Sabres 1 Flyers 0 F game 4

by Steve

The Buffalo Sabres, while not mathematically needing to win, needed to win tonight and they did. It wasn't a pretty game, it wasn't a terribly exciting game but again a win is a win is a win even if it is another 1-0 final.

Ryan Millsie Miller bounced back after some mediocre performances to win game four tonight in Buffalo. He had 2-3 spectacular saves and let in zero but wasn't exactly challenged thoroughly the entire night. Philadelphia Flyers goalie Brian Boucher, for his part, played about as good and kept his team alive for 59 minutes.

The Sabres played decent, just enough to beat the Flyers. The powerplay was a complete 100% disaster. Why the ffffffk was Thomas Vanek on a line with Paul Gaustad and Pat Kaleta by the way? And why would anyone have a plan to just charge head first as fast as you can into the net on a 2 on 1? That Kaleta swan dive into the net when Vanek basically had a 2 on 0 late in the third period could have been a death knell. Oh well, maybe Richards will get suspended for the elbow he tried to forcibly install into Kaleta's skull.

A few more notes, Tyler Myers played like a mad man possessed by a demon. The young d corps didn't have a great day but when you give up zero goals it couldn't have been awful. There was a Tyler Ennis sighting for a change even if he still couldn't finish. Also how about a one game suspension for cheap shotter old man Kimmo Timonen for spearing Gerbe in the nut sack with 00:00 on the clock?

Everyone get ready for at least two more games in this closely contested wildly unpredictable series. Also hit up your religious weirdo family members for their tickets on Easter Sunday because game 6 starts at 3:00pm, prime family party time.
