[Bandwagon In Flames]

Lots of positives about this game, even though it was against the lowly Sabres.

Hiller wasn't busy but made some big saves at key times.

Backlund is the kind of player you win a 60 minute game with. He does so many little (and big) things well and always drives the puck up ice without fail.

Credit to Jones, he's gone a stretch of playing good physical hockey and hasn't been injured in the process. His play of late is helping me see how he originally earned that big contract with Colorado.

Brodie had his best game in a long while too. Was constantly skating and making smart plays. There was one shift where he broke up 3 plays at 3 different areas of the ice within 10 seconds.

Then there's Colborne, Raymond, Gaudreau, Diaz... Just a strong effort all round!
