Just hoping we see someone good paired with Ristolainen.

Very winnable game

 

[wunderpanda]

Don't get shut out! Go Sabres!

 

[Zip15]

I'll predict a 4-3 win and a multi-point night from Ennis. Too bad we don't have Jack because he seemed to score a bunch vs Ottawa.

 

[sabresfan129103]

3-2 Sens. We get shut down by a hot goalie for the 2nd game in a row.

 

[Icicle]

Kane was going to be back, no?

 

[Wisent42]

I want a win, but I'll settle for someone punching Neil in his stupid face.

 

[Dreakon13]

Kane was going to be back, no?

If I'm remembering correctly, Murray said on Thursday that Kane wanted to start playing already, but they were pushing for "next week"... so probably not until one of next weeks games.

 

[ZZamboni]

Kane won't play obviously.

Has he even been cleared to practice with the team. Non-contact? Full contact?

I was under the impression he wouldn't actually play in a game for more than a couple more weeks

 

[RobRayzor]

I want a win, but I'll settle for someone punching Neil in his stupid face.

There are bunch of guys that can make that assface kiss the NHL logo on the boards.

 

[Yankwood]

7-1 Sabres.

 

[Aladyyn]

My prediction is 3 goals by the Reinhart line tonight. They're due.

‏@BuffNewsVogl - Could be an emotional night in Ottawa as Craig Anderson returns from being with his wife and is first goalie off for morning skate.
Craig Anderson will indeed start for the Senators on #HockeyFightsCancer night in Ottawa.
Robin Lehner will start in goal for the Sabres, while William Carrier will make his NHL debut.

Here are "Five Things To Know" as the Sabres visit the Senators.
#1 - Ottawa goaltender Craig Anderson is back after being with his cancer-stricken wife and will start in net.
#2 - Robin Lehner will start in goal for the Sabres.
#3 - Sabres left winger William Carrier will make his NHL debut.
#4 - Baptiste will boost the attendance. (Baptiste is from the area and will have a large cheering section at the game.)
#5 - The Sabres’ television broadcast will have a unique sound. (Dan Dunleavy fills in for Rick Jeanneret. Martin Biron fills in for Rob Ray.)

Murray seemed quite optimistic if you read his recent interview on WGR from a day or two ago. I was a little surprised too.

Why no Rob Ray?

 

[ThunderD]

Why no Rob Ray?

Since RJ is off they might want the guys to work in pairs so Ray is off too. A better guess is that Ray travelled with the team but since he is from near Ottawa they gave him the night off to visit.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

Best to Craig Anderson and his wife but I want two points.

 

[AustonsNostrils]

Kane had a 90 minute on ice workout today. He's going to take part in practice with contact on Thursday and if things go fine the target is for him to play Saturday vs New Jersey.

 

[gallagt01]

How the heck am I supposed to root against Anderson right now?

Go Sabres I guess.

Edit: Who taught that cotton candy to sing? Not bad.

 

[gallagt01]

Touching tribute here.

 

[gallagt01]

How is that icing?

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

How is that icing?

bad call

 

[Sabretooth]

Some weak play be ennis in the d zone to start this game

 

[GellMann]

You'd think after a long NHL career Gionta would have picked up some transition intuition with regards to staying onside, but he's the worst player at it I think I've ever seen.
