa had a 5-3 PP chance against Boston and couldn't cash in. Then Chara came back to haunt them scoring the game winner. I was reading the Ottawa site before the game and no one saw that coming. Boston should be dealt with, but not taken lightly.

Oh the irony... Kozlov beats the heros...

WHAT A GREAT GAME>>> THIS IS THE NEW NHL AND I LOVE IT..

Got to have a goal on this PP....

Great game.. This game has everything that the NYI game didn't...

This one is destined for a shoot out.. They are playing it close...

Don't know why, but I feel like it is time for Hecht to get one...

Boy did you call that.. we have owned this period..

Typical Sabres game so far. Period 2 is our period. We are getting our chances. Three posts so far. Nice stop by Miller on a break away...

So I take it you and Frank are close. <_<

This Atlanta team is hot. Considering they are in the middle of a road swing, they have managed to pick up points even when they weren't their best. They beat the Panthers solidly. They got behind in Carolina and lost in a shootout and then got behind in Philly and lost in a shoot out. Let's just give them an old fashion loss tonight. The zero points kind.

I don't think crossing seasons is valid in my mind. I keep hearing that. It is nice, but shouldn't count or matter. We lost a few games on the way to the ECF.

No.. I just saw a graphic that said the penguins had 17-0 streak regular season..

I've got my sights on a new record, 18-0; to set the all time most consecutive wins...

Hecht took a stick to the face. buf PP has looked bad tonight. Good thing they gave us a 5-3..

Tallinder back on the ice for the second. He looks fine.. WOW MAX WOW!!! 2-0

Tallinder didn't look serious to me.. I bet he's back..

Boy the first period of these games are not our best. Nice to have a 1-0 lead.
