Sabres vs. Caps and my inaugural post!
Hi everyone, let me start off by saying I am I huge Buffalo Sabres fan. I have been one my entire life and will love them til the day I die, which may come soon with the way Buffalo is, my heart just cannot take it. I’m kidding of course. I am 20 years old and that’s about all the info I’ll dish out now about me. I have just found out through WGR 550 that Gaustad and Gerbe will both be in the lineup for tonight’s game against Washington. Meanwhile, Rivet and Kaleta still remain unfit to play. The last game against the Capitals we did not fair so well, as Ovechkin and his troops took it to us very well. I feel tonight’s match up will be much closer as a hyped up HSBC arena will get behind the home team and hopefully ignite a spark. I would really like to see Gerbe get the monkey off his back and get that first career NHL goal because I think it could really give him the confidence he needs to show up on the score sheet night after night. Washington has won 8 out of its last 9 games and sit in 2nd place in the conference with 49 points, while the Sabres are in 8th place with 39. LETS GO BUFFALO and spread the word about my blog. I hope to post everyday and give everyone my insight and some Sabres news. I am very knowledgeable on hockey, and the NHL in general so if you have any questions at all don’t be afraid to ask.

The Washington Capitals have been on absolute fire the past few weeks and don’t seem like they can be stopped as of right now. I feel that the Sabres don’t have the speed or power to contain Ovechkin. The only hope there is that he chooses to pass rather then shoot tonight (Which I’m assuming won’t happen)
Good call about Gerbe. He needs that first goal to start him up. He was amazing in the Pre-Season and hopefully will Re-Gain that form!
I feel that the only hope for the Sabres tonight will be the Thomas Vanek factor. If he shows up, they might stand a chance!
I Ovechkin. I like score goals. I play hard on ice. I do not get off ice. Especially on power play. When I often score I become crazy. Watch out.
ALex O is an chump…..Hope Goose lays him out a few more time!!
Go Sabres!!
