Sabres fall in 1st meeting with Ottawa

I'm a little depressed. Ottawa played really well tonight. We didn't play as well. Ottawa scored first and stayed in command from that point on. We need to bounce back in Saturday's game. I'll be watching with intense excitement. I'm a little nervous, Ottawa looked good and made us lose one on our home ice. That doesn't sit well with me.

Ryan Miller played very strong in goal despite the loss. Afinogenov looked good too. Of course, Drury and Briere were good, but everyone was all over them. Lydman showed why he's good to have around.

I believe in Buffalo and I'm looking forward to game 2 in the HSBC Arena. I'm chalking this one up to nerves for some of our guys. Bring it on Ottawa, bring it on...
