Now this was more to Ryan Miller's liking.
Unhappy with the Sabres' last outing, the goaltender was impressed with the patience Buffalo displayed in a 4-3 win over the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night. Not only did the Sabres beat the opportunistic and defensive-minded Devils at their own game, the win moved Buffalo closer to clinching the Eastern Conference title. Not a bad way for the Sabres to bounce back from a sloppy 4-1 loss at Toronto last weekend, a game in which the goalie questioned his team's effort.
"We got the rewards for playing the right way," said Miller, who stopped 28 shots. "The Devils play a very patient system that benefits them come playoff time.
"And we feel if we can play against that, we can play against a lot of teams in this league."
