I've been saying it all year with the Bills and the same holds true in the NHL, bad teams find ways to lose and good teams find ways to win. The Leafs last night found a way to lose while the Sabres showed why they are a good team, they found a way to scrape together a goal in overtime and take another one from the Leafs.

The Sabres had the lead for most of the night but late in the third Toronto tied the score. The Leafs dumped 16 shots on goal in the 3rd and probably deserved more than than another defeat on an already ugly season in the hockey mecca of the world.

The Sabres though were led by Ryan Miller who has been sharp from day one but if not for him last night it could have been much different and Tim Connolly who was also brilliant.

Connolly had three points last night including the game winner. If he gets on a role there is no better puck handler/playmaker in the league.

I will say this for the Leafs, though there is no consolation prize for such a dismal start, "The Monster" looked pretty darn good in goal. 

If your keeping score at home that is one regulation loss in the first 10 games of the season and 17 points good for a 3 point lead over Ottawa in the division and third in the conference.
