Pysyk scratched again and the Sabres Twitter makes it sound like he's healthy.

 

[ckg927]

Considering that Rochester is getting hit with the same snowstorm that is plaguing Buffalo right now, I can only wonder what the attendance will be like.

 

[Taelin]

Is it just me, or is there two radio broadcasts being played right on top of each other at the same time?

Makes my head hurt.
