Sabres Preseason Schedule
Jul 23, 2008 NHL
Sabres.com has the preseason schedule up, including a game against the Canadiens in the city that won CBC’s Hockeyville contest (Roberval, Quebec). Annoyed here as usual that the Sabres seem to play every game away, only 2 of the 7 games are at home (not calling a Habs game in Quebec neutral site). Two preseason games versus the Leafs, maybe making up for two less during the season? I’d rather be rid of them, as their toolbag fans might ruin the normally kid-friendly preseason games.

Teppo May Return!
Jul 23, 2008 NHL
The Buffalo News has an article that thrilled my son…Teppo Numminen is in talks to return to the Sabres. Numminen missed all but one game last year after a heart valve condition had to be repaired during training camp. Interesting thoughts from Ottawa coach John Paddock (who coached Teppo in the past):
Former Ottawa coach John Paddock, who coached Numminen when they were in Winnipeg, said he felt the loss of the veteran defenseman actually damaged the Sabres more than the losses of Daniel Briere and Chris Drury to free agency.
It actually makes sense…the Sabres still scored their goals but struggled at keeping opponents out of their end and clearing the puck once it was in. Thomas is watching with interest.
