Get your goose bumps ready.
It was more than just a hockey game in Boston. It was a chance for the people of Boston to show they will not be defeated by evil. It was a chance for the whole country to begin the healing process after the Boston Marathon bombings. It began with the Bruins fans singing the National Anthem in honor of the bombing victims. And what a classy way to end what turned out to be a great game -- both teams stayed on the ice to salute the fans.
The Buffalo Sabres seemed to run out of gas in their game with the Boston Bruins Sunday night at First Niagara Center. The Sabres gave up a third period power play goal to break a 1-1 tie and the Bruins went on to a 3-1 victory.
It's the difference between what kind of team they could be and what they too often are. But for one night the Buffalo Sabres showed how impressive they can be, putting it all together in a 7-4 over the Bruins in Boston. Thomas Vanek leading the way with his second five-point game of the season. Vanek scoring three goals and assisting on two others and now leads the NHL in scoring.
On Tuesday, the Buffalo Sabres announced their 2012 preseason schedule. There will be a total of 7 games played, 3 of them being at the First Niagara Center. The preseason opens up with a game on Monday, September 4th in Montreal. After that, the Sabres head home for two games....1 against the Bruins on September 26th...and the other against the Toronto Maple leafs, which will be played on Friday, September 28th. Here is what the rest of the preseason schedule looks like.....
The Sabres played a solid 40 minutes in Boston Thursday night. The final 20 minutes cost them though. The Sabres were holding on to a 1-0 lead late in the second period when a turnover off the stick of newly aquired Cody Hodgson went to a Bruin and a deflected shot tied the game. Then in the third period the Bruins were the better team putting on heavy pressure on the Sabres until finally breaking thru for a pair of goals in a 3-1 win.
Last Saturday night the Buffalo Sabres took on the Boston Bruins in Boston. It was a game that turned out to be a disaster for the Sabres. They lost the game and their starting goaltender ended up with a concussion after a controversial hit. But, something special happened that night too.
If you are a Buffalo Sabres fan, you can't help but be angry about what happened in Saturday night's game. Milan Lucic literally bulldozed Ryan Miller in Saturday's game.
It's one thing if your team can score goals. It's something different altogether when they find themselves scoring...on themselves. (To be fair, it came off the faceoff and just slipped by the goalie) Check out the goal as Boston took on Montreal on Thursday night.
Another year gone by and another team gets to hoist the cup. But it's still not the Buffalo Sabres. We're still waiting for our day to come. It must be hard to live in Boston and go from the Red Socks to the Patriots to the Bruins (and sometimes the Celtics) winning championship after championship.
Boston Bruins fans thought they were going to a hockey game last night, but ended up witnessing real life Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots. There were three fights in the first four seconds of the game, one on each drop of the puck
