EXCEPT THE KID CAN'T GET ANY MOMENTUM 'CAUSE THE COACH IS AN ASS!!!Price: "We played great for 55 mins then sat on our ass and let them come to us."
This! This is exactly what happened! THIS IS WHY I HATE YOU, TEAM!!!
The kid bested Olympic silver medalist/Vezina winner/MVP/American hero/God of Buffalo Ryan "YoMammaWeen" Miller, making 40 saves on 42 shots in a game he would have blanked the FUCKING DIVISION LEADER, a game the Sabres had no business winning, and the Habs just HAD TO FUCK IT UP. How in the bloody hell can this team not be inspired to shut it down with 5 minutes left from his effort? Why do I keep asking this? WHAT HAS HE DONE TO BE SO ROYALLY FUCKED BY THIS TEAM NIGHT AFTER NIGHT?! How the hell do they suddenly forget how to chip a puck out and deep or to out-work and battle for the puck to get an empty netter when they were doing it all night?! (Except the empty netter thing, though they missed wide open nets all night so that's almost the same thing). Why do they insist on blocking a shot he would have saved and allowing the puck to float to an open undefended man with a wide open net? Why do they insist on getting in his way every time he tried to grab a rebound?
WE NEED SOME KIND OF EXORCISM HERE.
THIS is the Buffalo Sabres. THIS is a team you DO NOT WANT TO GO TO A SHOOTOUT WITH! Not only do their guys always score in shootouts, but then there's Ryan Fucking Miller to deal with. This is not the fucking Oilers!!!
And YOU, Coach. You are a supposed defensive specialist yet you put out Cammy and AK46 with 2 minutes left to protect a lead?! Especially since this is Cammy's first game back from that knee injury.
All it took was one stupid penalty to ruin a perfect game and one missed penalty (Pleky's stick was being held) would have saved that. All because, unlike Martin, Lindy Ruff whined to the refs about all the penalties his team was getting. NEWSFLASH LINDY, THEY WERE ACTUAL PENALTIES! SUCK IT UP AND KILL THEM! Just like ours were actual penalties. All 6 in a fucking row. But call it even please. I hate it when a ref decides to even the score, and ignore everything the other team was doing (actually there were TWO holds on that play that were ignored).
And YOU! YOU UNGRATEFUL ASSHOLE FANS! HOW DARE YOU COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK AND PUT THE BLAME ON PRICE. Were you not watching the game? Do you not remember how Jaro was against the Sabres this year? That lovely 0.843 SV% of 10 goals on 64 shots sure is telling! Price's record? Before tonight, 2 goals on 65 shots, 1 win, 1 loss (a 1-0 shutout loss), and now an OT loss. New total of 4 goals on 107 shots for a glorious 0.962 SV%. And you know what? If the Habs meet the Sabres in the playoffs, HE SHOULD BE STARTING. None of the goals were weak. Like McSTFU said, there's only so much he can do when you can't fucking defend all of a sudden with 5 minutes left.
Thankfully the intelligent, actual fans fixed the Gazette a new one when Hickey's article got the title of "Price Blows it for Habs in Buffalo" leading me to believe the web editor was one of those trolls. And frankly I know Hickey doesn't watch the game when he's doing his write ups anyway. WE KNOW YOUR SECRETS! The title was quickly fixed. Of course it's not the first time they've erroneously slandered the kid. They once had an article on Martin doing net work with the forwards, as in he wanted them crashing the crease. The article's photo was of someone scoring on Price.
And if Martin had any balls he would play the kid tomorrow. However he's a stuck up git and we'll probably never see him play again until the next Buffalo game, which happens to be the 2nd game of a back-to-back night with the Flyers. I WILL BE SHOCKED, SO SHOCKED THAT I WILL KEEP AND MAYBE WEAR MY LATENDRESSE SHIRT, IF MARTIN PLAYS HIM TOMORROW OR AGAINST THE DEVILS. So while that average performance in a shootout loss against the Leafs gave Jaro the start against Ottawa (where the team didn't show up anyway), Price will get the shaft AGAIN. He isn't struggling this year. He's fucking snakebit this year! At least Markov gave him a pat on the back when he steamed off to the room after the game. I suspect a wall in Buffalo was destroyed.
Oh and praise hockey jesus Andrei Kostitsyn scored two fucking goals tonight. Yet still RDS complained. Actually they were too busy crying over Lapierre being benched when Pyatt deserves that spot way more than him. OH HEY WHO WAS GIVING THE SABRES FITS ALL NIGHT? TOMMY FUCKING PYATT, SERGEI ASSKICKER KOSTITSYN, AND DOMINIC FUCKING MOORE WHO KILLED ON FACEOFFS AND HELPED KILL A 4 MINUTES FOR BLEEDING PENALTY.
Thankfully the Buffalo media had brains, though why AK46 didn't get a star is pure homerism on their part, but they gave Price the 2nd. I'm surprised Miller wasn't given the first star though. This team would be seriously fucked without him. Hope they erect a statue in a square for Miller somewhere there.
AND YES I AM CAPS LOCK YELLING. And I feel better now. Blogs are good for yelling at the wall, especially when you live in an apartment building. I don't think the neighbors would appreciate me banging my head on the wall or smashing things.
