Buffalo Sabres Daily Links: The Return of Thomas Vanek

by Andy Boron on Feb 10, 2012 6:04 AM EST in Daily Links

Let's change things up a bit once again and hope it translates into another Sabres blowout, this time against Dallas tonight.

Here's a preview of tonight's game [NHL.com] and hopefully we'll see the return of Thomas Vanek. [Sabres Edge]

Buffalo's offense is on a mini-hot streak [TBN] while their assistant coaches are doing a great job filling in for Lindy Ruff. [TBN]

Jhonas Enroth has a new mask. [Sabres.com]

Jochen Hecht is going to have neck surgery, but may still return this season. Hm. [WGR]

Some folks aren't happy that the Sabres have decided to start winning [Swordplay] or are just having trouble rooting for them at all. [DGWU Sports]

Amerks blogger Keith Wozniak is really liking the way that Marcus Foligno is shaping up [Let's Go Amerks] and a bunch of prospects scored last night [Sabres Prospects]

The Red Wings and Maple Leafs will face off in the Big House for the 2013 Winter Classic. [NHL.com]

It happened, Scott Gomez finally scored a goal, after going 368 days without. [SB Nation]

Scott Hartnell also scored, then immediately fought Dion Phaneuf. [Puck Daddy]

Is there still hope for the teams in the NHL basement to make the playoffs? [Globe & Mail]

Who are the likeliest candidates to be bought out on each team? [THN]

Winnipeg is in line for the Heritage Classic. [NY Times]

Ruff

I think he is trying to keep up with the 700+ posts on the LossThread in that picture and thinking, “Thank God I didn’t watch this in my office, NBCS is terrible!”

I’m actually really happy to hear some sort of “good” news about Hecht. Yea, a neck surgery isn’t ideal but at least they have an idea what is causing his symptoms

In That Picture...

I think Darcy looks like the baddy from Raiders of the Lost Ark with the Amulet burned onto his hand. Just give him a nice hat!

Nice.

It would be great to have Vanek back. Who do you sit though? Do you take Leino off the top line with as well as he’s played? Remember, Vanek was on a cold streak prior to getting injured.
