If Colborne plays, you have to think that Bollig will draw the short straw and sit. If Ferland gets sent down this afternoon, it will be a good sign that Colborne is ready.
Buffalo is one of those cities, like Toronto and Anaheim, where the Flames have traditionally done poorly. Last year's OT win was the first time the Flames left Buffalo with 2 points since 1996.
I just hope the Sabres aren't wearing that horrible third jersey again tonight.
Did you know... Zemgus Girgensons was Johnny Gaudreau's line mate the one season that Johnny played in Dubuque in the USHL. Girgensons was also the player drafted with the Flames' 14th overall pick in 2012 when the Flames traded down to get Jankowski and Sieloff.
Girgensons is also leading the NHL All Star game voting by a massive margin. He has more than twice as many votes as any other player, and most of his votes are coming from his homeland of Latvia.
