Sabres Playoff Game 1 - In The Books

     Good morning all, game one of the best of seven is in the books. The Sabres steal home ice advantage on a 1-0 shutout by Ryan Miller. His second career playoff shutout. Everyone watching the game last night can see Ryan is healthy and prepared for the intensity of playoff hockey. Patrick Kaleta scored an opportunistic lone goal in the third period for the Sabres. His second career playoff goal, first of these playoffs, and hopefully more.

    The Sabres and Flyers both played with fierce intensity. The Flyers put thirty five shots on goal tender Ryan Miller, some were heart stoppers for Sabres and Flyers fans alike. The Sabres put twenty five shots on Flyers goal tender Sergie Bobrovsky. He stopped twenty four of them. The Sabres PK killed off four penalties, including a 5 on 3 for :38 seconds. The keys to the game were surviving the short handed chances, Ryan Miller standing tall in net, and the Sabres keeping the Flyers off balance at both ends of the ice. All in all, the game was a roller coaster of emotions for both teams fans.

    Game two is Saturday night in Philly, opening face off puck drop at 5:00 pm est. I'm still wondering if last night was a dream or reality. Someone pinch me please, just in case! Good luck to the Flyers and Sabres.

Lets Go BUF-FA-LO!

Thanks all and Cheers from the Cheap Seats!
