Mair Fined $2,500 for Ottawa Game Actions

This according to TSN. This could be much worse from the rumblings that we have heard but honestly it shouldn't have been that big of a deal. Here are some quotes from Mair about the situation:

When asked what he was trying to communicate to the Senators, he said, "We don't play those guys until January, so I wanted to wish them a Happy Halloween."

What did they say back?

"I think they said Merry Christmas."

The Buffalo News' John Vogl asked if Mair was trying to talk to Chris Neil or Jaarko Ruutu?

"It's Halloween for everybody, John."

Have to love Mair's sense of humor.

Other news coming from the Sabres, Gaustad was on the ice for practice today and may come back for the game on Thursday. He was centering a line with Peters and Kaleta. Ellis was playing backup with Connolly and Hecht.
