Their 5-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers was borne out of too many trips to the penalty box, a lineup thinned by injuries and an offense that generated few quality scoring chances until a pair of window-dressing goals in the final 10 minutes.' … [Read more...] about Sabres Takeaways: Not much going on in bland loss in Philly
