How many times have the Sabres played in Winnipeg with a 7pm EST start time?  I feel like these games are always 8-9 oclock.

How many times has the Sabres home start against the Jets (7:30 pm a few days ago) been later than the game in Winnipeg in a single season?

Looks about the right time to win one and get back to NHL .500 and out of last place in the East for a day.

My spider sense tells me the Jets are going to absolutely annihilate the Sabres tonight after the beating they took on Monday.

The Jets will probably be thinking of the 5-1 drubbing we gave them a few days ago.  Expect them to come out fast.  

The Sabres have played 1/3 of their games for the season and are in last place in their conference.  They have now dropped to 7 points behind the wildcard teams.  

If the are going to be involved in the race they need 4 wins out of this 6 game road trip, which now means 4 out of the next 5.  

Another UPL vs Comrie match up is expected.

I'm thinking the same thing.  I hope you and I are wrong.

500 or under .500

That's how I feel. Especially in their barn

This is a good game for the Sabres. So rarely does a team want (and need, in the standings) to avenge a loss against the Sabres. The Jets had a closed-door meeting because they were embarrassed by the Sabres on Monday. They will play the first period at playoff intensity.

I look forward to seeing how the Sabres respond. Historically, these past 14 years, when a team has increased their intensity --- Florida and Boston have had a gear the Sabres could not match --- the Sabres have wilted.

You want to make the playoffs, you don't wilt. Doan, Zucker, and Benson need to show leadership and drag the high-priced guys into it. And whichever goalie is in needs to make 2-3 big saves tonight.

Tonight's game will be interesting.

Expecting UPL to get the start.  Which will only be his 4th game on the road and only his 3rd start on the road.  Both of the road starts, his SV% was well south of 0.850.  In the Avs game, he only gave up 3 on 30 shots.

Overall, he's 4-1-0 at home and 0-2-1 on the road.

The Sabres as a whole tend not to play well on the road (well, no Schlitz, Sherlock).  And just as they've fared slightly better at home with him bettween the pipes vs the outcomes with other 2 goalies, they've fared slightly worse on the road with him between the pipes vs the other 2 goalies.  This is a game that will go a long way towards either showing the people that believe he is the best of the 3 (some even saying CLEARLY the best) are right or that those that believe he's at best in the mix with the other 2 and likely worse than either are right.

Hoping for his and our sakes that those that believe he IS good (and not just that he may be good in the proper circumstances) are the ones that are correct.

And if they shy away from giving him the start, that could be telling in itself as well.
