"Big time (so much larger than life)"

Tim Connolly admitted it. Thomas Vanek admitted it. Eric Staal admitted it.

Tonights game is big.

Not quite game 7 of the playoffs big, but "vault into playoff position or trail by two games" big. It's times like these that the Sabre's, in the past, have shrunk. Theres a new feeling around the team with the ownership change and the addition of Brad Boyes, and more "go for it" attitude, but tonight's game will tell me a lot about whether this team is ready to take the next step.

Will it be the team that dominated the rangers for the first 20 minutes tuesday night? or the scrambling, edge-of-your-seat, hold on to something team that needed big saves from Miller in the final 20 minutes.

or, as per the rest of the year, will it be both? All i know is that this game will go a long way in the mind of sabres fans as to what to expect for the rest of the season.

1 for the money:
-Drew Stafford, GET ON THE SCOREBOARD.

2 for the show:
-I expect Tyler Myers to have a big game tonight, i think the kid is getting better under pressure, and look for crisp breakout passes and a few good rushes down the ice.
- I'm feeling bi-polar today, much like this team this year. Win? 4-2 sabres. Loss? 3-1 Carolina. It's a coin flip.
