RYAN MILLER GETS THE SABERS A 3-2 SHOOTOUT WIN


Last night in Buffalo, the Montreal Canadiens were playing well against the Sabers with having a 2 goal lead with 2 goals By Andrei Kostitsyn. The game looked like it was over. But it wasn't. As Ryan Miller kept the Sabers in with save after save. Which eventually lead to this.The Sabers had a powerplay with 2 minutes left in the 3rd so they pulled their goalie and got a goal by Tim Connolly to put them within 1. Then Steve Montador tied it with 49.1 seconds to go. The game went to a shootout where Pominville and Vanek scored to get the Sabers the win."It was an ugly game but we'll take the two points," Vanek said. "We talked about getting pucks to the net and going hard to the net and capitalizing on some rebounds. It took 58 minutes to finally get one. I think we all know that we can be better, and we will be better."

I have just 2 questions for Jacques Martin. Why would you keep the same line on right after your team just gave up a goal? My other question is: Why didn't you call a time out after the Sabers scored? Because if he were to call the time out he would have slowed down the pace of the game and Montreal would have won. "I'm not happy whatsoever," Price said. "Not one bit. We got to find a way to get that done. That's a point we need, and we need to find a way to do it. We played hard for 55 minutes and after that we just sat ... and let them come to us." The Habs won't have to wait long for their next game. As they host the Panthers tonight.
