Yikes, we are getting down to the slim pickins if Jiri is playing... Drury, in my opinion, has lead this team ever since Briere went down...I was on him at the beginning of the season, but he has turned his game around 180 degrees... We can't afford to be without Briere and Drury for too long... Any time i hear it's a gr-gr-groin injury, i fear that like many, it could linger for a long time...

The good news is that if Drury sits out tonights game, he has almost a whole week to recover as the Sabres next game after tonight is not until next Thursday.

Agreed...the sabres have that cushion where they don't have to rush guys back... By the way, have you looked at the schedule in March and in to April...it's really insane - from March 7th to April 8th, they play one night, off the next, back to playing the following nite...four times during that stretch, they play back to back games... Rest up boys, after the Olympics, it's going to be crazy... Maybe it's a good idea to keep two strong goalies so we don't burn Miller out? Hmmm <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm <_< Every goaltender is different, some of them love to play every game..........Miller is young and needs the experience, but lets face it the Sabres are in a position with their netminders that a lot of teams would love to be in.........

inkman Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I wonder how Novotny will do if he dresses tonight. He did NOTHING until the Amerks were forced to play him, but to his credit he has stepped up his play. Here are his stats: linky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are his stats: linky 10 goals 17 assist this year in 35 games is a nice improvment. he is young - only 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Don Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Moot point By Eric Schmitz, BSI Staff: Contrary to what was reported yesterday by SabresInsider.com, Jiri Novotny probably won't be making his NHL debut tonight. As for Nathan Paetsch, the same can not be said. BSI has learned that due to an injury this morning, the Sabres have scratched plans to call up forward Jiri Novotny, and brought up defenseman Nathan Paetsch from Rochester to make his NHL debut tonight against New Jersey. Paetsch, 22, was picked up by the Sabres as a re-entry in the 7th round (202nd overall) in the 2003 draft, due to the fact he could not come to contract terms with Washington, who picked him in the 2nd round in 2001. In his 3rd season with the Rochester Americans, Paetsch currently leads the team in points. The Humboldt, Saskatchewan native has 5 goals and 26 assists in 37 games for the Amerks. Paetsch will wear #38 for Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
