Not the prettiest win, but I'll take it. Especially with Hiller, sounded like he shouldn't have even dressed. Kinda strange to see some posters slamming his play, if there was ever a free pass to give him tonight was the night.
Like seeing all 4 lines play. Looks like it's paying off now getting everyone some ice.
The special teams are still looking like a disaster. You can win a few games here and there, but having a brutal GAA combined with the worst special teams on the planet won't get you into the playoffs. Working on the PK and PP should be priority #1 for the foreseeable future. Absolutely has to start improving.
Risto is a stud. And not just because of his 3 goals, but a huge, good skating d-man who can play in all 3 zones is a nice player to build your team around. Looks like a steal for the Sabres.
Hopefully the boys can get away from the flu and keep rolling. Only 2 games under .500, feels more like 10 games under. Might as well keep it going and see what happens.
