This is the 6th meeting between these two teams this season, with Buffalo leading 3-2-0.

Last meeting: Tuesday night, with the Sabres winning 6-1.

Ahhhhh, the Maple Laughs. Always a good time. But I don't think this will be a "normal" Sabres/Leafs game. I think the Sabres are headed into a hornet's nest tonight after the Kaberle hit last night. The Leafs may have Darcy "Mother" Tucker back from his knee injury, and he'll be looking to kill anyone not wearing a Leafs uniform to take out the aggression he showed last night in the tunnel after the Janssen cheap shot. The Sabres won't have Andrew Peters to fight him or Belak either, he suffered an upper-body injury when him and Pat Kaleta tag-teamed Steve Begin into the boards last night in Buffalo.

Will we see Ty Conklin making his Sabres debut tonight? Possibly. But all indications are still showing that Ryan Miller will be between the pipes. Expect Aubin in the nets for Toronto.

Cam Janssen's Upcoming Vacation.....

Absolutely despicable. As bad as the Neil on Drury hit was, this was 20 times worse than that. I hope you spend a long time on the sidelines, Cam. But knowing Colin Campbell, you won't be, and it's a god damn shame.

Watch all the Leafs go after Janssen like the Sabres did with Drury......

Oh, what? They didn't go after him??

For once, I don't hate Darcy Tucker....watch him mouth off to Janssen even though he didn't dress tonight. I bet he would have kicked Cam's ass, and for once I would have enjoyed watching Tucker do that. Too bad he was the only one who stood up and did SOMETHING.

Here's to a quick recovery by Kaberle. This crap has NO place in the NHL.

Update! (3/3/07 4:15pm): Cam Janssen gets a 3-game suspension. Well, at least they did something.
