They'll definitely need to throw the body around more tonight, tighten up their D, and the offence will need to be top nothc if they want to score into this goalie, and break the sharks winning streak.

I'm thinking there may be a shake-up of the lines on the Sabres side tonight. They haven't been producing the same opportunities they were making 2 and 3 weeks ago. It's time for a change.

I'm thinking along the lines of:

Hecht - Roy - Pommers
Vanek - Connolly - Stafford
Kotalik - Goose - Max
Ryan - Mair - Paille

I'd like to give Paille and Mair a bit more time on the ice, but i just don't think it would happen. I think these lines seem pretty balanced and they have performed well together before on similar lines. Max needs to get hsi game going quickly or he's gonna be moving city for someone more consistent.

Hopefully the Hatton/Mayweather fight has finished by the time the game starts so i can concentrate on it.
