SABRES AND LEAFS TONIGHT!

The Sabres just took their game day skate.

The last time these two rivals met, Derek Roy dominated @ The ACC in preseason. The Leafs will certainly want to atone for their previous mistakes.Roy torched the Leafs for 3 G and 3 A.

Sub-plots:

* Look for the reunion 61-9-26.

"When Max is flying, like he does, its hard to contain him", Derek Roy told me after the Sabres clobbered the Caps, 7-3, in Buffalo on Saturday night. Lindy Ruff reunited Afinogenov with Roy and Vanek midway through Saturday night's game. Drew Stafford played well with Kotalik.


* Look for Lindy Ruff to ice the same lineup from Saturday night-- Peters likely to sit and Paille and Ryan to play.

* Thibault looks to be the guy in the cage tonight, what with this being the third in five nights for Miller, to say nothing of Miller's trip home to Michign on the off day, to be with family.


Buffalo are riding a two game win streak, wand they are basking in the glow of their recent Power Play success. The Leafs, on the other hand, are still shaking their heads about the third period lead they surrendered to Sid on Saturday night.

The Leafs are taking their skate now. More in a bit.



***

Don't look now, but every skater in the Buffalo lineup, sans Peters, has at least one point this season.

Dan Paille has 1-3, and is averaging a point a game.

Spach leads all NHL Dmen with four goals scored in four games.
