Buf @ Fla 2/10/11 7:30

After a swift and effective 3rd pd discharge of the Lightning, BUF heads to Miami / Sunrise to face the Panthers.

Key questions:
1. Will Ryan Miller let in his nightly softie?
2. What's Monty's injury? Will he play?
3. Will Hecht and Pomminville get on track against a lesser opponent than Tampa?
4. Can BUF win it's 3rd game in a row for the 1st time this season?
5. Which BUF squad shows up tonight for the 3rd period? The one who folded against PIT or dominated against TB?
6. Will jpegula attend?

Sabres disappoint tonight (not a stretch)

Ferocious kitties - 4
Sword - 2

Ennis, Leopold or McCormick get a goal

Vanek takes his talents to South Beach, Sabres get at least a point.

I find it hard to say Pominville is off track when he is PPG since the Roy injury and has 4 goals in his last 8 games.

I get to watch this game!

This would be a good time to get our first 3-game winning streak of the season (not that there can be a bad time, unless you're trying to tank).

Really? Lets be honest, this does have a lot of the makings for a let down game but the Sabres are 11-5-1 in their last 17 games. The second best record in the league. Why does every single GDT start with 8 people predicting a 3 goal loss???

He has a concussion.

Quote:
The Buffalo Sabres will visit the Florida Panthers on Thursday without Steve Montador, with sources telling The News he is suffering from concussion-like symptoms. The defenseman was injured during Saturday's game against Toronto on a second-period hit by Jay Rosehill. He finished the game but has since failed a neuro-psych test, The News has learned.

Montador and coach Lindy Ruff would say only that the defenseman has an upper-body injury. Ruff acknowledged that Montador is not allowed to do any off-ice workouts, which fits the standard concussion rehab protocol.

Kaleta won't play tonight. Ruff isn't in a hurry to break up a winning lineup.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The Sabres nixed their morning skate (which fortunately is a regular happening in 80-degree beach weather). Craig Rivet and Patrick Kaleta were the only players headed to the rink, so they won't play tonight.

Well, the key to the game is pretty simple: don't get your ***** kicked in the 1st period, and you'll probably win. Florida has outscored Buffalo 7-0 in the 1st period this season. Thereafter, Buffalo has outscored Florida, 5-3. Come out strong and they'll have a great chance.

I think Buffalo gets off to a good start, scores two quick goals, and coasts to a 4-2 win.

Vanek
Pominville
Ennis
Stafford

Higgins (of course)
Booth

With the trade today, I wonder if Florida has a depleted lineup. And who knows about their mental makeup if they are thinking they might be next out the door. This COULD, repeat COULD, be a game that Buffalo jumps out early and coasts to a win with.

It would be really good if they can actually start a winning streak tonight and I think they will. Also, I think we can count on Skille being a factor in Florida's scoring tonight because of new team syndrome.

Sabres-4
Panthers-1

I could see Connolly being a last minute scratch due to a bad case of sunburn.

They've got at least one "butter knife" period in them. But I think they'll win in the end.
