Sabres' 'stress reliever': 7 takeaways from the first win of the season

'“That was a huge game for us tonight,” Tage Thompson acknowledged. “We needed to win that one, and I think everyone stepped up. It would be easy to put a lot of pressure on yourself and kind of cave on that and panic, especially when you’re down one early. We didn’t do that. We had a lot of composure, and I think that speaks volumes to the guys in the room and the confidence … [Read more...] about Sabres’ ‘stress reliever’: 7 takeaways from the first win of the season
