Well here we go again another Northeast Opponent, another must win game. I feel like I've gotten use to writing this of late. Well last nights must win vs Northeast opponent game didn't go as planned with a 3-2 loss to the Ottawa Juggernauts. Well here we go another game against the Habs tonight at 730pm at the HSBC Arena.
Season Series
11/5/07 2-0 Loss at Montreal
10/20/07 4-2 Loss at Montreal
So whats going on with the Canadiens
Since the last matchup, the Canadiens have gone 2-1 with wins over Boston and Toronto and a loss to Ottawa. Their Power play is still on fire hitting at a almost 30%! Kovalev is leading the team in Points(16) and goals(9). With Markov(15), Plekanec(15), Koivu(15) and Higgins(11) all in double digits for points. But the Canadiens will only go as far as their goaltending, both Huet and Price are playing outstanding, so it doesn't matter who is net, especially with the Sabres of late. It will be beat the Habs any given night this year. Especially if you are undisciplined.
Outlook
Well at this point I have no idea whats gonna happen. They have been playing hard I guess, but can't score. If they they finally learn to convert. They just might explode for a week, where they score 6 goals a game and everyone gets excited again. But if this scoring issue continues, especially playing from behind at all times, they will only lose ground and it will be too late to make a move. These are very critical games and the Sabres need to do something, or just start preparing for next year.
Anyway enjoy your friday.
