I have a feeling Biron is going to start tonight.

Re: Sabres take on the slumping Canadiens @ the Bell Centre-game thread

I don't think he will... no point in resting Ryan when he's about to have a week off... well, minus 1 period on Wednesday anyways.

Either way, LET'S GO BUFFALO!!!!

That was a lousy first period, the first goal was pure luck... but we can't keep taking penalties against the #2 PP team in the league.

Re: Sabres take on the slumping Canadiens @ the Bell Centre-game thread

that was a very disappointing loss. Not sure why. I guess it would have been nice going to the break with a win.

Dissapointing but not terrible.

We showed we still have the same kind of fight in us we had all last year and this fall.

Fix the powerplay and start putting in 60 minute efforts, it'll start clicking.

The guys are , you can't play 7 games in 11 nights it's just and expect to win! it looked like they didn't want to play tonight they were looking toward the All-Star break. But they showed that this team never quits. Besides we're where we want to be in first place in our division. Miller would've made the save on the GW goal though.
