[Ross Rhea]

Yep, sorry. half awake and half paying attention, and didn't have any coffee yet. My bad.

@BNHarrington

Leino said today was a good day on the ice for him but won't play tonight. Aiming for Tuesday. #Sabres

 

All I want to hear Leino saying is : "I'm no longer a Sabre" :w00t:

Nolan looking to have Konopka play on a line with Ellis and Scott. #Sabres

It's critical that we keep D'Agostini off the 4thest line.

I thought this team was composed of 4thest lines.... And AHLest lines

[qwksndmonster]

Lots of 4th lines but only one line can be 4thest.

DeBoer said Anton Volchenkov will play tonight and Cory Schneider will start. Eric Gelinas will be sent to Albany to make room for him.

Thanks. Also tweeted this:

 

@JoeYerdonPHT

McNabb will play. Sulzer out. Stafford hurt and won't play

 

01/04 – Zenon Konopka finally in Buffalo after long travel day, excited to make Sabres debut (Bill Hoppe – Olean Times Herald)

Oh... You and your semantics ;)

Sounds like the new number 1 line is ready to go

I like what he had to say about Girgs at the end there. We need more with that attitude. A real workhorse.

Yes, and after the game, they will complete the building of the Harbor Center. By hand.

[wjag]

Hey, they're all Ted Nolan kind of players. Why not. I'm sure they have mad cement skills to go along with their cement shooting skills too.

I was really hoping someone would make a cement hand joke to follow up on Eleven's post. Good work :thumbsup:

[inkman]

Wow, I REALLY can't believe I am going to this game with THAT lineup. I can't wait until we get to March so we can at least see some of the young gun tryouts for next year......

You mean Joel Armia? Not sure who else will be up.

[Huckleberry]

That and Grigorenko who can't be anywhere else.

 

but for tonight im looking forward to Scott scoring twice assisted by Konopka.

[sicknfla]

 

You mean Joel Armia? Not sure who else will be up.

 

That is the scary part.

[Huckleberry]

That is the scary part.

 

Not really none of the kids you want here are 20 yrs old yet, if they would be 26 and still not with us then it would be scary.

Most can't jump into the league without 1 - 3 years in the minors, we need patience and alot of it.

[JJFIVEOH]

Oh man, that is as ugly a lineup as we've had all season. One 2nd line, Two 4th lines, and an AHL line.

 

Our 2nd, 3rd and 4th line have 210 goals in 2001 games played.

[hockeyhound]

This might be a fun game tonight; Scott, Konopka, Ellis?

 

Wow, can you imagine Kaleta in that mix.

 

Crazy line up, however, maybe they can make it fun the rest of the season.

 

This reminds me of days of Mair, Ray, Barnaby, etc.

[sicknfla]

 

 

Our 2nd, 3rd and 4th line have 210 goals in 2001 games played.

 

Wow. That would be 1 goal every 10 games played. That is some serious firepower!! Pretty much sums it up.

[Nitro60]

From pre game interviews expect a defensive and low scoring game. Really guys? I thought the Sabres and Devils would be putting on a scoring clinic. This game will be a cure for insomnia. Hope the Sabres will win
