monteal canadiens

With the worst home ice record in the National Hockey League it's a rare night when the Buffalo Sabres manage to win a game at First Niagara Center.  Friday night the Sabres held on to beat the Montreal Canadiens 6-4 with the help of a penalty shot goal and one into an empty net.

I've been a fan of the Buffalo Sabres since they began play in 1970.  I've missed very few games over the years but if there was ever one to miss it was Thursday night's game against the Montreal Canadiens.  It was obvious many of the Sabres have given up any hope of making the  playoffs when they didn't bother to show up.
