Wow, had to edit this entire this entire post. Mobile phone posting FTL.

Anyway, I had the defense pairings wrong. Well, only Sekera and Tallinder. So if they bring up Weber, they’ll probably look like this:

Sekera-Weber  
Tallinder-Lydman  
Spacek-Numminen.

I don’t know how I’ll feel about seeing Lydman and Tallinder together again. If they call up Paetsch then all of this jargin is moot, anyway. :lol:

> Yeah, the Rivet surgery came from completely out of nowhere. But if there’s one are that Buffalo is pretty deep, it’s Defense. I hope they call up Weber and not Paetsch. My biggest concer is fucking with the pairings now. If they call up Weber, they’ll probably pair him with Sekera, which will leave Tallinder all alone, so I’d assume Lydman goes back with him, and then we have Spacek and Numminen.

Def weber\> paetsch. who knows what theyll do. I just hope they aren’t confused as hell and don’t have a solid game plan with out their captain.

I really try not to be an ass online but these may be some of the dumbest comments ever!

Ughh… this Rivet thing sucks… Good thing we still have Numminen and Spacek to fill the leadership roles but Rivet was by far playing the best defensively.

i understand that they could get hurt again. but right now i am hoping that my superstition that if our players get hurt early in the season, that they will be ready to play by the end of the season.

Paetsch sucks ass. He cant fight, he turns the puck over and he has no passing or shoot. Weber all the way. Our D is solid this year.

Sounds like Paetsch is going to get the call-up ☹

From [Sabres.com](http://Sabres.com)

> Filling in for the injured Sabres’ captain is Nathan Paetsch, who will pair up with veteran Teppo Numminen.

Paetsch-Numminen  
Tallinder-Lydman  
Sekera-Spacek

The only good thing about Paetsch getting paired up with Nums is that Teppo always seems to settle his linemates down.

I’m not going to hate on him just yet. A lot of players go back to the AHL and come back playing like actual NHL caliber players.

We’ll just have to wait and see.

Should be a good game tonight…hopefully the D can still prevent a 40+ shot game.

Gaborik is still out for the Wild, but Nolan is expected to play tonight. Minnesota is definitely a more offensive team than they used to be, so I like Buffalo’s chances more than I ever have against them.

Yes it can record two shows at once. Also you have to watch one of the ones your recording so if somebody else is in the mood to watch TV your phooked.
