A win against the Sabres with 2 top 6 players out of the lineup is not bad. No matter how close it was. This same Sabres team beat Colombus the other night.
FWIW the Sabres would have liked to have Bogosian, Beaulieu and maybe even Antipin on D rather than Nelson, Falk (even though he scored a goal) and Gorges. They had guys out too.
We managed to squeak this one out--Buchnevich and Nash have got some real chemistry going now. It will be interesting to see how they and Zibanejad do on the upcoming road trip.
Henrik again with another really good game. McDonagh and Skjei were very good. I liked Fast though he blew an empty netter. Lettieri continues to impress. One of the things I like about him is he plays with some edge. He's a real asshole at times. We need that. Holland's looked pretty decent so far. I like him a lot better than the guy we traded to get him.
