Buffalo Barrage Beats Blueshirts
Sabres 6 – Rangers 1 Captain Dahlin scored at the :26 second mark of the first period to give Buffalo a quick early 1-0 lead on the road versus a very good Rangers team.
Then a four goal onslaught in the second period chased New York’s number one netminder to the bench and Buffalo confidently took a 5-0 lead into the third period.
The “Bread Man” aka Artemi Panarin earned his 800th point on the Rangers lone goal, a loopy deflection that went up and over and into the net less than five minutes into the third period which was too little too late for New York.
A tough break for JJ Peterka having his goal called back on an offsides coach’s challenge but his assist along with all the other forwards recorded a point last night, the second time only and not since 30 seasons ago did Buffalo accomplish this offensive feat.
Buffalo did not sit back but continued to pressure and scored on the power play with eight minutes left in the game for the 6-1 victorious final.
Tomorrow afternoon at one o’clock the Sabres host the Calgary Flames downtown here along the Lake.

Buffalo Winter 
Your team is on the upswing with back to back strong wins. Congrats, Buffalo Winter.
While watching TV last night I had NHL scores up on my laptop and out of interest specifically followed the Buffalo Sabres game.
Fyi it was announced by Leafs PR a couple of hours ago is that Auston Matthews has been placed on IR retroactive to November 3.
On an unrelated note, I just wanted to share that the fantasy league I am playing in something strange happened yesterday. It appears that one team is having technical problems or the manager decided to drop out. From what I can tell most (but not all) of his players are off his team. Late last night I had gone to look at my team roster for today and that’s when I noticed on the Free Agents list that a bunch of good players were now available to be added –I can’t remember all the names of these players but my heart almost exploded when I saw Mitch Marner. Faster than a roadrunner I picked up #16 and a couple of others conditionally while dropping my underperforming players. We’ll see what happens. 🙂
I hope to watch the Leafs game tonight but I’m very cold after having returned from my walk and I’m not sure if I’ll stay awake. Good luck tomorrow afternoon against Calgary.
