Man oh man, I guess Darcy and Lindy were right. We have the whole team ready come playoff time ('cept Gaustad, ).

I'd really hate to be the Isanders.

I don't understand why Paille was scratched yesterday. It seems like someone else could have sat who needed the rest more than him. I wonder if he got injured again.

Re: Stafford Called up

I think him paille and connoly or even roy as our 4th line center (doubt roy) will make an excellent 4 thline, then if needed u have ur bruisers on the bench like mair and peters

If the Sabres dress 4 solid lines, there won't be room for Mair and Peters on the bench.

Re: Stafford Called up

I would guess Mair dresses ahead of Paille.
They need at least one physical guy and Mair has some talent (unlike Peters).

Briere-Hecht-Pom
Max-Vanek-Roy
Drury-Zubrus-Kotalik
Conolly-Mair-Stafford

Paestch, Paille, and Peters will be the healthy scratches.

The Roy line is the hottest line Lindy has right now, there is no way that he breaks that up and disturbs it.

That's scarey, a sniper or three on every line.

Max(sniper)-Vanek(sniper)-Roy(sniper)
Drury(sniper)-Zubrus-Kotalik(sniper)

Honestly thats what i said a week ago that they wouldn't take Stafford off that line. Well they did, and Max filled in. I think Roy and Vanek on smaller level shouldn't be seperated.

Max made them forget about Stafford pretty fast. There is no way Roy ends up on a fourth line though.

Good move, but now they only have 1 roster move left....

Im not to worried about that. They have 2 scratched forwards, and 1 scratched D-man. In a pinch Paetch can play both. With one move left barring a real bad string of injuries which i can't see two in the same year. I think we should be good.

Maybe before i go to sleep, but not now because i have work soon.

Mikey the way buffalo's luck is if we are going to get screwed no amount of roster moves will help.
