Observations: Second-period collapse costs Sabres in brutal loss to Ducks

'“We can divide that game up 50 different ways, the fact is you had more than enough opportunity to win that game just generating your scoring chances,” Granato added. “Teams that win Stanley Cups, they outscore their mistakes.

4 check: Defensive errors apparent in Sabres loss to Ducks

'It was another poor defensive outing for the Sabres. Turnovers were the killer on Monday and the Ducks took advantage of every opportunity the Sabres handed them. Buffalo had eight giveaways on the day to Anaheim’s three. Turning the puck over against a team like Anaheim is on the Sabres and less on the Ducks’ ability to create chaos.' … [Read more...] about 4 check: Defensive errors apparent in Sabres loss to Ducks
