Without Pominville snapping a 17 game goal drought and Rivet finally playing like the Rivet we all expected, this would be a "the season is over" post. I mean c'mon. They were up by three goals twice! I don't care if San Jose is the best team in the league or the best team in the world Up three goals at home against a team running out of gas, and you cough up the lead, like that was the plan all along. Brutal.
Not only would this be a 'the season is over' post it would be a Ryan Miller sucks post. Or a where is Drury and Briere post. Suffice to say, it would have gotten real ugly real fast. But the Sabres got the clutch goal with 4 seconds left to tie the game. They stole two points winning a lamesauce shoot out. So everything is fine and dandy right? Well not really, we'll see what happens tomorrow against Carolina.
But back to the game. WHY CAN THIS FRANCHISE NOT FIND A BACKUP GOALIE WITH SHIT? Isn't it painfully obvious Ryan Millsie Miller is over worked? He has played well this season but he's also played something like the 3rd most games in the league. WTF. Is this not the same thing that happens every year around this time? The goalie starts giving up softies, the team starts losing, and things precipitously collapse. Either play Lalime or get another goalie that can play at least once every two weeks. shiaat.
A few more things:
- Is this the signature game for Craig Rivet where he truly becomes the captain of this team and continues to make plays?
- I feel Jason Pommers Pominville is bout to explode with say 2 goals in his next 17 games.
- Gerbe needs to start scoring or stay in Portland. He is too young and needs to keep his confidence up. He did play well yesterday though.
- So is it now only 2 - 3 weeks for Vanek? Can't come soon enough.
- Shoot outs suck, who didn't want that game to just keep goin in overtime?
