Enroth era coming soon

Just some final thoughts on last night's game. It was Buffalo's best all year.

I am continuously amazed by the goaltending so far this season. I know how good Ryan Miller and Jhonas Enroth can be, but it looks like Enroth has taken the next step up. I remember when he went forever without winning a game, but he has been in the zone this season.

Because of that, I feel that Ryan Miller's time is coming to an end in Buffalo. Especially at this rate, I don't see him being here next season. It's Enroth time, and that doesn't bother me. It's a long season and things can change, but would Enroth be capable or ready to play a full season?

Marcus Foligno was a nice addition to the lineup and he helped spark the team. His fight and effort all night was something we need to see more of.

I'm waiting to see if Buffalo can keep their efforts going over the next few games. That was a much better team on the ice last night.

In other news, the Sabres will now be televised in Canada. Here is the official statement from the Sabres:

The Buffalo Sabres and Bell today announced that Sabres games will now be carried on Bell TV in Southern Ontario, Canada. Sabres games, which were previously available on NHL Center Ice, will now be included as part of Bell TV regular programming – at no extra cost— starting with the Oct. 10 matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

“This is a momentous day for our organization and, more importantly, the thousands of Sabres fans in Southern Ontario,” said Sabres president Ted Black. “We have been aware of the very large number of Sabres fans in Southern Ontario for quite some time and, until now, they have been able to see only a very small percentage of Sabres television broadcasts despite being geographically closer to us than Rochester. We are very proud of getting this done for our fans and we’re thankful to Bell TV and MSG for all the hard work that went into the negotiations.”

A total of 50 Sabres game telecasts from the 2013-14 season will be carried only on Bell Fibe and Satellite TV services on channel 442 (standard definition) and channel 1442 (high definition) in homes from Fort Erie/Niagara Falls to Stoney Creek in Southern Ontario. While Sabres games will now be available to all Bell Fibe and Satellite TV customers in the Southern Ontario region at no extra charge through the regular Bell TV package, games will not be available in the region on NHL Centre Ice or the NHL GameCenter online application.


That's a great thing for the Sabres organization. Good work there.

As always, thank you for reading!
