That game was painfully boring, but at least we pulled off the 2 points. Garon played very well.
How was it boring? It was a great game IMO. Much much better than the snooze fest against the Kings. Garon owns the Sabres. That save on Pominville was excellent.
And more Mikkelson point shots please. Dude has a cannon.

Question is do we risk playing Roloson tomorrow and giving the Pens 8 more goals for the weekend or do we hope Garon can play?
I would say if the Bolts allow the Pens to score 8 goals tomorrow it won't all be on the goalie - it will be more because the entire team forgets to show up. That said, might be better to keep rolling with Garon since he's in a groove. I don't know if Roli's ever going to be able to get into a groove without a lot of starts and so long as Garon is playing well he's not going to get a lot of starts.
Team is going to have to play well in front of no matter who is in net though.
According to Andreychuk, his legs are too short to reach the floor sitting on the bench, they just kinda hang there. So they don't get fully rested between shifts. Hence the chair.
That doesn't even sound right. What about the other little guys in the league? Did Dave make that up?
Fisticuffs. Big hits. Milan Lucic. Goals. In that order?
I'd say it's more like fights, hits, Lucic, McGrattan, and goonery in general, in that order. What is a goal?
In all seriousness, there have been plenty of good games without fights this season. I just found last night's game to lack emotion and intensity. There was very little physicality and although we carried a good pace (for the first 40 anyway), I felt like I was watching a scrimmage. Getting the win is always the most important thing, but as a fan of the sport I wasn't entertained by this one, that's all I'm saying. I was also listening to the Buffalo feed and the crowd and on-ice sounds were quite low while Rick Jeanneret's voice came across loudly, even more so than usual.

I can understand where you're coming from on this one, but I also understand how some games can be "emotionless" because 82 can be such a grind and I know I wouldn't be able to keep up the intensity for so long...I really don't have an opinion on this...
I want my team to win, and if it's a boring game so be it. However, I also get how I can watch an entire game (even if it's a win) and be like well that was anticlimactic...

You're absolutely right, no team is going to be fun to watch 82 games a season. Just my impressions on that game in particular.
