It's only been 4 days

 4 days and I'm back to posting! This a new record (at least for the last 15 years or so!) The Blog is officially back! (Now will anyone read my rambles? Who knows.. but I'm writing anyway!)

Since my last post, the Sabres managed an OT comeback win over Toronto (Owen Power- this guy is for REAL!) and then another come from behind to force OT against Montreal on Saturday only to lose on a goal from everyone's favorite Cauliflower (Caufield, whateve). Man I hate that guy playing against that guy. 

So, 4/6 road points against division rivals, a SO loss, OT win and OT loss wasn't a terrible way to end last week. I'd prefer 3 straight wins to giving up a point in that OT win, but also scrapping back in each of those games shows resilience and I like that. I just wish we didn't *have* to keep scrapping back to a tie. It's getting a little old. The Sabres desperately need a tighter D (to be fair, Dahlin was out for those 3 games and he is a HUGE part of our Defence) BUT STILL- maybe our goaltending needs to improve a bit... we KNOW that UPL can get the job done, but for some reason, he doesn't seem to be remembering it! 

I really want Lyon back. I picked him last year as my favorite Sabre (with Jack Quinn as #2 and he is coming along swimmingly) and he has been out since the Sep 26 preseason game with an unspecified "upper body injury" because it's hockey and we don't talk about Bruno (and by Bruno, I mean injuries.) It could be a decapitation or a hangnail, we don't get to know. (It looked at the video from the day it happened-- looked like some sort of shoulder tweak? ribs? WHO KNOWS?!) All I know is I want my guy back and maybe, just maybe, he can keep the GAA to less than 4 per game. (Only MAYBE but I'll take a maybe at this point!)

As if that is not rough enough, I got my The Hockey News Goalie Issue in the mail today, and they had an article about Lyon! Now if we can just get to see the real deal, I would be much happier. 

I'm going to Wednesday's game against the Flyers- hoping for a better return than the first game I went to (4-1 loss to Utah, what a drag).

Let's Go Buffalo!
