10 Days, 10 Goals, 2 Victories
Buffalo 4 – Washington 2 Curious scheduling had Buffalo hosting Washington twice in a 10 day period in early April after dropping an overtime decision in our Nation’s Capital right before Thanksgiving.
In a physical and at times chaotic low shooting game Buffalo outplayed Washington in net, amidst good defense, and on the score sheet, as well as having to defend themselves against goonish play.
Surprisingly the Capitals goon wilson scored and was followed and imitated by fellow teammate and goon, TJ Oshie, both played a physically belligerent style resembling the Hanson Brothers.
Video replay confirmed TJ Goon literally “soccer kicked” Mr. Bryson up high on his leg while in the corner where the officials could not “see” the transgression committed, initially the announcers thought Mr. Bryson somehow had been injured during the play.
Tempers flared with seven seconds remaining resulting in an on ice donnybrook with Mr. Greenway grabbing hold of goon wilson before he could cause injury, Pacioretty and the great eight double teamed Mr. Thompson in a display of Washington frustration.
The Sabres play their final two road games to end the regular season in Florida versus the Panthers and Lightning.

Good to see the Buffalo Sabres end up with the win and no lasting serious injuries despite the goonish behaviour which they were subjected to.
It is a shame and I understand the frustration of Buffalo fans that Mr. Bryson had that exchange with Oshie considering earlier this week he had to leave the game against the Detroit Red Wings after he took a high stick, considered accidental I believe, from one of the Detroit players.
