I only got to see bits and pieces of the Sabres games in Europe, since I was at work for one of them, but you can’t ask for much more than what they did. Two wins, including one after a terrible night of travel. Contributions from Ehrhoff and Leino, Thomas Vanek doing his Atlas thing, Luke Adam making a case to stick with the big club long term. Oh, and your new captain Jason Pominville leading by example with 4 points already. The Sabres got a bit squirrelly in the 3rd periods, but Miller seems ready to take care of business in the Buffalo end, so you’ve got that too. The next game can’t come soon enough, though I understand they need time after the trip so I will manage to wait until Friday. 😀

Gameday 2010-2011 – Kings at Sabres
We’ve got another Western conference foe in the building tonight, as LA is in town. They are coming off two straight losses, putting their road record to 4-4. Ryan Miller is likely to get both games, and Rivet is said to be making it back in the lineup (but not sure for who). Kaleta may be ready to return as well.
I like the team the Kings have put together. Doughty and Johnson are a solid foundation on D, Jonathan Quick is in the top 3 in GAA and SP, and they are getting balanced scoring out of their top 2 lines. They are really right where the Sabres SHOULD be this year, and perhaps will be moving forward.
I wonder if perhaps the Kings’ backup goalie, Bernier gets in tonight for yet another backup goalie for the Sabres to face. He had the Monday loss to San Jose, but the Kings play tomorrow in Boston so it is possible.
