Not much news leading up to today's matchup between the Red Wings and the Buffalo Sabres.

Ty Conklin gets the start for Detroit but the rest of the lineup stays the same. Ryan Miller goes for Buffalo, having played last night.

The game has the early start time of 7:00.

FSN Detroit just announced that Niklas Kronwall will miss tonight's game. No reason given as to why.

Derek Meech was already scheduled to play tonight (I missed that earlier, not sure who he was replacing). No news on whether Chris Chelios will take Kronwall's place or whoever Meech was replacing will.

Derek Roy puts Buffalo ahead.

Derek Roy puts the Sabres on the board, ending Conklin's home shutout streak. Everything went right for Buffalo there, from the failed clear to just the right bounce off Conklin's pads.

Conklin totally just pulled a Hasek!

WOW. What an exciting last minute that was.

And it was very dangerous. I was biting my nails for a little bit there.

[YzerFan19]

Crazy-ass scramble with Conklin all over the place. That was sweet but only 'cause it worked.

[YzerFan19]

Wings making some bad decisions in the first. Even Datsyuk, getting caught between the fake and the pass at the end of the period there.

And they're doing a bad job of getting to rebounds. There were a couple good chances where no one was there.

[YzerFan19]

WTF? Sabres with only one faceoff win in the first period? Not that there were all that many.

[YzerFan19]

Shorthanded two-on-one, no shot. That's how it's going right now.

Hudler ties it up for the Wings. :) Was not expecting that there, but I'm not complaining :D

[YzerFan19]

Hudler with the one-timer! None of that overly-cute passing, just a rocket shot that didn't hit Miller in the chest.

Mickey York during intermission "We have found Waldo, or as you know him, Larry Murphy." Said as footage of a hot dog stand is shown.

You know they did that on purpose

[YzerFan19]

Another power play with nothing. Ugh.

[YzerFan19]

Awful call on Buffalo. It wasn't a hook and it wasn't intentional goalie interference. Ken's right, I'd hate it if it were against the Wings.

[YzerFan19]

That was the play the Sabres were waiting for, too. Just hold on as long as they can and maybe they'll get a two-on-one.

[Britishwingsfan]

Man, that was scary.

[YzerFan19]

Mikey! What a f*cking play!

[YzerFan19]

Hossa with another nail! That barely made it through.

[Britishwingsfan]

Yeahhh! He waited and waited and eventually put it in.
