Last 10: Hurricanes are 6-2-2 and Buffalo is 5-4-1

Season series: This is the first of 4 meetings between these two somewhat rivals. last season the split the series with Jochen Hecht leading all scorers for Buffalo with 4 goals. Eric Staal, Brandon Sutter sand Sergei Samsonov all recorded 2 goals for the Hurricanes.


The nice little streak (6-0-2)the Canes have been over the past 8 games have put them right back in the playoff race Carolina is on a 6-0-2 hot streak and currently sit 9th in the east.

2. Eric Staal - Leads the team in in points with 42 and leads team with 21 goals
3. Tuomo Ruutu - Second in team points leads the team in assists

Players to watch for the Sabres

You know, dude, you could easily take out Gerbe behind HSBC Arena & pull the old switch-a-roo with Joshua! They're around the same size and all.

That has to be hella exciting though, man. Not many can say their son/daughter was skating in an NHL barn with an awful lot of eyes watching them having not been drafted yet!

SKINNNER!!!

I actually went looking for a picture of the SImpson's education administer who always yells. "SKINNER!". And somehow I came across this instead...






Then nothing mattered.

This game is a must win situation. The team, especially Miller and Ennis, need to show up an win. Another botch job like the Flyers on Tuesday night will have a bus of hellbound players.

Missing the net with 7 shots and allowing 4 goals are the results of players not doing their jobs. Do we want them to not do their jobs again? No, because they would be healthy scratches. I think players' intelligences are better than we think. If you score goals and block shots to win games, you would be doing your job.

Dammit, they better freaking win tonight. I'm sick of my not-even-hockey-fans coworkers giving me shit when carolina wins.

I have co-workers like that up here. Some who know nothing about hockey and think icing is when a player stops on his skates suddenly, spraying snow. They give me shit all the time when the Sabres lose just to get a raz out of me.

Living in a town that is known for hockey, in a province which has seen the Stanley Cup more times in last 5 years than some players ever will, for them to even state that this is what they think icing is, hurts my fucking mind and is an embarrassment to the sport of hockey. If you're going to talk shit about someone’s team, learn the god damn game.

Otherwise, you look like a typical 'Canes fan.
