    It was a fun game to watch.  

    The stats say Levi had a bad game, but he made big saves early and gave them time to get their legs going before giving up a breakaway to Marner. 

    On the Sabres 1st goal, a PP goal, loved that Power actually didn't do the drop back pass on the PP and he got the puck into the zone, Olofsson got a shot off that went wide but Peterka recovered the puck, got it back to Power who made a nice pass back to JJ who buried it through a screen by Okposo which tied it at one.

    It was a typical Sabres TO game IMHO.  Both teams like to fly and they both did.  

    Thompson's goal was a beautiful strip of Marner for a SH breakaway.  Woll isn't stopping that.  Gave the Sabres their 1st lead of the game.

    Porn Stache got a hattie, but after each of his goals the Sabres answered back within a couple of minutes so TO never really got momentum going from those goals. 

    Johnson and Bryson each got very little ice time, but Johnson looked good including a great breakout pass on Skinner's goal.  Bryson was fine in extremely limited time.

    Greenway was solid at both ends of the ice.  A blocked shot of his set up Peterka on a breakaway.  And a rush with Peterka, Mittelstadt, and Greenway resulted in Greenway burying a rebound of Mitts.

    Dahlin was back to being Dahlin.  It was his shot that Tuch shouldered/elbowed in for the winner.

    The PK was effective, in no small part due to Levi.  They blanked them on their 1st 3 PPs but gave up 12 shots.  On their 4th PP, unfortunately they cleared the puck down ice.  Say unfortunately, because TO rushed the puck back up ice and got through the box with Matthews getting the puck in the slot with speed and he scored 5 hole.  You hate to see 5 hole goals, but it was arguably the best goal scorer in the league that netted it.  Maybe had they not been able to clear the zone, Matthews wouldn't have been able to get through that cleanly because he wouldn't have had a head of steam.  (Sometimes even though you make the good play, the other guys come back and make a better one.)

    Didn't see the 3rd TO goal.  It came 17 seconds into the 3rd also off the stick of Matthews from a sharp angle.  Expect Levi would like that one back, but again, didn't see it well so not sure if it was on him or the D.

    4th goal against came after a lost faceoff after an icing and Porn Stache deflected it with his stick even with or just below the cross bar.  No prayer for Levi on that one.

    The Sabres came to play.  They only had 11 F's and 7 D and the mixing and matching of lines and pairings worked.  They got a ton of shots and a ton of chances.  They were IMHO the better team tonight.  Like mentioned above, it was a fun game to watch.

    Thank you. After watching the replays, your description was perfect to complete the entire picture. I appreciate you taking the time to type that up.

    What forward scored a career high eight short handed goals for the Sabres in the 1974–1975 season?

     

    On October 30, 1971, what forward had the first three goal game of his NHL career in the Sabres 4–4 tie against the Canucks? 

     

    In 1978 who scored a hat trick to become the first player to score 300 goals as a member of  the Buffalo Sabres?

    No.....thank you, and all my fellow American citizens, for allowing me the privilege to serve. As as sure as I am speaking with you now, it is an honor like no other in my life.

     

    Even though I sent a goofy gif, just for laughs… I’m dead serious about being appreciative of men and women serving in the military. In my book you are the best among us. For reasons a few can’t comprehend. And I couldn’t care less who disagrees and why. So thanks again.
