LGR4GM Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Any chance we win 2 in a row because Boston is sleep walking through this one? This is my 2nd favorite team to beat so I could be okay with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsixspd Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I always hope we win against Boston - but Enroth doesn't have very good stats against Boston. He only played one game against Boston so far this year, which isn't a very big pool of data but he gave up 3 goals and a loss. In 2011-12 in 4 games he started against Boston his GAA was 3.49 and only a 0.900 SVG% Miller, by contrast, in 2011-12 season - 3 games started against Boston, with a 1.45 GAA, and a 0.957 SVG% - AND Miller achieved a shut-out in one of those 3 games too! So the Tank may get a post-Olympic restart tonight. The Bruins seem to have figured out Enroth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsixspd Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 And Marchand is still a punk No argument here, that's for sure. I've noticed he really likes to run his mouth when standing behind Chara, like a yappy little Chihuahua barking from behind the safety of his owner's legs.

26CornerBlitz Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Did he get hurt last night? I didn't notice while watching. Missed a few shifts after going into the boards awkwardly. General Body Soreness is how Nolan described it. Ennis is Day to Day. @BNHarrington Nolan didn't commit to playing Konopka tonight but Konopka said he's in....I defer to the player on that one..Heh.. #Sabres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson's Flow Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Tyler Ennis out tonight per Nolan. Konopka is questionable. Cue the Ennis is being traded bandwagon... I actually think Ennis might be one of the players we could trade to get something really valuable while also being NHL ready. One of the guys I was thinking of in the "unexpected player" in the polls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think in a couple years if he does that Zadorov will beat him down... and Chara will just have to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I feel like Boston is about to come into buffalo and crush this team. Buffalo won last night but that also means they played last night. I could see something like 4-1 Boston with a few bumps and bruises on Buffalo's side.
