Ryan Miller carried his teammates from Buffalo to a Game 1 victory in Philadelphia. The goaltender stopped all 35 shots he saw at the Wells Fargo Center. Buffalo now has taken home ice advantage from Philadelphia in this #2 vs. #7 Eastern Conference 1st round series. 'Bob' the Flyers rookie goaltender stopped 24 of 25 shots he faced, not bad for his 1st playoff game. However it wasn't good enough, the lone goal he surrendered was the game winner. Both teams entered the 3rd period scoreless. Flyers bugaboo have been the power play, it didn't help them in Game 1. 0-5 including a short 2 man advantage, during the Flyers power play. Special teams and a lights out goaltender was truly the deference. Flyers lead Sabres 4-2 in their all time playoff series and in recent history, the winner of Game 1 between the teams, go on to win the series.
