It's Miller time...Aftermath Sabres- 5 - Leafs-3

It's probably considered a sin in Pittsburgh to be happy that Ryan Miller is back, but I am, so whatever.

This is going to be a shit re-cap as Henrik and I were being bad and sharking around the internet for bad pictures of hockey boys...

I was reading a Buffalo blog today and they kept saying "The team played like they cared, and they actually protected Miller. Where was this team a month ago?"

I'll tell you where, out to lunch because they know Lalime is a joke. It didn't matter if the boys scored, Lalime was letting everything in, with a few lucky saves in between.

I was telling my friend (a Leaf's fan) yesterday how to not count Buffalo as an easy win because the boys were going to be battling hard in front of Miller. They did just that.

I was hoping Miller would channel Broduer and get a shut out his first game back. It was looking that way through 2 periods, but hey, they got the 2 points either way.



I think before the puck even drop Hecht made the game 1-0. Cujo didn't even know what had happened. I'm not quite sure how the puck even went in either. But it did, duh.



Minutes later 2-on-1 with Connolly and MacArthur makes it 2-0 Buffalo. I bet the Sabres are breathing a sigh of relief after they signed him to his sort of ridiculous contract that 1. he's scoring and 2. he hasn't shattered into a million peices like the fragile man he is.

The Leafs attempt to score and Miller says "What do you think I am, a skank like Lalime? This is how a real goalie plays." Or something along those lines.

It was all Sabres through the second as Paille scores a ridiculous top shelf goal and Connolly finds the back of the net again. Right as I was mentioning to Henrik that Cujo was probably getting pulled, exit stage right Cujo, enter Pogge. I have to give Pogge credit, he stood on his head and kept the Leafs in it.

Intermissions involved watching other games and feeding my dog saltine crackers as Henrik and I measure our boobs to make sure we can fit into little boy jerseys. By the way, we can. $74 customized jerseys, here we come.

I waited on the third period Buffalo meltdown, and sure enough it happened. An unlucky bounce off of Miller brought them with in 2. Then Kulemin scored, or something. Goose had something to say about that though, and got the cushion goal.

Sabres win. Rock.

Random...

Staffy and Ruff apparently aren't seeing eye to eye right now and Ruff considered benching Staffy. He told him he had to play hard last night or he would. He's probably too busy scheduling his summer with ETID or something, whatev's, Drew is metal.



Dom had a nice little first game against former team. Him and Schenner decided to mix it up a little. Whoa. Lukey is quite big compared to Dom, and we love both of them. Luckily nothing really happened.


Patrick Kaleta is adorable. We decided that Jason Spezza, Kevin Bieksa, and Zach Parise had some crazy love triangle, and the outcome was Patrick Kaleta.
