Canadian Sabres Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) In game 1 of 2 of their back to back this month the Sabres travel to MSG to take on the Rangers.The Rangers have been playing decent hockey in their last 10 games (5-5-0) in which I hope the reason for this is the Rangers dont really care that much since they have clinched a playoff berth and are just trying to keep the injury bug away from their team with only 8 games remainingRangers have taken the last 3 meetings by scores of 4-1, 1-0, and 3-2 but the Sabres are a much different team now and 2 out of 3 games went past regulation..Injury Report: For the Sabres, Jochen Hecht (concussion) is on IR whileMatt Ellis (knee) is out andNathan Gerbe has been out since March 12 with an upper-body injury. … The Rangers lack any new injuries.Who's Hot: Miller has just one regulation loss in his last 16 games (11-1-4). … The Rangers' Brad Richards has six goals and six assists in his last eight games.Puck Drop: "We knew everybody was counting us out, and we just wanted to go out and prove to ourselves that we knew we had a better team in here. It shows the character of the boys." -- Sabres forward Derek RoySeason stats VS OppositionDrew Stafford (2G 0A 2Pts)Thomas Vanek (1G 1A 1Pts)Jason Pominville (0G 1A 1PTS)Tyler Ennis (0G 1A 1PTS)Andrej Sekera (0G 1A 1PTS)Derek Roy (0G 1A 1PTS)Rangers:Carl Hagelin (3G 1A 4PTS)Micheal Del Zoto ( 0G 3A 3PTS) Ryan Callahan ( 2G 0A 2PTS)Marian Gaborik ( 2G 0A 2PS)Steve Eminger (0G 2A 2PTS)Brad Richards (0G 1A 1PTS)Goalie SpotlightRyan Miller (0-0-2) 1.41 GAA / .947SV%Johans Enroth (0-1-0) GAA 4.00 / .879 SV%Henrik Lundquist (2-0-0) 0.94 GAA / .963 SV%Martin Biron (1-0-0) GAA 1.00 / .970% Edited March 23, 2012 by Canadian Sabres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I think Miller will keep the Sabers in the game against the Rangers, giving them the chance for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Time Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Do not forget the last meeting was actually a 0-0 and we lost shootout. We are a better team now. And Hodson has now contributed. Like our chances big time. Go SABRES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
