Oh boy the Bruins again, yayyyyy, ugh. Well the Sabres seem to be on a 3 game losing streak starting with a OT loss versus these same Bruins, unless they have all changed in a week, I'll assume they are the same. The Sabres on the other hand have caught the injury bug. As they tend to do. This time heavy on the defense side. Kalinin is out, Pratt is out, Spacek has a shoulder that doesn't heal. While Adam Mair is gone for a while with some ankle issue. And Timmy has hurt his tummy. So we will be seeing some more callups. Mike Weber is already up plus Sekera has a hand injury, but I see him playing anyway. And by playing I mean sitting on the bench watching how you actually play defense. Clarke MacArthur will be called up along with some other forward Hunter, Mancari or Zagrapan.
The Bruins are coming off back to back losses to the Senators. One of those was a overtime loss. And only have won 2 of the last 5, so both teams are struggling a bit. They recalled a goaltender Tuukka Rask, whos some hot new young Finnish goaltender, so if they feel to give Tim Thomas a night off. He could see the ice tonight. The Bruins are still led by their big 3 in scoring, Savard, Sturm and Kessell. Who likes to read to kids
Outlook
Well the Sabres are in need of a win, they are also banged up mainly on the backside. But the Bruins don't have a lot of fire power compared to a club like Ottawa. With a couple kids in the lineup looking to make the club, look for some more effort then usual. The home crowd won't probably be that hyped up. But I see the Sabres shaking off the rust and pulling off a 4 -2 win.
GCFB won't be watching much since he has better things to do.

Yay, more divisional games! We've barely started the month and I'm already tired of them.
