Buffalo Sabres 3 Monreal Candiens 2 F SO

by Steve

The Sabres marched into the Bell Centre in Montreal and won their fourth straight (@ Montreal) in a ballsy win. They headed into the third period down two and just took over. This was a great win by a team that 100% embarrassed themselves on Saturday night.

It wasn't a must win game for Buffalo but a quick bounce back victory helps to heal the wounds of an ugly thrashing at the hands of the Bruins. The Sabres dominated in the shoot out tonight after an up and down over time where both teams had to kill power plays.

Additional insights:
  • Lindy Ruff actually shortened his bench and played his "stars" more than a couple of 4th line scrubs, rare. And what do you know, it worked.
  • I hate Erik Cole's face.
  • Thomas Vanek is a man beast
  • Everyone loves to hate Derek Roy and hates to love him (if there is a difference) buy the guy is super talented and has a good contract even if he is soft.
  • Surprisingly the Montreal fans were a no show, maybe it is because the Sabres absolutely owned the third period scoring two goals to tie it.
  • Why again did the Sabres sign Christian Ehrhoff to a million year contract?
  • I wouldn't mind giving Nathan Gerbe a bit more ice time.
  • Carey Price ever participate in a shoot out before?
  • Why the hell is Ville Leino always laying on the ice?
  • Sekera and Gragnani, not a bad pairing even if a bit shaky in their own zone.
  • Tyler Myers who? I kid I kid.
  • Will Jhonas Enroth ever lose ever?
