Buffalo Boy's Blog

Okay, so last night they struggled and we found out shockingly that the Sabres will not win 82 games this year. They lost their first game of the season but not without a fight. They clawed back after being down 2-0 and games like that are going to happen.

Kari Lehtonen was great in goal for the Trashers late when Buffalo poured it on. Early though Patrick Lalime had to be just as stellar as Atlanta had 19 shots on goal in the first. Lalime was great early and in my opinion you can't fault a goalie for the shootout loss. All you can do is get there and keep your fingers crossed. Without Lalime it would have probably been 5-0 after the first.

So, first loss yes, but they scrounged up a point, 9 points on the season and Thomas Vanek scored his league leading 7th goals and we found that Jason Pominville's contract must have fallen off his back last night because he woke up with 2 points.

Next up the big, bad Boston Bruins.
