As promised.

Kept my eye on a few games last night, most notably the Sabres game and the Pens game.

As I watched buffalo take a nice lead on the Habs I began to wonder if Ryan Miller would get the shut out instead of just a win. The Habs ended up getting two by him but it in no way takes away from a well played overall game. Watching the slugs in the past when they would go up, you just knew a let down would come and their opponent would get back into the game and make games tight. Not great on the nerves. But now they are playing with confidence and one or two goals doesn't seem to change their game. Kudos for finally getting the dreaded system.

The Pens game was a different story. The Avalanche took an early lead and played a pretty good game until a late goal in the first sorta started the wheels coming off. Not to mention they didn't have Craig Anderson in goal (he was dinged by the Panther's Keith Ballard [who decided to take on goalies from other teams] who Adam Foote promptly beat the shit out of).

I think Sidney Crosby is on a personal mission to get his name on more trophies this year - maybe those of individual nature. If it were another player, I'd doubt his ability to keep it up but with Crosby, I don't think anything is impossible right now.

I don't think I like the new Pearl Jam tune. And the games tonight are boring. Good thing I won't be home.
