Both goalies look great. Nice breakaway save by Miller.

Pyatt is having another strong game.

Damn Montreal came out hard.

Rory was in the lineup against Philly and Ottawa too. I think it is going to be a low scoring game either way. 1 could be enough for either team tonight.

I disagree. I think if it goes to OT, the Sabres are going to win. Miller has been at his best in high pressure situations this year...Breakaways, overtimes, shootouts. I expect that to continue if the game goes into OT tonight. If Biron is in net, then I could see an OT loss...

What's the source on that? All of us with fantasy hockey teams would appreciate it!

Good question. If Biron is getting a start before the break, it's tonight.

I was just thinking the same thing! They could even change the rule for the skills competition.

Well for starters there hasn't been an NHL All Star Skills Competition since 2004. But if you don't believe Dave's quotation of the rule...Look for yourself: http://www.nhl.com/rules/rule30.html

Yep, can't score on a rebound, remember all the controversey about when Roenick did earlier in the year? I think they allow video replay on shootouts now because of it.

Looks like we're starting off the third on the PK.

I dunno, but that could come back to bite us.

Wow, Ottawa really came on strong after that one, but looks like we slowed em down a bit last shift.

Ugh...Miller didn't even see it.

Nice point, but I'd like to hope that we are a little more definsively sound than Pittsburgh.

Yeah, the one shot on the faceoff really stood out. Looks like he didn't see the shot at all, but was positioned good so it didn't matter.

Feels nice to go into the first break up against them!

They look good so far. Good forechecking, good backchecking. Would like to see some more shots actually get through...But all in all I'm glad to see that they're actually skating with Ottawa.

It will be huge if we score first tonight. Knock em back on their heels and don't let up.

Miller's not old enough to be President.

Let's worry about beating Ottawa first.

Philly has put a little pressure on in the last 5 minutes or so, but for the most part it's been all Buffalo.

Nice goal by Campbell!

If they keep putting pressure on like that they are going to get a lot more rubber past Esche.

Other than Philly's goal, I have no complaints.
