Just got done watching the game...they fucked me on Center Ice by cancelling the feed for the Sabres I had DVR'd, so I had to watch the fucking replay. Anyway, my take is that the Sabres really played under control, dominated early, and then kept the Devils in a bottle the rest of the night after getting the two goal lead.
My 3 stars: 1. Kennedy - Nice job getting your first goal! 2. Pominville - a goal and a great play with his skates after breaking his stick (yet again). 3. Montador - He was awesome on defense and colelcted a couple assists.
Tough night for Rivet...he seemed to give the puck up a lot and didn't play with any authority.
Another solid night for Miller, who right now is playing the best net of his career.
Myers had one bad turnover, but again was just a dominant player who not only will be kept on the roster, but will not be off of it again, barring injury, for the next 15-20 years.
The 4th line was awesome all night, probably our best, and Goose came up huge on that incredible feed from Ellis. Kaleta was a force again tonight, too.
What's with Roy? He is just way, way off right now, carrying over his dreadful play the final quarter of last season. I'm really starting to wonder if it's just a slump or something worse. Terrible turnovers trying to get fancy carrying in the puck, a stupid penalty toward the end of the game, and no impact whatsoever.
Okay, no more bitching...
Great night, and a thumbs up to the General for another solid game and a huge goal to get us going.
