(WGR 550) -- Two of Buffalo's biggest were the main topics of conversation at Wednesday's Sabres practice.
Paul Gaustad will return to the line-up when the Sabres host Tampa Bay at 7 p.m. Thursday. He said the only hindrance his injured thumb will provide is not being able to shake his glove off, as he'll wear a soft cast on his thumb. He doesn't expect it to hurt his ability to take face-offs, and he skated with Patrick Kaleta and Andrew Peters at practice.
================
Mair was fined the league-maximum $2,500 for an incident in the hallway connecting the Sabres and Senators dressing room after Buffalo's 5-2 loss to Ottawa.
When asked what he was trying to communicate to the Senators, he said, "We don't play those guys until January, so I wanted to wish them a Happy Halloween."
What did they say back?
"I think they said Merry Christmas."
The Buffalo News' John Vogl asked if Mair was trying to talk to Chris Neil or Jaarko Ruutu?
"It's Halloween for everybody, John."
=================================
Lindy Ruff said Tim Connolly's return is doubtful for this weekend, despite his full taking part in Wednesday practice. He said he's been wrong on his status several times, so he didn't want to comment on a return date.
