[open thread] Sabres @ Panthers

Time: 7:30 TV: MSG Radio: WGR55

The Sabres have won two straight and have an opportunity to make it three against a team they should be able to beat.  It would be a good way to close out January after a horrific start to the month, a month where they were the last team in the NHL to actually win a game.  I'll be here for the game so make sure you're here.  I mentioned in an earlier post about Sabres Weekly and tonight we take to the air at TPS radio.net at 11 p.m.
