It's a game night in Ottawa as the Sabres will play the Senators tonight. Faceoff is at 7:30 p.m. with the Buick Game Night pregame show going on the air at 7 on MSG. After the game, the NHL goes on holiday break. Buffalo's next game will be Friday at home against the Boston Bruins. The Sabres have gone 11-3-3 in their last 17 games against the Senators. The home team has won each of the five meetings between these teams since the beginning of last season.

I’ll be impressed when he can spin like Skinner AND throw a shot on net in one fluid move

Responsible. Smart. Simple. Like a vet.

And that would be fine with me. Slow cook him in Rochester for the next 17-18 months. See what comes out the other side...

Quiet 2 point night for Reinhart. Very nice. Be nice to see Reinhart and Skinner bury a few when they get chances.

So the hit on Lewis in the first period... from my perspective I couldn’t see the hit. Who hit him and what kind of injury do you think it was? They didn’t replay the hit at the game here. Any video clip of the hit?

Meh ... don’t be too discouraged. He just turned 21. He has too much talent to be a NHL bust. Hell, even though it’s not what he projected to be ... if Casey tops out as a solid 3rd liner in the NHL and plays spot duty on the 2nd line, for me, that’s a success story nonetheless. Again, not ideal, not what he was projected to be when drafted. That’s not a bust to me. Anyone who plays (has a career) in the NHL isn’t a bust to me. I just have a different mindset than the ZOMG he’s a top 10 pick, he must play on the top line!!!!

The wife and I will be going to this afternoon barn burner. Gonna try out Rachel’s for lunch before the game. Hopefully lunch isn’t the highlight ... Optimistic prediction 3-2 Sabres Joker, Rinehart, or Skinner with a goal. Ready for a Buffalo sports doubleheader? The Sabres face the Los Angeles Kings this afternoon at KeyBank Center. And then the Buffalo Bills take on the New England Patriots on the road. Faceoff for the Sabres is at 1 p.m. on MSG and 930 WBEN. Tickets are on sale now. Catch the GMC Game Night pregame show at 12:30 on MSG. Jack Eichel and Evan Rodrgiues are game-time decisions as they are both recovering from injuries. This is the second of two meetings between the Sabres and Kings this season. Last meeting: Buffalo defeated Los Angeles 3-0 in Los Angeles on Oct. 17 The Sabres are 6-4-0 in their last 10 games vs. the Kings; 9-1-0 at home. This is the 127th game all-time between Buffalo and Los Angeles; Buffalo has a 62-45-19 series record. The Sabres are 36-17-9 at home against the Kings all-time.

Ooo ah ... Sabres on the warpath!

I dare RK to keep Hutton in for the 3rd.... a nice fat 8-1 loss would be fitting

Ok. All good. ??

Are you trying to say the team are a bunch of pus ... err cats?

And yet, in a sick way ... needed.

Happy Birthday Hutton! Here’s your gift ... a loss.

Oh he was soooo one trick pony.

Your thought was right. The team it applies to is .... ?

Keep passing into the flyers legs ya bozos

I’ve watched every game, and attended 3 so far this season... yes, they “play hard” for RK. Play hard doesn’t automatically equal “win games”. At least in my opinion they play hard. Others think all losses equal “didn't play hard”. All wins equal “played hard”.

That’s exactly who I want to see step up....

There’s a reason Philly has a perfect home record....

Something something ... Sheary is a stupidhead something something
