OK. 3 more and they're at "official" .500; 4 more and they're at the much more meaningful DeLuca .500. I'm pleased to say that I'll be having a huge steak dinner on Sunday evening and then attending the game. Wearing my Miller jersey. My first GDT of this year, and of the Rolston era. Go Sabres.

Sabres are four points out of eighth place. Big game tonight.

Something something future is now mumble mumble. More adversity. Can they rise to the occasion? Go Sabres!

Game 2 with Jack back. Can the Sabres sustain the intensity of the first period last game? Can they tighten up the back end? Is this truly Jack's team? We find out the answers to these questions, and more, tonight.

I don't think I've ever started a GDT. Wildcard didn't ask me to, he's got visions of figures, words, and diagrams dancing in his head for mid-terms. And not even good figures or diagrams. Buffalo comes home after a mildly chippy shoot-out win against the Marlies last night, looking to give the Rangers fits and cause Henrick to flip his net for some reason. http://sabres.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/preview?id=2015020993 Odds are Lehner is in net for the back-to-back. Whether the Rangers will go Swede for Swede remains to be saw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdGA8wXWPd0
