This comment at the Buffalo News article about the rest of the team needing to be like Vanek stopped me dead in my tracks:
Listen, exactly one year ago, would it have been plausible that the expectation for the 2011-2012 season would have been President’s trophy and Stanley Cup? Come on, really? Do you [...]
Okay, nice headline, nerd.
I missed the later goal when my wife came home after the second period, but I just can’t get too worked up over this loss. Miller played better, which was my main concern. There needs to be some more scoring. They didn’t take many shots, and when they did, [...]
