Despite Ryan Miller going down its not the goaltending thats crashing. The offense has all of a sudden gone from suspect to just plain bad. Patrick Lalime only let in two goals last night and the defense actually did a pretty decent job last night keeping shots to the outside.

The fact is that you cannot win games scoring no goals. They had their chances but for the second night in a row, no one was willing to pay the price to finish. It was very curious that Bill Guerin was a healthy scratch. The Sabres and Islanders have dealt in the past and with the need for scoring Guerin would be a nice fit seeing that the Sabres don't give up much to get him.

Thats beside the point. The fact is we lost to the Islanders, luckily Atlanta pulled a rabbit out of their hat and beat Carolina which leaves us in the same spot, just a little further out of 7th. I hope the reports are true that Thomas Vanek may be back this week.
