Sabres Notes:
Started the season 0-2 with both losses against the NY Islanders...Ales Kotalik is expected to play after missing the first two games with an injury...Jaro Spacek has two goals in two games after having five goals all of last season...Ryan Miller allowed nine goals in the first two games of this season...Sabres powerplay is 1 of 11 and rank 22nd on the powerplay...Tonight is Sabres first game since a 3-2 loss on Saturday night...Rank 30th on penalty kill.
Thrashers Notes:
Thrashers are 0-3 after a 3-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators last night...Marian Hossa did not play last night against Ottawa and is unlikely to play against Buffalo...Ilya Kovalchuk had the Thrashers only goal last night...Former Sabres Alexei Zhitnik, Eric Boulton and Chris Thorburn play for Atlanta...Thrashers rank 23rd on the powerplay and 22nd on the penalty kill
Fast Fact:
The Sabres won 10 consecutive games to start last season and had their streak snapped in game 11 against Atlanta in a shootout.

SCORE!!!
Kotalik, with an awesome shot nearly point-blank. An awesome start to the game!

Score!!!!!
On the powerplay...Kotalik already making an impact. That was a great play by Connolly. It was a good powerplay all around
Power Play
That was a really nice power play. Good movement, good passes, and great opportunites that paid off.

Oh, Connolly. I agree, though, D.O. in that is was a great penalty kill!

Another...
PP Let's see if they can keep this thing going. I want to take advantage of every opportunity.
SCORE!!!
An awesome shot by Connolly, on the power play!!! Deflected by somebody, I'm guessing.

Score!!!!
Another PP goal and there should be another penalty coming as well. 2-0 Buffalo
YES!
These are the Sabres I knew were out there! They are playing really, really well right now, in the true fashion. Connolly has been on fire, and it seems like everyone is doing an amazing job!

sabres
were looking good but i hate this announcer he soundes like were keeping him up
Harry Neale...
isn't bad he's just different than Lorentz. Once you get used to him and he gets used to this team he'll be a lot better. He does a fantastic job on Hockey Night in Canada.
NO WAY...
Ray would not do a good job

Neale...
He is quite different from Lorentz, but not too terrible. His first game was kind of rough, yet he does seem to be getting better. At least Jeanneret is still there!

Lydman
He seems a little shaky lately, but I think he is improving now and then. Still, what goes on in his mind confuses me sometimes!

christmas
i think i've decided i want a connolley jersey tell dad he don't listen to me
Time to...
hire a new clock operator...just don't get the one from Ralph Wilson Stadium because he may have cost the Bills a game
good thing
there wasn't alot of action in the first period in our end because miller is looking tired already
Wouldn't expect to see...
Kovalchuk getting into a fight. I think he may have beat up Stafford though.
What...
a save by Miller on that one. Great save to preserve the shutout.
we
almost put that puck in the net for them
do
am i doing this right because i only see my comments and yours
I'm still here...
but I was setting up Buffalo Gridiron Pulse. It's airing now.
Another beautiful...
save by Miller. What was that about him being tired?
oh
my god that first goalie looks like he's 12 years old
talk
about all over them and coming up empty
WOW!!!!
what pressure...this team looks really good tonight. Much...Much different than last weekend
Very Good...
game for the Sabres. If you want to hear more sabres tune into Sabres weekly at 10pm.
