Staal Uses Boxer Head Fake and Sends the Sabres Back Home With a Loss Carolina 4 Sabres 3
What a game.
The Hurricanes last game saw them lose to the last place penguins, In this last game before the Olympic break the Hurricanes wanted to head off or out to Italy with a nice win. (The Hurricanes have 7 players going to the Olympics, and Laviolette is the USA Olympic Hockey Coach)
A’ la George Castanza ” leaving on a high note” In front of a Sellout Crowd Near 19,000 the Hurricanes defeated the Buffaloe Sabres 4-3 (SO). Justin williams saved the game when the sabres jumped ahead in the Shoot out then, Staal came in with a boxer like head fake and put one by Miller who had been battered with shots in the the overtime. The Hurricanes dominated the overtime period but couldnt solve Miller.
A nice Recap of the game can be found here.
This game had an almost playoff like feel to it. I cannot to watch the hurricanes win the Cup this year.
