Flyers vs. Sabres recap: Philly escapes ugly first, then rolls Buffalo by four goals

Wooooo, that was fun. The Flyers played an absolutely terrible first period tonight against the Buffalo Sabres, and then opened the flood gates in the second, scoring four goals en route to a 5-1 victory.

A few fun things happened:

* Shayne Gostisbehere extended his point streak to 10 games, matching Mikael Renberg's Flyers' rookie record. He also holds the longest current point streak in the NHL.

* Steve Mason made FORTY TWO saves, which like ... against the Sabres, should not be friggin necessary. But we'll take it.

* R.J. Umberger scored a goal!
