No Playoffs for the Sabres

Buffalo was beaten 3-1 by the Montreal Canadiens last night, thus ending all hopes of sneaking in to the playoffs.  The Sabres (as has happened numerous times this year) did not play a complete 60 minute game and it cost them.  Ales Kotalik scored the only Sabre goal on the power play with 8 minutes left in the game.  Miller was on the bench also for that, a gamble that paid off but they couldn’t get anything before or after.  Habs goalie Carey Price was excellent, it really looks like they picked the right guy to put their hopes in.

Buffalo has one more game left to close out the season, facing off against the Boston Bruins.  Wonder if we’ll see Thibault or Numminen for that one.
