game over. 8-5 sabres
call me crazy, but i'll take this 8-5 victory over an 8-0 shelacking. Goaltending was terrible. Defense sucked. penalty kill sucked. so did clearing the puck, neutral zone play, and for the most part there was zero sustained offensive zone play. With that said, this victory was a sure fire loss in the past. The sabres get their 2 points and now play for first place in the division against philly on saturday, with this crappy victory in their minds. I'm so glad to see this team pull off a victory in a game that they should have lost.
Now, bring on the 8-0 shelacking of a team that matters, the cryers.
