The Sabres have earned only three of a possible eight points against the Bruins this season. It doesn't sound good but nobody has much success against the Bruins this season. The Bruins have played a total of 38 games and have lost only five times in regulation (one against the Sabres) and four times in Overtime/Shootout (one against the Sabres). In perspective the Sabres have fared fairly well against the First Place team in the Eastern Conference.
The Sabres beat the Leafs on Thursday night in their first game since Lindy Ruff publicly called out some the teams best players and decided to make some changes insid ethe locker room. The game today will be a much stiffer test than the game on Thursday against the Leafs. If anything it gives the Sabres something to build on.
Unfortunately I'll be on tape delay again today because of other obligations on a Saturday afternoon. Try to keep the game thread going so I have something to read later on.

Not bad. Get to soak in an matinee game. Yourself?
I have as many wins in a Capitals uniform as Michael Belhumeur does.
Same here.
I see to be having some sound issues. I have it turned up real far but still hard to hear and there is a humming. WTH!?

Bruins haven’t had a shot since those two early saves by Miller.

Butler curled away from Lucic. Probably a smart move.

We need a
big penalty kill here.
Is it just me or is Thomas stumbling all over the net!? Still drunk from last night?
boo
Oh man. That was a nice shot-fake by Savard.

“Savard can see out of his ears. He has real soft hands with a great imagination”.
I love his quotes.
Gotta be roughing on Chara there.

Buffalo needs to get more shots on net. They’re looking for the perfect pass too much.

buffalo
comes out fired up then peters out at the end
boo.
Don’t want to get into a run-n-gun game with Boston.

Hey, glad to see you guys winning. Not a fan of Boston, beat us two in a row, we are now getting owned by Florida, yup, Florida. Make sure you beat Boston for me ; )
Pominville! Thomas has gotten really sloppy here. Good to see the Sabres capitalize on it.

You guys missed Crosby fighting, drew blood, awesome, it is 5-1 for Florida, but the fight was good. Still rootin’ for your win ; )
Frank and I are nearly out numbered on Pensburgh by Panthers people! I need friends to help me cheer for Pens.
That’s their 3rd jersey, new for this season.

I can understand that no call
The refs weren’t looking. Unlike the 10-12 ones where they were.
Miller ought to be #1 star for this game.

I pretty much agree
But it’s close because Ellis is playing the best game of his season by far.
Well, that’s true. Good point. Ellis is having a career game this afternoon.

It's not just his goals - and the near hat trick
It’s what he’s doing on the other shifts too. He made a give-and-go pass to Pommers in the second that just reeked of playing with confidence.
I think there are two injured Sabers. Paille hasn’t had a shift so far this period.

They just showed that FLA is up 6-1 on Pittsburgh
Believe it or not we’re ahead of them if we get 2 points and they get 0.
Down two
t what point does Boston pull their goalie?I’m thinking around the 2:00 minute mark given the chance.
Timeout Boston with 2:29 left.
Vanek called for a penalty
Funny how he was putting his arms up after being mugged and yet HE gets the penalty.
Thanks for letting me hang out for the game.
Your blog smells pretty.

WOW!
6 on 4 after they pulled their goalie with 1:00 left… Gaustad loses his stick with 20 seconds left.
Good start to the month.
Toronto then Boston on the road.
After the next two home games they play 9 of 10 on the road in every corner of the continent. This is crunch time for this team – and I’m gaining confidence that they have what it takes.
