Sabres Lay A Big Flamingo Egg In Florida

What a bunch of thieves.  The Sabres stole their paychecks in a 6 to 2 loss to the Florida Panthers Friday night.  They obviously weren't ready to play in the first period.   They were down 1-nothing after less than two minutes and 4-nothing after the first period.  It was 5-nothing before they finally scored a goal of their own.  And everybody is to blame - from the forwards to the defensemen to goaltender Ryan Miller who was pulled after the first period in favor of Patrick Lalime.  This was a true team loss.  Was it a case of enjoying the warmer Florida weather just a little too much?  Maybe they thought they were on vacation because they certainly weren't thinking about getting the job done.   As for me, I can't believe I watched the whole thing.  This game was over in the first period.  What a way to spend a Friday night.  The Sabres continue their two-game Florida swing Saturday night at Tampa Bay.
