Buffalo beats floundering flyers
Buffalo 4 – Philadelphia 2 The Sabres treated their fans attending the second last home game to a well-earned victory.
UPL posted a save percentage of over 900 and allowed only two goals as well as playing the last four minutes of the game 6 on 5 after HC Tortorella pulled his rookie goaltender.
Mr. Dahlin becomes only the second Sabres defenseman to score 19 goals, and recently back from injury Mr. Quinn scores twice along with Mr. Thompson earning a goal and an assist.
Buffalo scored first and kept most of Philadelphia’s misleading high shots on goal total to the outside as Mr. Luukkonen posted a .941 save percentage.
When Philadelphia scored to get within one, HC Granato during a “TV” timeout stormed up and down the bench with less than seven minutes remaining telling the boys what they are not doing and what they should be doing.
The team responded quickly with Mr. Quinn’s second tally of the night to take back the two goal lead and the eventual win.

Congrats on the win!
Played the last four minutes of the game 6 on 5? Four minutes? That is extremely impressive!

Thanks,
It was fun to watch.
The flyers played some good puck possession and Buffalo at times just went with icing over and over to kill the clock, UPL, our goaltender Mr. Luukkonen has been playing very well since January and he was at the top of his game last night.
Additionally Philadelphia is fighting for a playoff seeding so to pull their goalie with four minutes remaining in the game was a solid move.
