Buffalo Sabres
By James Gleason of Editor In Leaf
Well the Olympics could not come at a better time for the Buffalo Sabres as they head into the break on the short side of things. With rumours swirling about the future of players like Ryan Miller, Matt Moulson and Drew Stafford, times have not been good for the fans. Right now, Sabres fans should be happy that the two weeks off means less Sabres hockey and more Canada winning gold because it relieves them of the constant disappointment the Sabres put on the ice with the exception of Ryan Miller. It will be a good feeling seeing him succeed (but not win gold) in the Games because it would be nice to see Miller happy and actually achieving silver.
As for the events today, Jonas Enroth and Henrik Tallinder made their Olympic debuts today against the Czech Republic. Sweden won it by a score of 4-2. The Americans’ first game against Slovakia is on Thursday and can be seen on TSN starting at 7:30 a.m. EST while Canada gets started tomorrow against Norway at noon EST.
