Buffalo Boy's Blog

Well who ever is in goal Monday night for the Leafs, I wish them luck. The Sabres just wiped the ice clean with the Washington Capitals and basically took the Capital's strong start to the season and ended it.

Tonights 7-3 trouncing included 53 shots from Buffalo including 24 in the second period. Im in a bit of a catch 22 here. Vesa is my fantasy goalie, however, from what he has done so far this year, I don't like his chances. If he gets 53 shots on him it will be a long night for the Leafs.

That said, ARGH (Andrew Raycroft's Glove Hand, which is usually more like swiss cheese than a glove) as Freddie P likes to call it hasn't looked spectacular either. I don't think I'm starting Vesa Monday night even if he does get the start. Let's face it, the Leafs haven't exactly been tearing up the league and even though Buffalo lost their first two against the Isles, their offense has looked dangerous in all four of their games.

Could be a fun night Monday, at least on the Buffalo side of the border. I love Sabre/Leaf games so much fun and rivalry between them.
