FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) My guess, 4 - 1 Wings win. No idea on who scores, but Pavel does good things. Edited January 10, 2009 by FireCaptain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zion 93 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 Miller Time is going to be a tough one to crack. They still call him Mr. Softee here in Buffalo. The Sabres are not a very exciting team to watch anymore. The Wings need to focus on Vanek and Pominville, who are very good scprers. Sound defense, and this one shouldn't be very difficult. Kaleta won't be there to run around charging everybody. I won't get to listen to Ken Daniels between the benches (black out on Center Ice), so let me know how that goes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) Wings will prevail over the Sabies, 5-2. Not worried at all, with Conks in there and Zata on track with a couple of goals (on top of doing all the other great stuff he always does out there, all the time).

P. Marlowe 748 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 Sabres should be a little tired after last night's game. Rangers controlled for most of the game, but Sabres managed to keep it tied until the shootout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
