Buffalo @ Minnesota | 8 PM EST

Burgmania · 10-01-2008, 12:18 PM

Tonight, your Buffalo Sabres travel to Minnesota to take on the Wild in the Sabres' fifth preseason game.

I haven't heard anything regarding a lineup yet for either team.

LET'S GO BUFFALO!

i think the thing that would boost us most would be a shootout win...

petteri · 10-01-2008, 12:27 PM

Any word on TV and/or radio coverage?

true, but we know we're capable of doing that cause we did it a lot last year....i want SO wins...i want stafford and kotalik as guarenteed spots in every shootout this year (unless their results in the game were horrid)

I'm assuming M-A Bergeron is out since he broke his nose in a fight with Kyle Beach.

Any Wild fan have any idea what has gotten into Bergeron this preseason? He has been in 3 fights in 3 games. He has only been in 1 fight in his entire AHL/NHL career. That includes pre,reg + post season at both levels over the last 6 seasons.

Lemaire even commented that he needs to stop fighting.

Was this after his nose got broken?

I'd guess that he really wants to make a statement.

Its not like they even need him fighting especially in the pre-season, they have Boogaard who is a good fighter, Bergeron should just stick to his style of play and not attempt to fight anymore.

Any one know if this game is gonna be shown on time warner or over the net?

Ddubs · 10-01-2008, 06:10 PM

I want them to play a full 60 mins. Don't take your foot of the break hockey.

Already without defenseman Marek Zidlicky because of a sore ankle, the Wild lost defenseman Marc-Andre Bergeron in the second period after he broke his nose in a fight with Kyle Beach.

It was Bergeron's third fight in three games. Strangely, his only NHL fight came during his rookie year in 2002-03.

"He's got to stop fighting. Just play the game," Lemaire said.

hockey webcasts says audio only. Not playing a canadian team either, so who knows if the usual suspects will have it...

Lines:

Vanek - Roy - Kotalik
MacArthur - Hecht - Pominville
Paille - Zagrapan - Stafford
Darche - Hunter - Mancari

Lydman - Spacek
Sekera - Tallinder
Numminen - Paetsch

Miller

----

PP1:
Vanek - Pominville - Kotalik - Roy - Numminen

PP2:
MacArthur - Hecht - - -

Note: I'm not 100% sure on some of the lines, but those are the players at least

A Storm of Swords · 10-01-2008, 07:17 PM

Hmmm. I turn the game on and Minnesota scores. Maybe I should turn the game off now...

cardiffgiant · 10-01-2008, 07:21 PM

where did you turn it on?

Vito_81 · 10-01-2008, 07:25 PM

MacArthur-Hecht-Pominville sounds like they're the best Sabre line out there so far tonight. Mac seems to be going hard for Goose's roster spot.

And damnit.

Vito_81 · 10-01-2008, 07:35 PM

well this one doesn't seem to be going our way.

ochsbeatdown · 10-01-2008, 07:41 PM

3-0 at the end of the 1st? really? miller? hello?

sabrestix · 10-01-2008, 07:42 PM

Thankfully it's only pre-season, but Miller giving up 3 goals on 5 shots is not a good sign.

petteri · 10-01-2008, 07:46 PM

Yuck.

I agree

Playing teams with any physical edge without Rivet and Weber is going to be a headache for this team.

You just brightened me up a bit by reminding me we've got Weber and Rivet.

I'm so done with Tallinder...
