The D looks really good. Vanek and everyone else is actually back checking. Great game. Now lets see how we do with a back 2 back game on friday and sat. ---

I’d say… I just watched the replay of the game on MSG- ‘Rangers in 60’, and the Sabres blocked so many shots, it’s ridiculous. The score sheet says they blocked 18, but I’d be surprised if they blocked any less than 30, lol. ---

I was a little let down in the first period, i thought we werent passing well, we couldnt get out over our zone and we didnt win any battles. The seconds period i thought we played much better along with the third. Overall good game against a legitimate good team. Hopefully we can keep this up for a while. Looking forward to Goose and Connolly coming back, we need a PP quarterback. ---

Yeah, that first period was bananas. Very poor effort by both teams, actually; after the Rangers scored that first goal, they didn’t get another shot on net until like 5 minutes into the 2nd period. Kinda funny, but I guess Lindy scouted the Rangers the other night when they played the Devils, and he did to New York exactly what they did to the Devils. ---

Ok so Vancouver has a solid squad this year… they squeaked past the Redwings but got romped by the Capitals… I think this is going to be a good one again. I wonder if both teams first goalies will go. I know Luongo Has started all of their games so far and in response to ^^^ Lindy did say he wanted to get Lalime another start this week. ---

Buffalo is 4th on the power rankings: [http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/powerranking](http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/powerranking) Find that amusing since most people were putting them out of the playoffs in the pre-season. ---

being a vancouver fan, this game is going to be stressful since i want both teams to do well 😛 I do see buffalo winning though, because vancouver is on a long road trip and just played in detroit last night. should be a good game regardless 🙂 canucks seem to be a faster team than last season ---
