who gets the start today vs. philly?

the hated philadelphia flyers today and "mum's the word" on who'll be in net...we do know one thing, patrick lalime will NOT be in net this weekend, pretty damn sure he will not see the crease again as a buffalo sabre, barring anything extraordinary happening...

jhonas enroth has been called up and it looks as if the pattern will be this for the rest of the year:  he'll get plenty of playing time in portland, will respond to the sabres logo shining in the sky (ala batman,) come in and play his one game then head back to portland...

one would think that enroth will get the call today vs. the flyers...ryan miller has been stellar since the 7-6 loss to the islanders, save for last game vs. the canes...a sharper miller would've stopped the ot game-winner by jamie mcbain...even though plenty went wrong with the sabres' skaters on that play, a goal like that should be a huge red-flag for lindy ruff, and probably is a sign that miller needs the game off...

the fly-boys have lost two in a row a 4-1 loss to the ottawa sens on the road and a loss to the surging toronto maple leafs at home...the leafs have gotten points in their last nine games (6-0-3) and are right there on the playoff-bubble one point behind the sabres having played two more games than buffalo...

interesting playoff-bubble note...while all eyes have been on the canes, rangers sabres and now leafs, the nj devils are on an absolutely torrid pace right now...after snapping a four game losing streak to start the new calender year the devils are 19-2-2...yeah, you read that right 40 points out of a possible 46...yet, to show you how pathetic this team was in the first half of the season, they are still nine points out of a playoff spot with two games in hand...jacques lemaire...what more can you say except, it's a good thing the sabres didn't play them at all during that span...

gotta hope that the sabres can snag a point today...maybe enroth, if he is in fact getting the start, can work some magic...sometimes that happens, a clear favorite gets up-ended by a rookie goalie...


edit:  word from wgr--ryan miller gets the start...and...mike weber is up in the pressbox for today's game
