Well the 3 game road trip through eastern Canada (Sorry Buffalo, but alot of your fans live in Hamilton) and with a 2-0-1 record you would think things in Sutterville would be all rosy. BUT they aren't. The numbers in the 3 games look like this;
Montreal 1-0 win, pp 1-3, pk 3-3, Shots for 31 against 25
Buffalo 2-1 SO loss, pp 0-4, pk 3-4, Shots for 26 against 33
Toronto 5-2 win, pp 1-2, 3-5, Shots for 22 against 40 YES 40
Summary 2-0-1 PP 2-9, PK 9-12 Shots for 79 AGAINST 98
I know Brent was not happy after last nights win versus the Leafs and they left the ACC quickly before the OPP arrived to investigate the 2 point robbery.
As happy that I am the team was successful on the road, I am also concerned that we are reverting back to the old ways of Iggy scores, Kipper saves, How did we do?. I was ery happy at the start of the season, as we all 4 lines going and scoring from everyone.
The team returns home to face Colorado on Tuesday and Chicago on Thursday before hitting the road again. I am pretty sure Brent will have the guys working hard Monday, which will be an up tempo practise. The good thing about winning a few games you shouldn't is that you won those games.

How can someone from Alberta comment on how many Sabres fans drive from Hamilton over to Buffalo for home games at HSBC? That is simply ludicrous.
I little over done here. The Sabres game was a great defensive game the Montreal game was good too in our favour and our goalie and captain stole a game from the leafs. I wouldn't over analyze this too much. I'm sure sutter is just upset with the TO game and clearly he had a feeling or he would have started mac
