    he killed the penalty... must have only been a stinger (unless he has a concussion, dislocated shoulder, cracked shoulderblade, and broken neck between C4 and C5!) he'll play tonight, record a PP assist and then be promptly placed on long term injured reserve to clear cap space.

    I think the official term is upper body injury

    I

    My Dream playoffs.

     

    1st round Bruins

    2nd Round Flyers

    3rd Round Leafs

    Finals Avs - just because they used to be in Quebec.

     

    I still pine for the old Adams Division. Go ahead. Call me whatever. I'm waiting :bag:

     

    Go Sabres :beer:

    1st Round -- Carolina (want their season to end early)

    2nd Round -- Thrashers (would be a wild series)

    3rd Round -- Anaheim (top two)

    4th Round -- Dallas (no need to explain)

     

    That would be tough, wild and would excise some demons

    I should apologize to everyone now. I was putting off getting Center Ice 'cause I thought I'd jinx the team. But I bought it this afternoon.

     

    I'm sorry.

     

    :oops:

    Welcome to the land of NHL Hockey every night. What a great concept, hockey when you want it. Provided of course you are not within the black out radius of a team.

    This is one of the most frustrating things about being a Buffalo sports fan IMHO. Everyone always wants a controversey...the guy on the bench is always better than the guy playing. Miller was the NHL 1st star of the month, is putting up better numbers than he was last year at this time. Not good enough for you? Sure he gave up 4 goals in each of his last 2 starts...His team also made 4 terrible mistakes that led to the 4 goals in Atlanta, and the team was sleepwalking through the first 50 minutes of the Boston game.

     

    I agree that they should split the weekend up, but looking at how things stand right now, tonight is a division game, against a team closer to us in the standings. That means you go with your starter.

     

    My reference to controversy is that it would go against the pattern to date. If the pattern holds, then Biron will get the start tomorrow night against the NYR. Judging by how Miller does at home, a case could be made that the goalies should be switched this weekend. This is not an argument for the guy on the bench. It is a simple look at the cold, hard facts. Miller, for whatever reason, is a better road goalie so far this year. And better by a significant margin. If the pattern of back-to-back games wasn't there, then the suggestion would never have been made.

     

    Miller is a very good goalie who will probably be given a night off in the next two games. So why not consider the statistics and make tonight his night? That was all there was to question.

     

    I don't get the reference at all to why you think this is an affliction of being a Buffalo sports fan.

     

    While tonight is a division game and has more importance, why not set up to win both by playing the odds? Biron in goal doesn't mean you take it any less seriously or that it is any less important. In fact, giving him an important game at home might just strengthen his play.

     

    Ruff has made his call, so this is an academic exercise/discussion now only.

    How about stirring up a little controversy? Replace Miller with Biron tonight. Why you ask? GAA home and away. Miller's is 1.72 on the road and 3.30 at home. Since he will most likely sit the next night anyway, why not give Biron a chance at home and start Miller against the NYR?

    Boston surprised Ottawa Saturday night beating them 2-1. This came on the heals of Ottawa smashing Toronto in two straight games. Ottawa had a 5-3 PP chance against Boston and couldn't cash in. Then Chara came back to haunt them scoring the game winner. I was reading the Ottawa site before the game and no one saw that coming. Boston should be dealt with, but not taken lightly.

    "Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey ^(& he is. Hallelujah. Holy &(*&. Where's the Tylenol?"

    So I take it you and Frank are close. <_<

    This Atlanta team is hot. Considering they are in the middle of a road swing, they have managed to pick up points even when they weren't their best. They beat the Panthers solidly. They got behind in Carolina and lost in a shootout and then got behind in Philly and lost in a shoot out. Let's just give them an old fashion loss tonight. The zero points kind.

    Well, if you want to cross seasons, a win tonight would give us our 15th straight regular season win. :)

    I don't think crossing seasons is valid in my mind. I keep hearing that. It is nice, but shouldn't count or matter. We lost a few games on the way to the ECF.
