THAT'S FOUR...
Marty Biron gets the last laugh as he blanks the Sabres 3-nill. Despite what Lindy Ruff called a good effort, the Sabres fail to even muster up one goal.
There were plenty of opportunities as Buffalo peppered 40 shots on Biron, but could not seem to find the broad side of the barn as all great scoring opportunities were met either by missed layups of the dinging sound of the post.
Drew Stafford continued his streak of offensive futility as he missed two layups, including one with an almost wide open net. The power play was shutout on two five on three opportunities of over one minute each.
Miller played OK, as he stopped 22 of 24 shots, giving up one goal on a breakaway. But, it appeared that he may have been napping on the second goal.
In all, you cannot in good faith blame Miller when the offense gets goose-egged. Posts, missed layups and wasted five on threes are the culprit here as the defensive effort was solid and Miller was good enough to at least get into OT.
Isles are in town tomorrow night and hopefully the bleeding gets stopped but I'm not holding my breath.
