Wild Get
Pierre Marc Bouchard and Marek Zidlicky back tonight. Should be a fantastic Game among the Top two teams in the league, Best of Luck Sabres.
I agree 2-1
I’m not sure which team will win

Come on Niede
Buffalo wont win, No Team from a City that if you went to youd think you were in Canada will ever beat the wild.
Stafford
has two goals since I said he would be replaced in the lineup when the injured players come back.
Well
The Gophers did win the second national title in the back to back there, so it’s good for something.
This hasnt Been a Good Period for Sabres
Lindy Ruff Really needs to Fire those Boys up for the Next Period or else Minnesota will walk away with this one.
Buffalo is getting a few chances
They are giving up way too many chances though, can be doing that against a wild Team who can score.
