BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Sidney Crosby still has Ryan Millers number after scoring a highlight-reel go-ahead goal in Pittsburghs 5-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night. Thats fine with Penguins coach Dan Bylsma, so long as that trend doesnt continue once the Winter Games open next week. "I was cheering the goal this time," said Bylsma, who will be switching hats in Sochi, where he will be coaching Miller on the U.S. team. "It did dawn on me as Sid was going in and he scores that goal." Crosby, Canadas captain, had a goal and assist in a pre-Olympic tuneup in which the Eastern Conference-leading Penguins (40-15-2) set a franchise record by reaching 40 wins in 57 games. That eclipsed the previous mark of 40 wins in 65 games in 1995-96. Evgeni Malkin, James Neal, Brian Gibbons and minor-league call-up Harry Zolnierczyk also scored in a game the Penguins overcame a 1-0 deficit. Drew Stafford scored for the NHLs worst team, and Miller finished with 29 saves. Buffalo (15-33-8) dropped to 4-9-4 in its past 17 and winless in its last eight home games (0-5-3). Thats the Sabres worst home stretch since opening the season 0-8-1. For Crosby, he scored his first goal in six games and also ended a two-game point drought. That it happened against Buffalo and Miller shouldnt come as a surprise. Crosby has at least a point in all 14 trips to Buffalo (9 goals and 13 assists). And he has been particularly sharp at beating Miller, including the gold-medal winning overtime goal in Canadas 3-2 victory at the Vancouver Games four years ago. "He made some big saves tonight," Crosby said in defence of Miller. "Cant blame him. He held his team in it. And we scored some nice goals." The performance didnt sit well with Miller, but he doesnt think it will carry over to the Olympics. "Its game-by-game. Stuff happens out there and you reset," Miller said. Sabres coach Ted Nolan had his goalies back. "That had nothing to do with Ryan tonight," Nolan said. "It was the guys in front of him. Our team, we need everyone. We had a couple of guys no-show tonight." That was evident on Crosbys goal, which came on the power play 2:08 into the second period, and put the Penguins up 2-1. Immediately after Marc-Andre Fleury stopped Buffalos Brian Flynn in close, Crosby circled his own net and built up a head of steam by driving up the left wing. Accepting Matt Niskanens pass while crossing centre, Crosby didnt break stride in cutting between Flynn and Mike Weber. He then drove toward the net and snapped a shot just inside the top right corner. Neal joked that hes seen Crosby score goals like that so many times that he didnt even celebrate, but instead simply headed to the bench. Miller had no chance some 17 minutes later, when Malkin scored on the breakaway. Pouncing on Marcus Folignos turnover inside the Penguins blue line, Malkin streaked past flat-footed defender Jamie McBain. Driving in alone on Miller, he faked going right and went left to deposit the puck in the open side. Miller is one of the three U.S. goalies selected to play at Sochi, and the game against the Penguins was regarded his last chance to make a firsthand impression on Bylsma. Bylsma has yet to name his starter, and maintained that Millers performance on Wednesday would have no influence on his decision. Miller was coming off his worst outing of the season. He was benched after giving up five goals on 27 shots through two periods in a 7-1 loss at Colorado on Saturday. He allowed three goals on 28 shots through two periods before the floodgates opened in the third. Gibbons scored off a face off, and Neal on a transition break. "The first period we werent very sharp," Crosby said. "Yeah, we took a little bit of time to get going, but once we did, I felt like we did grab a lot of momentum there." NOTES: The Sabres played without D Tyler Myers, who hurt his right leg in a 3-2 loss to Edmonton on Monday. Coach Ted Nolan has not ruled out Myers from playing in their pre-Olympic break finale at Ottawa on Thursday. ... Zolnierczyk stepped into the lineup a day after being recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He replaced Taylor Pyatt (lower body), who was hurt in a 2-1 overtime win over Ottawa on Monday. ... The Penguins completed a three-game series sweep of the Sabres, and improved to 12-4 in their past 16 meetings. Denis Cheryshev Jersey . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. Cristiano Ronaldo Jersey . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No. http://www.realmadridsoccerpro.com/ . The 18th player to shoot 60 on the tour, Jamieson settled for par on the final hole when his 15-foot birdie chip grazed the edge of the hole and stayed out. After opening with rounds of 66 and 73 to make the cut by a stroke, he had 11 birdies in the bogey-free round. Pepe Jersey .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up. Fabio Coentrao Jersey . Vettel was 0.168 seconds faster than Red Bull teammate Mark Webber around the Suzuka circuit. