Wow what a finish!! How the heck do the Ducks let Max just walk in on the goalie like that?

And what a pretty goal on the penalty shot by Vanek!!!

I was right....to a point....it was a "pitfall" game. The Ducks had the Sabres for much of this game. It was perseverance & hard work that once again got the Sabres back into the game, and enabled a 'W' to be pulled off.

Hats off to Max for the patience on that GWG, because he was doing some of his bullcrap one-man show stuff a few times tonight. It was pissing me off. Great job by Vanek on the PS, and great job by the linesman to call it, since I thought for sure he would let it slide.

Overall, great game, and another 2 points. Now, let's get Danny back! :up:
