Some thoughts on the game I enjoyed last night. This was the first MSG feed I've seen, thanks to the NHL ice preview.
Great game by Ryan Miller. I'm pissed that they allowed that weak shot to be called a goal. How many times this year has a shutout been lost in the last minute?
Everytime Awinagainov gets the puck I scream like a schoolgirl. The guy is amazing with his speed and puck handling.
I'm still not used to seeing our uniforms. My wife, not a hockey fan was wondering which team the Sabres were. "Ugh - those are ugly jerseys. What is that big yellow thing on the chest?" Chicago - you got slugged!
Chicago isn't very good. Their goalie played one hell of a game. Seemed like the Sabres were toying with them all game.
Rob Ray on the intermission show is great. I loved the guy as a player and like his commentary on the game.
Does Labatts Beer allow other commercials to run during breaks?
On a personal note, I was able to watch the game with my three week old son, so my wife got three straight hours of sleep. Gentlemen - if you are a new dad, Gripe Water is your friend. A swig of Gripe Water and the little ones sleep without waking up with gas pains every ten minutes.
Beat the Leafs!
