Daily Links for Friday, Dec. 11

Happy Friday everyone! Hopefully you survived our first winter storm of the season, and are geared up for some back-to-back hockey. After beating on the best team in the East on Wednesday, we get the pleasure of hosting (and hopefully beating) the best team in the West tonight. Game on.

Big week ahead for Buffalo Sabres | ESPN
This three game stretch of the Devils, Capitals, and Blackhawks is a good litmus test for the Buffalo Sabres, and Pierre LeBrun agrees. He also penned an article about Tyler Myers (real original Pierre) but since we're on Myers overload, it doesn't get it's own post. Click here to check it out.

I believe Ruff said he had some hip soreness.
The way Connolly has been playing the last few games I assumed he was playing with an injury.

“We know Ryan Miller has been lights out, arguably the best goaltender in the NHL.”
That’s from that Pierre dude. That’s like saying “Paps Blue Ribbon is the best beer ever, maybe.”
Prediction: 4-2 hawks, Kane scores two to break his drought.

I hate when people use “arguably” when making a controversial point. All that means is “I’m afraid to say this but still want to say it.”

Adam Mair is, arguably, the most unstoppable offensive force in the NHL.
