Kind of hard to tell, but the Cap might have deflected Reinhart's shot just enough to send it off the post.

He affected the shot one way or another

Hard to believe a one inch wide stick was the difference. This team can definitely play with the best. Couple more pieces and the games will be even better to watch. This season awesome.

Guys, Skinner's game is in-tight scrappy goals. Not too many of them in OT or not at all in the shootout.

Skinner has 3 OT winners this year!

Separately:  what a great game that was.

I sure hope Bogo didn’t get hurt blocking OV’s shot at the end of regulation — it looked like he limped off.

Was Tennyson in for Pilut because Phil thought age would bring needed experience against the Caps? If not then why not play Pilut instead. Kid is patient with the puck and has good vision. 

In the postgrame presser HCPH said Pilut is out day-to-day with a LBI.

Just loving the compete level of this team. . . a little concerned about mounting injuries but this is the NHL, all teams have them and call-ups will have opportunities to play and learn.

Another GREAT showing from our team!

go Sabres. . .

Any time the Sabres can go into the home arena of the defending Cup Champs and earn a hard faught tie (you know what I mean) it's a good result.

I just watched the highlights and read part of a game day report on NHL.com.  It seems that it was a very good game.  Alex was Alex, but Eich was Eich, as well.  Jack is becoming a superstar right before our eyes.  Not to mention that other guy on D ... a star is born.

GO SABRES!!

That other guy on D was a mild disaster most of the night. Shakey play in the D and nuetral zones.

He was ONLY on the ice for a goal against every 3 minutes.    Better than anyone not named Pi here would've done. ;)
