Maybe we'll get to see Ovechkin's 50th today. It's an honor serving up these milestones
You actually think he will single handedly score 7 goals against the sabres?

Also, like for some other teams, whoever is scratched for sabres, is likely to be traded by Monday? :skeptic:

It's hockey, anything can happen ;)

Some forwards are banged up and both call-ups playing, so no?

6 - 2 for Sabres, epic start of another winning streak

Dahlin with the Gorde Howe hattrick.
Risto hurting Ovechkin, taking away his Rocket, thus resulting in a huge third period brawl led by Wilson and Bogo, ending up facesitting their victims.

HM to Doug Allen for bending those notes.

Edit: of course i don't want OV to be hurt.. let's say it will be a case of broken ego for the next 10 games.

I'm not sure if they'll be in the lineup

I have low expectations as long as it's interesting.
