Sweet, Tasty Redemption

by Anne

The Buffalo Sabres finished off their home and home (with three days in between) with the New York Islanders with a shutout victory of their own to match the one they suffered against the Islanders on Halloween

The Sabres won 3-0!

• Most impressively Derek Roy, Tim Kennedy and Clarke MacArthur were undefeated in the playoff circle, going 21-0. Royzie went 14-0. That is totally bonkers.
  

• All in all, the Sabres were 38-9 in the faceoff circle
  

• Royzie also scored his first goal of the season (thank the LORD)
  

• Therefore, Royzie was named the game's first star
  

• Ryan Miller got a REAL shutout, not a "Ryan Miller" Shutout (see glossary). He made 24 saves.
  

• Matty Ellis had 6 shots on goal, a team high.
  

• For some reason, Thomas Vanek only played 11:47 yet had two points (1+1). I hope he didn't get hurt
  

• Pat Kaleta decided it would be a good idea to take a totally bone-headed penalty and shove an Islander into Marty. Marty responded:

Hahahaha, Marty

Boys, boys, boys

• Towards the end of the game, after Goose's goal was allowed, the Arena and all its inhabitants joined in a rousing chorus of "Sweet Caroline." It was fun
  

• I thought there was a Kings game tonight, but I was wrong. Sad, sad times
  

• The Sabres face the Flames at home on Friday. IGGY!

Hi Iggy!
