Sabres-Leafs: No New Year's Hangover for Buffalo in 4-1 Victory

Fri, 2 Jan 2009 03:31:27 +1600

With far too many bad memories of recent Buffalo Sabres games burned into the fans' minds, it was only forward thinking that would have thought the Sabres would be suffering from New Year's hangover tonight versus the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Even though the Sabres were dominating play, the score remained tied late in the first period. All of Buffalo's strong effort could have been for naught when, after a Maple Leafs flurry of shots, the puck lay dangerously exposed in the crease, forcing Sabres' center Derek Roy to use his hand to sweep the puck away, resulting in a penalty shot being called against Buffalo.
