Well, it seems only Andrew Raycroft showed up for the game as the Boston Bruins played the Buffalo Sabres tonight in Buffalo. It took Joe Thorton and the crew almost 50 minutes to get into the game and by that time Raycroft was too worn out to stop anything.
The game was pretty close for the most part, but the Bruins just couldn’t get it past the Sabres goalie, Miller. He played a really good game, but so did Raycroft — the difference was that the Sabres actually put players on the ice that wanted to play.
You have to feel bad for the goalie when your own defensemen seem more content to pass the puck to the other team than clearing the zone.
Mike Sullivan has to have a heart-to-heart with the team before tomorrow night’s game. Raycroft look hurt at the end of this game, so we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see if he’ll play.

noramally i would be talking trash here, but i only hope the pens can generate some offense tonight. they had the opportunity to win the game in a shootout, but lemieux, palffy and crosby were all stoned by the ‘canes rookie golie.
it was another evening of sloppy passing and the ‘canes seemed to alway be pressurring the pens, but then it seems the pens put their share of pressure on the ‘canes as well… maybe result of the new rules.
at least they came away w/a point this time… i smell two points tonight

The Bs are having the same problem. They are putting a significant amount of pressure on their opponent, but they just can’t finish it off and actually score a goal.
