MacArthur - Kennedy - Pominville
Mair - Ellis - Stafford

Not sure if that will stick. Ruff apparently doesn't always stay with what he had on the game day skate.

pominville on the 3rd?!? what the...

Yeah, strange... Vanek's back so there's some bumping... and Connolly on wing? Isn't he a center? Ruff could have just been trying things.

It'll be up to young Kessler to take advantage of Buffalo's lack of focus. Interesting analysis, shabbs.

Campoli in for Karlsson - should have pulled Kuba.

Wait, Karlsson's not playing? **** this noise, then.

There's basically no other reason to watch.

Brutal. I'm questioning Clouston more and more this year. I hope EK has some bumps and bruises and he's out as a precaution.

He was stealing Del Shannon's PP time!

So is he definitely not playing?

Can anybody get the adthe feed to work? I don't know why I always have problems with this god damned feed. I can watch AHL games no problem.

Looks like Michalek - Regin - Neil

Gotta go with experience. Its not all that questionable at all. Karlsson has been on the ice for a ton of goals against recently (ya ya, if anyone knows Kuba's as culpable as any other player, its me) and he's still making significant rookie mistakes.

If they have a shot at the playoffs, it starts now. That means putting your best lineup out there. Unfortunately, Karlsson hasn't proved his place in that lineup yet.

atdhe is working for me, but for some reason it doesn't work until I open a justintv tab too.

So... what did the lines end up being?

Shots are 17-0 Sens... is it Miller time again? Damn man.

Can anyone watching the game explain to me how all 4 Sabres are collapsed below below the hash marks and Picard is all the way at the Diddling blueline? What does it take to get some players who can read plays and find WIDE OPEN gaps????

Diddle this team.

Shots are 15-0 Sens - score still 0-0

whats worse is that the Sabres have had the better opportunities

What a clusterfuck.

period 1 ended 19-1 shots in favour of Ottawa and the score still 0-0. I highly doubt the Sabres will continue their play for the next 2 periods so Sens better keep theirs up, there has to be a way to beat Miller
