Oh good, that will surely get the offence going tonight!

Why couldn't they be nice and start Lalime?

Why are they playing Miller in back to back so soon after coming back from injury?

Good question. I watched the Sabres game last night though and Miller looked quite good. Looked to be in mid-season form and wasn't showing any ill effects of his injury. At the same time, he didn't have much work, only 20 shots I think, but he looked steady the whole game.

I guess they're just trying to get him back into his routine where he almost plays every game

Pretty much what the Sens average these days...

Very true. Let's just hope Buffalo is tapped out for goals as well since they demolished Columbus last night.

Maybe because they're 6 points out of a playoff spot.

I understand that, but this is a marathon, not a sprint and Miller just came back from injury. You're rolling the dice by sending him out there back to back.

Shouldn't it be Butler 100021K?

Sens lines tonight:

Regin - Spezza - Alfredsson
Michalek - Fisher - Kovalev
Foligno - Kelly - Neil
Ruutu - Winchester - Shannon

Phillips - Gonchar
Kuba - Karlsson
Campoli - Carkner

Elliott

Sabres lines tonight:

Gerbe - Roy - Vanek
Stafford - Adam - Pominville

Because, just like us, they are just 6 points out of a playoff spot.

Well, you know about my keyboard, right?

Fixed up now. Too bad there's no call up.

Elliott

I wouldn't mind it if they switched up Neil and Shannon, and then Fisher and Kelly. And then you'd have the FFS line back.

This is a big game for Foligno I think. Clouston's put him on the third line with Kelly and Neil and he jumps up into the top six if - for example - Alfie has just PKed and Clouston wants Spezza out there. I think I've seen Clouston do this the last couple of games, this sort of has to be the game that Foligno rewards him for the icetime.

Settle down man... 9-0 is a go for the show in my books.

Besides it's a back to back situation....Elliott should start this game based on that awesome record (hope we didn't jinx it). And leclaire has lost his last two against buffalo.