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg was two tenths of a second off Vettel. "The car balance is decent, but I think we can still improve," Vettel said.With the holiday BPL gluttony now behind us and with a weekend off to catch its breath I was planning on recapping what to all intents and purposes was a highly captivating fortnight for the league. This coming in a season which has been more far unpredictable than what any encounter between a microphone and Rob Ford could possibly throw up. With the less than impressive 1-0 win against Stoke to open Liverpools campaign, the post-match chatter in the pubs which surround Anfield wasnt about being top of the pops Christmas Day. That very same mid-August afternoon not too many leaving the Emirates would have forsaken their post-match pint in favour of popping down the bookies and investing their hard earned wages on a first title in a decade for the red half of North London. On the football side of things memorable individual moments, and dire team performances captures the essence of the Barclays Premier League season to date. Most regrettably, and with the whole world and Sepp Blatter watching in, all has been compromised by the dark art of players masquerading as modern day Victorian era circus acts of the most fraudulent type. Placing significant doubt in the minds of the officials and kidnapping our emotions as they lay prone. Distorting and destroying the beautiful game as they go. All motivated by their singular vain attempts to hijack the outcomes of matches. In what could have been termed in the past as isolated incidents has now manifested itself into a league-wide epidemic. In the lead up to the holidays the UEFA President discussed this contagious virus with a media outlet, Professor Platini offering up the idea of introducing Rugbys Sin Bin to the football pitch. Where similar to our Ice Hockey Penalty Box, players are banished for upwards of 15 minutes at a time. In theory it sounds plausible. The reaction though to this temporary banishment would simply be for teams to shut up shop as the head coach signals for the team bus. All of course worked and perfected on during the week on the practice pitch. In doing so Joe Public gets robbed of their paid for 90-minute full on football experience. As I have repeatedly stated until going completely blue in the face, why for the life of me Goal Line Technology was introduced ahead of establishing the ways and means to eradicate this most unpleasant of aspects in soccer is beyond any rational reason or purpose. Blame the International Football Association Board, the games rule makers, all you want Michel but please do remind me how many times has the issue of fake goals showed up so far this BPL season? Meanwhile Manchester Uniteds Ashley Young and Adnan Januzaj have formed the most destructive double act in all of world football. As your holiday viewing pleasure was spoiled Sepp lets not get all reactive. Instead we need to thoroughly examine and analyze the root causes. Im no rocket scientist but even Ive observed from the comfy confines of my local microbrewery emporium player simulation [dive is a four-letter word after all] occurs either inside or within close proximity to the opponents penalty area. Where, more often than not, a Gareth Bale occurs when matches are deadlocked. According to Opta, since August 2008 no other BPL player has been yyellow carded more often than the worlds most expensive footballer.dddddddddddd Dont go thinking this is a recent phenomenon. Thats an aberration. Jurgen Klinsmann may well be the BPL pioneer and he played for Spurs back in 1994/95. Players will continue to behave in this way as long as any potential reward on offer outweighs in their minds any inherent risks involved. Upping the yellow card to a red might achieve a desirable outcome in the short term. However deceiving officials is part and parcel of football for about as long as forwards have been deceiving defenders into blind alleys. As a species we are reliant on our deceptive abilities. Football cant wait for our slow-moving administrators to provide us with the solution. This particular macro problem requires a micro solution. Think local. As egos only do excuses clubs need to take the responsibility. That doesnt mean you lay the blame for defeat four-square with the officials Mr. Moyes. Do us a favour and next time a decision skews in the English Champions favour apologize on behalf of your vanquished opponent. Even better intervene during the actual incident itself. Right there in the heat of intense battle. Hows that for showing your badly behaving players the difference between what is right and wrong. If the influential folks behind Manchester Uniteds Red Issue fanzine feel compelled to take to the social media airwaves to let the manager know how they feel about cheating players they might be onto something. Yesterday some UK media pointed out that the purveyors of Red Issue was graciously well accepting of defeat against Spurs but most certainly let it be known in no uncertain terms they want to rid their beloved club of the cheats camouflaged as Manchester United players. Its time for the clubs and those who are paid the biggest bucks to carry the burden. Otherwise we might well witness a situation where a fan will take matters into their own hands. On New Years Day, at just about the same time Chelseas Oscar went all Hollywood on us we got a rather large hint of what that could possibly involve. When a Millwall fan could no longer take what he perceived to be a number of incorrect decisions going against his club. He then proceeded to invade the pitch, menacingly approach the referees assistant, grab his flag and rip it to shreds. Hell does indeed lack the fury of an upset Millwall supporter. I prefer though the measure that hits players hardest. Right there in their pockets. I recall a time when a predecessor of Arsene Wenger, the uncompromising Terry Neill was the guvnor of Highbury back in the late 1970s. An Arsenal man to the core who played for the club for over a decade, Neill hit upon after a rather novel solution following a particular sterile performance from the Gunners. In his post-match briefing with reporters Neill wasnt advocating bringing the players in the next day for a Sunday morning training session. Instead he was looking forward to the players coming into his office Monday morning and justifying why they should receive their weekly salary. Away with you Ashley, Adnan et al. Go home and explain that one to the missus.
