What a game!

The "pitfall" game got the Sabres yet again (The team plays %&@#* lazy against so-called "crap" teams), but as per the norm this season, they bounced right back. Tonight, they got a cohesive effort on defense, and Miller was again stellar. What do those who tried to piss on Miller after his injury (JD) have to say now? 2 goals allowed in 2 starts after his injury isn't bad, is it? :scooter:

It is great to have such depth at goaltending.
