Sabres VS Leafs tonight

[BOSSMANPC]

I like the defensive pairings.

Tyler Myers, proud owner of the Calder Trophy as NHL Rookie of the Year, obviously made a league-wide impact last season. Count Shaone Morrisonn among those who took notice.

Morrisonn, who played for Washington, vividly recalls his first meeting against the Buffalo Sabres last year. Myers blocked eight shots during the Sabres' 3-0 victory in December, but it was the defenseman's work at the opposite end of the rink that got Morrisonn's attention.

"I was always noticing him up in the rush next to me," Morrisonn said Friday. "I was like, 'What's this big guy doing here?'"

The rest of the line up....

The duo will be part of a veteran lineup tonight against the Maple Leafs. Ryan Miller is expected to start in net before giving way to Jhonas Enroth.

Paul Gaustad between Nathan Gerbe and Cody McCormick.

The other defense pairs will be Chris Butler and Drew Schiestel, and Brayden McNabb and Andrej Sekera.

Another note on Myers...........

The 6-8 Myers has added 5 pounds to last season's playing weight and is tipping the scales at 227. His neck is noticeably thicker and his upper body bulkier, which is allowing him to show a physical side during camp.

"I've gotten a little stronger, so I think it's just coming naturally," Myers said. "I don't need to force it as much, so it's nice that that's happening. With putting on that extra weight, putting on that extra muscle, I think I just have more energy to jump up in the play more. Obviously, I need to pick my moments, but I've felt good throughout camp."

Myers and 6'4" Morrison should make a good pair. Both are big and both can skate.

Do you think Myers is the best non-goalie on the team?

I think if he is not now, he will be by seasons end.

No doubt in my mind. This kid is something special and behind The Miller the best player on the team.

Isn't it our turn to have the Leafs back in the conference?

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Sekera makes it 1-0 Buffalo.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

How is it that the Sabres are playing their first pre season game and the Leafs their fifth? That seems fucked up.
