How do you like him now?
First Period
Sort of dull really. Not a lot happened.

Later in the period Marner set up his dog for two, and he was near Sheldon Keefe long enough, the coach got a couple as well.

Score was 4-0 Leafs, and the Sabres had eight Shots on Goal. They had the puck some, and shot it some, but not well:

You should expect a team with the offensive punch of the Sabres to punch back, and so they did, but not with a high level of danger.
That makes it 5-0.
Third Period
I spent the start of this period waiting for the probability to deliver a Sabres goal.
And indeed it came:

LOL
ENG Hatty, with hats on the ice in a road game. We’re sorry Buffalo, seriously, really sorry.

Final score is 6-3. And the third period was all Buffalo until it wasn’t.
