The Sabres started the game out slow but picked it up halfway through the 1st period. The shift before our first goal was when we really turned it on. Great defense and penalty killing from then on. Biron making some great saves as well, and we are having plenty of scoring chances. Nice passing as well.. not too many turnovers. We held the Devils to only 3 shots in the second period so lets hope we can carryon this momentum for the rest of the game.

So after typing that and finishing my game of NHL 2006 and turning off the PS2... the game is on now after all! I just caught the 3rd goal!

[JD]

Very good game go sabres! :jig:
