Well thats one way to snap a 10 game skid, by blowing out a division leader 10 to 1. The goals came quick and they came easy. With Hedberg unable to stop a beach ball in the first period, getting pulled 10 minutes in, to only come back to finish the game, to have the red light scorch his back again. In the end he gave up 7 goals on the night. The united Roy Vanek and Stafford line combined for 12 points, and 7 of the 10 goals. Roy coming back really helped this team on the offensive side, but only giving up 1 goal, a breakaway goal and limiting shots, it showed the Sabres still keep defense in mind. Defense is what will help the team win. Even keeping the hot Kovalchuk off the score sheet.
This may have been exactly what the doctor ordered before a 7 game trip, just to get everything off their backs and go concentrate on playing hockey. A good road trip and they crawl themselves into a playoff spot. They got the bad stuff out of the way in mid part of the season and it hasn't derailed their playoff hopes. 3 points out. Thats it, 3 points after losing 1o games in a row barely out of the playoffs. Now is the time to make a move. This team has the experience, it just has to believe in itself.
