Buffalo Sabres v. Carolina Hurricanes - By the Numbers

I am quickly running out of things to say about this team. This game was especially frustrating to me because I thought the Sabres played a decent hockey game. I can't help but wonder if things would have been different if Vanek would have taken the shot on one of his 2-on-1 breaks. Chad Larose proved how effective a shot can be on a 2-on-1. It turned out to be the difference in the game.
