Boom Boom...Out Go The Lights

Well, in the middle of the Sabres-Bruins hockey the lights went out in Moronica. Hmm, Maybe Vicki Lawrence can make a song out of that but I digress. The winds were predicted to howl last night and howl they did but they were not even singing at full speed yet when the area went dark. I have to give kudos to RG&E as they had the power back up in 90 minutes. We have had winds in this area much stronger than what we had last night without barely a flicker but out they went.
At least the lights came back on in time for me to see the Sabres beat the Bruins in a shootout. It looks like the Sabres, now relatively healthy and despite Mindy Ruff's horrible system and coaching ability, are trying to make a run at the playoffs again. They did it last year only to run out of gas in the playoffs.The season started off so well and the turn in it came when Milan Lucic ran Sabre goalie Ryan Miller and left him with a concussion. The thing was that nobody turned out Lucic's lights after it happened. The team pussified when it should have gone into caveman mode. Now I am not a fan of the big time brawls, and I have seen a couple of doozies between these two teams, but if there was ever a time for an all out brawl between two teams that was the time. Nobody came to Miller's defense and it was a sad sight to see. This, I believe, led to the Sabres slide down to the bottom, not the injuries that the Sabre hierarchy claims was the reason.
