Game Notes​

BUF -Ukko-Pekka Luukonen will likely start for the Sabres -Against all odds (being the Sabres) Buffalo finds themselves in a playoff spot almost two-thirds into the season. They're currently 3rd in the Atlantic, although Montreal and Boston are both behind them with the same amount of points

TOR -Joseph Woll will start for the Leafs

Obviously Quillan should be playing. Best way to look at this is that it's hopefully just for the purposes of getting Jarnkrok into more trade conversations.

I have no idea how Buffalo is so good this year.

Their roster isn't that bad. There defense is quite good. I think they just put it all together. Lots of first rounders on this team, with two d-men who were drafted 1st overall.

Hopefully the Leafs are not in for a night of Tuch love. I have a pickup game at 9:00 tonight, so I will be missing most if not all of this game.

They definitely aren't a bad team, just I didn't expect better than the Leafs good.

I think that is more about the Leafs being bad than the Sabres being good. So much parity, but I also think that stuff has gone sideways quite a bit for the Leafs this year. Good in a way though if it lets the Leafs do a bit of a mini-reset.

If we lose this game, Leafs are not making the playoffs. Book it.
