Not Bears

Make it five for five against the Bruins this year for the suddenly surging Buffalo Sabres. With 3 more tilts this month against the B's, the Sabres have to like their chances against a team they have handled well all season. The Sabres were strong again on home ice, peppering Bruin goalie Tim Thomas with 35 shots and sending the fans home happy. Another good sign was the effectiveness of the power play, scoring two goals. The PP unit had been slumping as of late.
In an interesting side note the Bruins are the only team that each Sabre goaltender has registered a victory against. Miller has three wins with Biron and Noronen splitting the other two.

Who on the ice played their last game in a Sabres uniform? The trade deadline is Thursday at 3:00 pm so if dealin' Darcy finds a willing dance partner we may have seen the last of Mika Noronen or Martin Biron. The good people at Chef's would prefer to see Noronen go. They would have to reshoot those McKee-Biron catering service commercials that are run during the games.
Speaking of commercials, whatever happened to the Bud Light bubble hockey players? I enjoyed their banter.
