The Sabres actually lost last night! The series is now tied at 1-1. They did not match the intensity of the Islanders for the first 15 minutes of the game, and so were down 2-0. They finally scored late in the first, and then the NYI goalie made some fantastic saves to keep the score 2-1 till mid-way through the 3rd period. A questionable call led to a NY power play (the only time they managed to get any scoring chances for the final two periods, for the most part) and they cashed in. They held on, Sabres lose the game.
So, perhaps this loss will remind them that they aren’t invincible, and we’ll win the rest of the games from here on out?
That’s what we’re hoping for!
I forgot to mention that although they lost, the Sabres really did play well. I would even say the outplayed the Islanders except for that first 15 min when we spotted them a 2-goal lead.
So… don’t do that again, Sabres!
