After a rip-roarin' start their first two games, the Sabres have struggled a bit yet still haven't lost in regulation.

I'm hoping that this was an autocorrect issue:

The Buffalo Sabers have a 3 p.m. matinee game against the Dallas Stars at KeyBank Center today.

5-0-1

No problem.

Looking forward to the game later. I'm just enjoying the ride and not trying to get too excited or too critical right now.

Nice Read, hopefully they push the pace for a whole 60, they really seem to be buying into the system, but with being a young team there will be some bumps in the road.

A goaltender they've struggled with year over year would be today's challenge I would think. Luckily with him being in Dallas now we only see him twice a year now.

Very true, but for the first time in a while it seems like we have a coach who can make in game adjustments. See how they respond to a heavy game

my eyes are too sore to do the research but doesn't Bishop traditionally give us a hard time?

fla had some heft behind their speed and talent

Yup. He's won his last 12 starts against us. Shut us out in both games last year.

thx...looking forward to a 3-2 buffalo win

Isn't Dallas the team that killed us on Kids Day a couple of years ago when Jbotts slammed the press door? I know, past news, but, let's hope for an opposite outcome.

Ben Bishop has killed the Sabres. In 13 games he is 12-0-1 with a .951 sv% and a 1.37 GAA. However Dallas is 5-8-1-1 at the KBC. Hopefully the team comes out ready to play a full 60 minutes. Dallas has a bad record, but started with a pretty tough schedule. They are yet another team that we should expect to be playing desperate hockey.

Yeah your right with the Cat's, West plays a different style then most East Teams, a good test for the Sabres.

Feeling Dahlin answers his coach back today and has a monster game

I briefly considered working from home today just so I could watch the game.

Bishop hasn't played well at all this year.

Hopefully the Sabres can capitalize on his subpar performances so far.

Very short time to lock in your HBSL lineups, if you haven't done so.

I always disregard the schedule, but remembered this year.
