First half of first period an aberration
Buffalo 1 – Detroit 3 Two unfortunate breakaways early with one benefiting from a slow line change contributed to the first period’s imbalanced scoring.
From the second half of the first period until the end of the game, Buffalo barraged Detroit’s goaltender with a plethora of shots but to no avail as the Red Wings’ goalie played arguably one of his best games to date.
The Sabres outstanding 18 years old Left Wing Zach Benson continues to impress, last night on the power play he took possession of the puck from two Detroit defenders and their goaltender right on the front step.
Mister Benson proceeded to turn the Red Wings inside out and discombobulate them so thoroughly that he was able to calmly and precisely pass out from behind the goal line to an unmolested Mr. Thompson for the power play tally.
Buffalo visits Texas tomorrow for an eight o’clock start with the Stars.

Sometimes all it takes is a netminder who is in the zone the whole game or at least at points when it really counts.
Good on Zach Benson (only 18 years old wow) for his consistency, as you note, and impressing you and others.
As an aside, I’ve always really liked the word “discombobulate” because to me it seems like what it means.
Same for the Yiddish word “meschugina” which I use from time to time.
