Well, goaltending was the difference tonight. I don’t think you can even point to the shot differential, becuase Buffalo had more than enough quality scoring chances to win this game. Miller let in two weak ones from the top of the faceoff circle, and Raycroft played huge. Put those two breakaways in and it’s a whole different game.
Couldn’t get a bounce to save our lives tonight either. I saw 3 trickle just wide, and not only did they not go in but there was no one to put them home.
Gotta give Toronto credit too. They didn’t waste a bunch of energy running around like a bunch of goons and played smart enough to stay out of the box.
