We got nothing. This is crazy! It's one thing to have a four game losing streak where the games are somewhat close, but the last four Bruins games have been 3-0, 3-1, 6-1, and last night's 7-1 loss in Buffalo.
Last night's game was pathetic. Buffalo hit the ice running, got the lead, and never looked back. Meanwhile, the Bruins were happy to eat the Sabres' dust.
Buffalo scored two early goals in the first period. Buffalo's first came after Chara and Donovan were called on undisciplined penalites. Buffalo easily got the puck in the net on a 5 on 3 power play. A couple minutes later, Drury scored for Buffalo on the power play again. Towards the end of the period, Glen Murray's drive went in on a 5 on 3 power play. It was truly a lucky goal. The drive should have been saved, and the only reason Buffalo was two men down was because of a cheap shot that injured Krejci (I agree, it sucks to get injured in your first NHL game).
It went downhill from their. The Sabres had an amazing second period in which Daniel Briere scored two goals and Jason Pominville had a shorthanded goal. That along with another goal on Toivonen put Buffalo up by 5. In the third period, Briere added his third of the game and Buffalo won 7-1.
One last Note: Wednesday's Boston Globe says that Milan Jurcina may be traded.
