7:00PM TV:Versus Radio:WGR55
The fans in Buffalo will get an opportunity to welcome back an old friend for the second time and quite possibly say goodbye to another. Daniel Briere will be back in Buffalo for the second time this season and it comes just two days after Chris Drury made his first visit to Buffalo. As for saying goodbye to a close friend, Brian Campbell's agent stated today that he fully expects that Brian Campbell will be moved at the deadline. I'll have much more on the Campbell thing after the game.
As for the game tonight it's a big game for both teams. The Sabres are currently in eighth place at 68 points with the Flyers just one point behind at 67 points. Both teams have 20 games remaining including tonight and are fighting for their playoff lives. It is apparent that the Flyers have decided to make a run at the playoffs despite a 10 game winless streak and the loss of Mike Richards from the lineup. The Flyers acquired Jaroslav Modry from Los Angeles in order to shore up their blue line while the Sabres have yet to decide if they are buying or selling.

They needed those two quick goals. That will really shake the confidence of the Flyers who are on a 10 game winless streak.

thst was
a bull call i can hold better then that
we cant
keep giving them the puck that easy
Connolly
I didn't think Timmy used that type of language. It was kind of funny when he said who are you?
contract
did ruff sign his last year? oh no not timmy again
Unreal
I've never seen anything like this in my life. Ridiculous call by a linesman who definitely needs to be fired.
Hook
If that was a hook I'll stop watching hockey right now. This game gets worse as we move along.
i think
they should make a rule if you blow three call's we hamaybe these ref's would pay more attention to the gameve a replacement in the wings and your gone no pay
That's two
How in the hell is that hooking? He used one hand to lift his stick and gets called for hooking. A big game like this and so many mistakes. By the Flyers, by the Sabres and especially by the referees.
hope you understood all that don't know what
happened to my typing or what i'm hittting that i'm not supposed to
joan
how are the babies? and hope heather is doing good.did sheila say anything about heater and the townhouse?
my baby's are wonderful
and no sheila never told us about the house but heather emailed david with pictures so we found out
we are 3 2 by the
skin of our teeth we have to step it up or at least knock out a ref or two to even this game up
that suckes
i can't wait for the post game show i'll be night night
hat trick
at least you know they didn't post the answer yet. i think it's la la lafontaine
that's three he should be out
we need consistent ref's that's for sure
Bad whistle
the Ref has to make a better effort of seeing the puck. It was clearly loose
dam i didn't
need that i need to go night night
i'm going to
watch but i'm signing off now bye
