spndnchz Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Sabres at Capitals 4-2-2011 7:00 start Washington has won two of three against Buffalo this season. The two clubs split games five days apart in November, while the Capitals prevailed in Buffalo in the most recent meeting in late February. The Sabres are trying to hold onto one of the final playoff spots in the Eastern Conference while the Capitals are vying for the top spot in the East, but both teams are dealing with injuries to key players.

ROC Sabres Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 This is a "MUST GET POINT(S)" game. Washington hurt badly on their back end so hopefully we can exploit that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LET"S GO BUFFALO Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 NHL Network Only tonight? can this be possible or is this just BS and does anyone in Albany know where I can go where people even watch hockey let alone the sabres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Dudley Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yeah finally a hockey game on I want to watch. Not forced to get my hockey fix watching other teams although Devils Flyers was a good game last night. We have played Caps tough in previous games. Could we be looking at a preview of our first round matchup? I am hoping a little practice time with these combos comes through with a big game. Let's go Buff'a'lo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 As I've said before, "Washington, Schmwashington." Yawn. Pussycat that wears red to trick its prey into thinking it's badass, with an embellishing phony-throated carnival barker adding to the tomfoolery. 4-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROC Sabres Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 So...both Washington and Buffalo have sore a$$es? :blink: I know Lalime does. Hopefully the lines aren't mixed and matched again. I gotta say, really don't like special Neids with Boyes and Staff. Put Ennis back on that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROC Sabres Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 So are the Sabres.. Any points today will be huge. I really wasn't including Miller in this so I can see the argument there but we only have Leopold out on D and they have Erskine, Green, Wideman and Poti out. And as an added bonus, Nylander is out at Center too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpandean Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 By Sunday evening, the Sabres will be somewhere between "clinched a playoff berth" (win both, Carolina loses both, then they sit 7 ahead with three to go) or "outside looking in" (lose both, Carolina wins both, then they are 1 behind with three to go.) Winning tonight would guarantee that they are still holding on to a playoff spot after the weekend. Anything less and the nerves will be severely tested. Three spots, four teams, five (or less) games to go; who wants it more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LET"S GO BUFFALO Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Buffalo is going to want it more tonight...I watched OV in the game he played against Carolina last week he was not on the mark with his shots...his stick handling and puck work seemed to be back to its usual mastery but his shooting was certianly off...Enroth seems to have a quiet confidence about him as he gets more playing time...I feel he is up for the challenge...I think this is going to be based on how our offense plays more then our D and goaltending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin Norman Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I was palnning to watch this game stress free. Now you've gone and ruined that idea. <_< Well, now we'll see if we have people who can score in big situations. In the tight games. We've been a better road team this year, go figure. So my heart goes out into full public view again, hoping for a BIG win. And, I will repeat this to my last breath: I hope Carolina misses the playoffs because I hate those bastards and always will! GO SABRES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROC Sabres Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Sounds like this is the preview of the Calder Cup match-up. You think that's bad, Islanders have 15 players listed on the injury report. NHL Injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as an added bonus, Nylander is out at Center too. Does Nylander even play anymore? :blink: Anyway, can't wait for the game tonight. Big stepping stone for Enroth. IIRC this will be his first time playing two straight, let alone three straight, games in the NHL, right? Guess we'll find out what we really have with Enroth. Kind of sucks it has to come in such a pivotal time of the year -- despite how well he's played, there's still the chance he gets blown out by Washington's offense and Carolina's speed. Those would be some tough losses. There's also the chance he shuts out Washington and Carolina then pulls a Halak and carries us deep into the playoffs. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on the Amerks apparently but had a severe neck injury and they had to fuse his spine. I didn't realize that his injury was last updated about 5 months ago.

JujuFish Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Big games. Sweeping this weekend in regulation would bring the magic number down to at least 1 regardless of what happens in other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
