What a nice place and crowd for that game. It was like going back in time.

 

Even enjoyed hearing the National Anthem

 

I didn't catch much of it, but did they ever explain why they chose these two teams for that game?

Looks like NHL teams volunteer and the league chooses which ones

 

 

It's the second time the Sabres have played in a Kraft Hockeyville preseason game. They faced the Ottawa Senators in 2010 in Dundas, Ontario, that year's Hockeyville Canada winner.
"We're excited to once again have a chance to participate in a Kraft Hockeyville USA preseason game," Sabres general manager Tim Murray said. "As an organization we're proud to be a part of such a tremendous community initiative."

At least the Sabres were a local team for that game. For this one, I'm amazed they didn't wind up with any of Chicago/Detroit/Minnesota.

#Sabres lines:

 

Kane-Eichel-Reinhart

Nylander-Girgensons-Fasching

Ennis-Larsson-Foligno

Deslauriers-Grant-Gionta

 

Only 4 legit top six forwards, as it stands now, in that group. We need Lehner to stand on his head tonight as it could get fugly on offense and three of our top four D is out as well.

 

That said, I fully expect us to win 12-3 because I predicted an offensive struggle.
