I'm going to tell you the story of a Buffalo Sabres win over the Toronto Maple Leafs that featured goals from Jack Eichel, Evander Kane, Mark Pysyk, and a game decider from Sam Reinhart. You'd tell me that was a phenomenal game, right? Well, it was...if you only watched from the third period on.
The Sabres ultimately defeated the Leafs 4-3 in a shootout, but this game wasn't as pretty as the box score makes it sound.
The game started about as bad as any hockey game can start.
