Remember when the southern swing meant at least 3 points? Tampa is swooning too, so you never know. Right?

Well this one should be about the most interesting regular season game since February 24, 2007. LETS GO BUFFALO!!!! Edit: yeah, I broke rules by starting this one 3 hours early... Sorry!

The Sabres will try to snap a three game losing streak when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night. Toronto enters the game with a 2-3-0 record, having dropped their previous two decisions to the Islanders and Rangers. Prior to Buffalo's losing streak, the Sabres gave Toronto their first loss of the season in the Leafs' home opener at Air Canada Centre. It was a 2-1 game that was largely decided by stellar play from Ryan Miller, who made 34 saves and maintained a shutout until the closing minutes of the contest. Lindy Ruff and co. are hopeful that Thomas Vanek will be able to go tonight for the Sabres after missing Sunday's contest with what was described as a "muscle injury." Vanek has been dominant so far thus season playing on the top line with Cody Hodgson and captain Jason Pominville, and his absence was sorely missed in their loss to the Washington Capitals. Meanwhile, the injury bug has already struck in Toronto. Joffrey Lupul, who scored 25 goals and 67 points for the Leafs last season, will miss at least 6 weeks with a broken forearm. Former Sabre Clarke MacArthur is also unlikely to play after slicing a finger against the Rangers. As of Monday night, no decision has been made on Mikhail Grigorenko, who has used up all five games of his "tryout." Playing another game with the Sabres would mean burning the first year of his entry-level contract with the Sabres. However, although Grigorenko is pointless in his first five games, he has received high praise from Lindy Ruff and hasn't looked out of place in the NHL. Toronto, on the other hand, is getting a little more production from their rookies in this young season. Forward Nazem Kadri is finally playing like the player the Leafs hoped they were getting when they drafted him 7th overall in 2009. He has 3 goals and 5 points in 5 games, including having scored the team's only goal in the previous meeting with Buffalo. Puck drops at 7PM EST. First game of the year for me. :beer: Let's go BUFFALO!!

Let's hope we can start to right the ship tonight. Even with as bad as we have played we are 2 points out of 7th and 3 points out of 6th. (I am not accounting for tie breakers or extra games this early, just the simple math) There's still a little hope in me so I'm pulling for another good performance by Vanek and Miller and maybe a few other players will show up for a change as well.

LETS GO BUFF-A-LO!!!
