Quick preview as I head out the door for the day. Canucks come into Buffalo after beating Detroit last night 4-3 in overtime. Should mean that they are fatigued from playing such a difficult game against the world champs. Sanford in net for the Canucks due to the back-to-back. No real Sabres changes. I will have more on this game tomorrow. Here are the stats.

can you really crown the red wings the world champs when hockey is such an international sport?
ReplyDeleteYes, yes I can. When another league is better than the NHL let me know.
