Campbell put a stop to Kaleta running around all night by picking an early fight with him. Visor boy threw a ton of punches and yet couldn't land even one of them. Campbell didn't have a scratch - except on his left hand from hitting Kaleta's plexiglass protector. Campbell stepping up definitely set the tone for this game. Scott was a non-factor as usual. In fact, the only Sabre who showed up was Ryan Miller. Boston dominated from start to finish.

Easy win Kaleta. Boiston Garden was right and most of those early punches hit helmet but I think the uppercut at the end of the first exchange turned things around. Campbell was done and took a couple more uppercuts along the way.

You are becoming quite useless smashem. Talking about Stanley Cup rings, open net goals, and Prust like some teenager that just had his first beer. I always thought more of you than others do but I am starting to hope you choke on your next Natural Light.

I hate when guys fight wearing a visor. What's the point?

Deduct two points from Kaleta.

[Wadubbin]

Win Kaleta.

I appreciate the concern over who I have winning this fight, however I'm waiting for the slo-mo, because I'm pretty sure 75% of those punches hit the back of Campbell's helmet. Not that Campbell had many options when Kaleta has a riot shield protection from any counter punches.

Wild punches look cool, but they rarely land clean.

Leave it to 29 to put a spin on things!

First, Campbell went looking for Kaleta and got beat down, period. HE looked for the fight so any whining about the visor right now really doesn't work.

Second, Scott was a factor. He takes the intimidation factor away. Last season we had Lucic running wild, Thornton coming off the bench to mug Weber etc. this season? Nope. Not a peep. Unfortunately for the Sabres that means its strictly a hockey game at that point and frankly... They suck.... But you weren't taking a page from the Red Wings fans again were you?

[Peters 76]

What a **** game. Honestly though, Bruins aren't so big and bad with Scott around. No one even looked his way.

Did Campbell grab Kaleta with his gloves already off? Did he not want that fight? The whining about the visor is ridiculous in this case. He got what he asked for.

I'm sure a lot of Kaletas punches hit helmet. Usually the way it goes in hockey fights. I'm also pretty sure at least one of those uppercuts landed. Dissect it frame by frame and let me know, will ya?

This reminded me of Newbury earlier this year. If you are going to instigate a fight with someone that has a visor on it is probably a good idea to try and pry the thing off before the fight gets going.

The season isn't over yet. And I honestly don't think the Bruins are as focused on Scott as you are. He does nothing to make his presence felt...unless someone politely asks him to fight.

Just wondering....

Did they get the "revenge" you wanted over in the game day thread?

Did Chara step up to Scott like you wanted?

How did that all work out for you? Why not watch the entire game in slo mo and I'm sure you can see Chara glancing in Scott's direction somewhere.

That's your honest opinion? Really?

Ask Thornton about Scott making his presence felt.

Take away all the Bruins Bravado and you could honestly say that Scott being on the bench doesn't change the tone of the Sabres/Briins games? I don't think YOU even believe it when you say that!

Last season they bullied the **** out of them. This season not even close. 0-2. What changed? I'm pretty sure it's not that Steve Ott is here.

Kaleta could have taken off the visor, it's not like Campbell started throwing immediately (ala Ryan White) once he got his gloves off. Kaleta stood there for a moment with his gloves on and he drew the instigator call.

No I didn't, it was another hype game that didn't pan out.

Now before you and Peters stick your chests out, Scott didn't exactly strike the fear in anyone tonight either like some Sabres fans make it out to be....in fact I'd say he was invisible.
