The "Official" Leafs @ Sabres gameday thread!

[Mitchy moo]

Hey, it's our team and we are on National TV.

GO SABRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Buffalo Sabres (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/clubhouse?team=buf) are without their top two centers from last season. They may not miss them too much if their defense continues to contribute offensively.
The Sabres look to build on two straight dominant victories Monday night when they face the Northeast Division rival Toronto Maple Leafs (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/clubhouse?team=tor) for the first time this season.
Since opening with back-to-back losses to the New York Islanders (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/clubhouse?team=nyi), the Sabres (2-2-0) have looked every bit like the league's highest-scoring team from last season in wins over Atlanta and Washington.
Buffalo scored three power-play goals Thursday in a 6-0 victory over the Thrashers, then registered 53 shots Saturday in a 7-3 win over the Capitals.
Jaroslav Spacek (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=882) scored twice and fellow defenseman Brian Campbell (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=136) added four assists Saturday for Buffalo, which lost star centers Chris Drury (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=231) and Daniel Briere (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=102) to free agency in the offseason

[PcA125]

our PP looked like crap. I really wish i could hear what was going on lol. I tried listening on the radio but it is on a delay

[BlackMetalNinja]

My sound kept cutting out too, very annoying, especially since I'd rather hear RJ anyways. I do so love HD though.

[PcA125]

I found a way around it. Just watch on nhl.tv because it is on a delay too. If you want to listen to RJ just mute the nhl.tv and put on the internet radio

[Mitchy moo]

we're down 2-0, crap.
