Vulgar Opinions: Sabres @ Rangers (3-3-13) Stars and Black Holes

Hooray!  We’re good at shootouts!

Stars:

1. Christian Ehrhoff – Another mountain of minutes, several great plays, and 6 shots on goal.
2. Steve Ott and Nathan Gerbe - The pests are playing their best at the moment.  Secondary scoring is dragging this team along right now.
3. Ryan Miller – Solid game that you hate to see him lose.

Unsung Hero:

• Drew Stafford - You did something!

The Robert Wade Niedermayer Memorial Black Holes:

1. Patrick Kaleta - The crappy part is that no one else really played bad.  And though the hit wasn’t all that bad, it was a dumb situation he put himself in and he deserves whatever the NHL hands down.

Unseen Goat:

• None.
