Super Awesome Buffalo Gameday BONANZA

”It’s alright to pick a little fight BONANZA…”

It’s one of those days a sports fan loves, when you can watch two of your teams on the same day. Too bad they overlap, but at least I won’t have to flip back and forth to whatever episode of House or CSI is on during the hockey game commercials. The Buffalo Sabres face the Montreal Canadiens at 7pm at their HSBC Arena home, and the Bills take on the Jets in their home away from home, the Rogers Center in Toronto at 8pm.

On the Sabres front, Rivet is improving but last I heard will still sit out tonight. Goose is still ‘weeks’ away. Kaleta should be back in (booyah!) so I imagine Paetsch will head back to te press box. The Habs come in having been shut out by the combo of Jonas Gustavsson and Joey MacDonald (the Monster left the game with a racing heartbeat).

The Bills are yet again in that twilight zone between horrible (read: high draft pick) and sort of OK (picking 12-14 again). Still, the team is interesting, even a little fun to watch under Perry Fewell, and you can’t blame him for wanting to win in his audition for this or possible future head coaching gigs. Should be a fun night.
