Gameday - Sabres/Devils
Dec 28, 2007 NHL
Buffalo is in New Jersey tonight for a 7pm game against the New Jersey Devils. The Sabres slipped to 8th in the standings, but a win tonight (combined wit some losses from other teams) gets them back into the 5th spot. They’ll have to do it without Drew Stafford, who has a concussion and must be symptom-free for seven days before he can return to the ice. Paul Gaustad has an arm strain and is iffy as well, and Maxim Afinogenov missed practice after he “felt his groin” according to Lindy Ruff. Hey coach, you could phrase that one better next time, okay?
Kevin at BfloBlog postulated all this could mean the return of Clarke MacArthur. I’ve yet to hear if he has made the trip but I love his game and wouldn’t mind seeing him against the trap-happy Devils.
On a personal note, I’m leaving for Pittsburgh after work tonight so I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to respond to any of your comments or fan mail until Sunday evening. No, I don’t have tickets to the game. Here’s hoping that the weekend is the start to a new winning streak!
