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!!!!!

good lord...i think buf should just play with a man in the box

How was Mancari's goal?

it was a rebound of a bad angle shot
good goal…he was pushing hard to the net and got a good rebound out front and put it home with a solid backhand
Second Period

we're trying to be too fancy
too many passes…not winning enough 1 on 1 battles in the corners…plus the isle goalin is freakin hot
our passing has gone down hill in like the last 5+ games
you can usually tell when this team is passing well…they are winning
I think mancari is gonna stay up
he is already a force on the PP
as much as I hate to say it but this might be finigans last year as a sabre
stafford is back to his mediocer self too
mancari's had two deflections that were almost goals
on hit the post and the last one went just wide…the kid hustles till the buzzer
18-2
shots in the second and we get outscored
D.O.
