    Tuuka Rask got a nice break during the Olympics - but of course OUR goalie didn't

    If the Sabres drop this series, I'm laying part of the blame on Miller being distracted by the Olympics, and playing at Stanley Cup Levels for two weeks in February, and being a bit worn and frazzled now, when it counts, instead of during the useless, worthless Olympics.

    Tuuka Rask is doing a superb job in the Bruins net - of course he got a vacation in February - he didn't go 'all out' for two weeks.

      That is the dumbest thing I think I have seen here. This is a joke right?

      How about being out played, out hit, and a power play that is pathetic.

          I haven't followed hockey in a few years, last time I followed it the Sabres had a hard time scoring goals, that still the problem?

            So you don't think that a goalie getting a two week vacation in February, and playing fewer games, improves the goalie's effectiveness in the championship series?

              Come on man that is not the reason the Sabres lost. Stop making dumb excuses.

                    I said one factor among others. Obviously, the non-existent power play (what, ZERO goals in 18 or 19 P.Ps!?) is big. But if your goalie is fresher, and can stop one or two extra goals - I can't believe it isn't a factor.

                          I said back in February that it was foolish for Miller to expend himself in the Olympics and that it could hurt us in the playoffs.

                          And golly gee, Sabres out in the first round.

                          Clearly, some of you are slow on the uptake. I'm probably addressing a lot of B and C students here, maybe even some C- and D 'scholars' so I'll go over this point by point until you grok it.

                              Um, Miller played exceptionally well this series. His team let him down. Again.
