Maybe somebody put something in Jason Bacashihua's waterbottle or maybe he was just angy at how difficult it must be to spell his own autograph. In either case the goalie committed an egregious three penalties in the first 6 minutes of the game. The young goalie did play well (here he is pictured arguing with the ref) however stopping 9 of 11 GR's but the Sabres Zubrus (11), Semin (28) and Vanek (61) all scored. The Blues J. Mayer uncorked one for his 10th of the season but it was not enough as the Sabres won 3-1.

The Sabres completely and utterly outplayed the Flyers in every facet, takeaways, powerplays, penetrates, even faceoffs. Every facet but one that is, and that catagory was goals scored. The Flyers scored four times from four different players. Bergeron (11), Rechi (11), Heatley (39) and Gagne (25).
The Sabres out shot the Flyers 42-26 and out scoring chanced them by double 14-7. J.S Giguere played a great game by stopping 12 of 14 GR and he got 2nd star. PHI 4 BUF 2

The Sabres came out fast and furious and didn't stop for 60 minutes in essentially what could be described as a hockey perfect game. Buffalo scored two powerplay goals in the first two minutes of the game and then added two more to tucker out Blue Jackets netminder P.Leclaire.
The Sabres would add 4 more goals in the game including team captain Chris Drury's first hat trick of the year. Drury also achieved his highest points total with five by adding two assists. pictured: As hard as they tried they couldn't touch him. The man was untouchable in this game.
P.Leclaire did his best in the onslaught of 13 goalie ratings. Ryan Miller registered his league high tieing 4th shutout. 8-0

Derek Roy (15) quick as a cat scored in the opening moments then Vanek on the powerplay from Roy ended the scoring in the first period. The second period saw Penguins goaltender M-A Fleury face, you guessed it, af flury of action in front of his net. The Sabres battered away and scored 5 goals in the second period. And saw Derek Roy score his 4th point of the game by assisting on T.Vanek's league leading 65th goal.
The Penguins were able to bust up a shut out try for Miller when S.Mellanby (9) scored from passes by V.Lecavalier and T.Poti. The Sabres J.Pominville was able to overcome this hair cut and joined the 20 goal club by scoring twice. Below we see Pominville wearing a lid and celebrating his first two goal game of the season. 7-1
