This is about the Buffalo Sabres. Game 5. 0-0 with 3 minutes left in regulation, series ties 2-2. Then, the Rangers score.
It's hard not to think bad thoughts. Even though the Sabres spent the last two years showing us that they can come back, it's easier to think negative thoughts.
Thankfully, we have a little league world series champion as the captain. With but 8 seconds left in the game, Chris Drury scores to tie it. Rhona and I actually danced in our living room. She even scraped a knee on the table.
Ooooovvvverrtime.
In Game 4, the Sabres coach Lindy Ruff sat Max Afiniganov. But he played game 5. And he played great. And then, as if the hockey gods decided to give him one, he scored the winner. The dream is still alive. The Sabres are that much closer.
And that hockey game is the reason I'm a fan. I have a rooting interest, so the result is that much better. But I have to believe that anyone would have enjoyed that one. Holy smokes, what a game.
Sunday, here we come. Here are game 5 highlights.
