Thomas Vanek remembered that he's supposed to score goals. This hockey game can be so hard sometimes!

Yesterday after the game, I was listening to the WGR post-game show and someone made a really good point - the Sabres won because everyone did their jobs. Miller is paid to be on of the best goalies in the world - he made 30 of 31 saves. Thomas Vanek is paid to be an offensive force - he had a goal and was all over the ice all night. Patrick Kaleta is paid to be a pest and provide some grit - he got the Bruins to come after him. It was the epitome of a team win, and everyone did what we pay them to do.

Jerry Sullivan makes my head explode by saying something positive about Buffalo sports.

Well, the problem is, he doesn’t have much positive to write. I mean, the Bills for the last 10 years? Really? Then he had two good Sabres years and then the team appeared to have imploded itself (I know…hindsight), but still, the last 10 years there haven’t been too many positive stories. He is more negative than the average writer, but he’s about as negative as the average Buffalo sports fan, which is why I think he’s lasted so long.
