Enemy Blogs:  Lighthouse Hockey [SB Nation Islanders Blog]

 

The Buffalo Sabres continue to struggle losing four in a row including a 3-0 shutout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers last night.  It was the first time the Sabres have been shutout all season.  Mark Mancari was called up from Portland for yesterday's game and will be back in the lineup tonight against the Islanders.

The Sabres are going to start Patrick Lalime tonight after Ryan Miller played last night.  Lalime has struggled in his last two starts but Lindy Ruff does not want to over work Ryan Miller the way he did last year. 

Unfortunately broadcasting a game tonight will keep me away from the game but I will check in periodically.  Have fun and GO SABRES!!!!!
