Corp000085 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 8pm Never too early to discuss tomorrow's game. At the writing of this post, i don't know the status of lydman, but spacek will play tomorrow. That's 6 healthy defensemen. Hope lydman can go, but we'll see... Conklin played great, which should challenge miller to regain his mojo. 3 out of 4 points on this road trip with another 2 points for the taking tomorrow night. Had the sabres not turned in on in the 3rd period tonight, i wouldn't have much faith tomorrow... Since they ended up whooping up on florida tonight, i expect them to whoop it up on the northern florida team tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 TB is gonna be a stronger opponent than the panthers were though, so I expect this game to be closer and buffalo is gonna have to work harder. not to gain the lead, but to defend miller. we cant allow another 40+ shot game. although our blocked shots numbers were up, maybe Ruff gave em a talking to about getting in front of those shots.

dusty west Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 tampa bay may have the best first line in hockey.(st louis and levcav) so, ya they are a better opponent for sure. that line also won them a cup. sad but true. isnt it awful to think the last two cup winners were tampa bay and carolina. it would have been much sweeter if it had been the hartford whalers. is there really that much of an attendance difference.? i dont know, maybe. but anyhow, fix special teams, and win the cup. go sabes!

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 This is all I can find on Toni's "injury." From NHL.com... Didn't peruse TSN... Buffalo D Toni Lydman left the game in the second period with an undisclosed upper body injury. Ruff said he didn't expect Lydman to be able to play Friday at Tampa Bay.

wjag Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 This closing schedule has been brutual. Another night, another team desperate for points. Tampa can get a share of the division lead with a win tonight. So you just know they'll be fired up. Buffalo gets another back-to-back game with travel. Lately it seems that teams are shortening their bench and playing their top lines against the Sabres. And their top lines are cashing in. Will we see that again tonight? My guess is yes. Good news is these next two should be wide open hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Enabler Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 tampa bay may have the best first line in hockey.(st louis and levcav) so, ya they are a better opponent for sure. that line also won them a cup. sad but true. go sabes! It would nice to see Drury shut down Vinny again, remember when TB was in HSBC, we just frustated him to the point of penalty status. I think we need to get back to focusing on the other teams star players, more from a forwards standpoint. Tallinder covered Crosby, but when was the last time Drury or a forward was all over someone like he use to be on Jagr or Sundin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallen627 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I'll be at this one. Barring any playoff match up vs a Florida team, this will be the last time I get to see them in person this year. A win would be nice. I am expecting Miller to kick ass and take names.

PASabreFan Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 This is all I can find on Toni's "injury." From NHL.com... Didn't peruse TSN... Buffalo D Toni Lydman left the game in the second period with an undisclosed upper body injury. Ruff said he didn't expect Lydman to be able to play Friday at Tampa Bay. If they are quoting his postgame interview on WGR, that's not exactly what Ruff said. He left the door open a bit that Lydman could make a dramatic improvement overnight and play. But reading between the lines, it doesn't sound good. At least it's a hint that the injury might not be long-term. Then again, how many times has Ruff said something "looked OK" only to still be out weeks later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Balls Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 The Sabres are due for one of their 6-1 or 7-1 outback woodshed ass whoopings on someone. I think they may do that once in the next 3 games. I'm hoping tonight, but not counting on it. I went out the 3 games because I know Washington is coming up. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I didn't even know there was a game on last night. I was busy with midterms. It's great that we finally won a game. Hopefully we can continue that trend tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or "He should be ready for next game," with Connolly still out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Here's a negative for tonight - us CI viewers are stuck with the Sun Sports feed, meaning we get to listen to the second-biggest group of whiners among Eastern Conference broadcasters in Rick Peckham and Bobby "The Chief" Taylor...

TheMadCap Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Did we score???? I hate that I can't see the game. I generally listen to it on WGR. Can't wait to see them against the Leaves on the 3rd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
