Our Sabres blog, Die By The Blade, offers some thoughts on the Sabres’ inability to head to Boston with a 2-0 series lead. A few of the talking points:
Sabres Blog: Talking Points After Game 2 Loss
With a minus-two rating, Tim Connolly must insert himself into this series very soon especially if Vanek is sidelined for a significant amount of time. He breezed around with the puck on a few occasions, but it amounted to nothing.
Face-off percentages weren't a freshening sight for Buffalo as they won less than half their draws. Connolly and Derek Roy were the only two above 50 per cent while Paul Gaustad wasn't himself going just 8-for-17.
Ennis' pass attempt to Connolly went behind him, leading to the tying goal by Ryder. I wonder how this game turns out if that puck lands on Connolly's stick. That's playoff hockey though. One chance, one goal.
