With their win the Flyers move past the Sabres in the standings, dropping Buffalo into 12th place.

Are the Sabres a playoff team? Maybe. Are they a contender for the Stanley Cup? Not even close.

Robin Lehner turned in another great game at home stopping 33 shots and the players the Sabres depend on to score, did.

Even with only 20 shots on goal, the Sabres had some golden opportunities, but just couldn't put the puck in the net. They gave a good effort, but didn't get the results.

Following the Buffalo Sabres crushing loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins in their previous game the big question entering Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia Flyers was how would the Sabres respond?  Would they come with a new determination?  Or would they crash and burn?

Quite possibly the Buffalo Sabres have turned the corner.  Since the first of the year they've taken seven of a possible eight points against some good hockey teams including Tuesday night's 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Buffalo Sabres were cruising along with a 3-0 lead against the Philadelphia Flyers Tuesday night until they ran into penalty trouble in the third period.  The Flyers responded with three straight power play goals to tie the score, then won it in a shoot out for a 4-3 victory.

It didn’t take long for the Philadelphia Flyers to cash in on some awful play by the Sabres Wednesday night. The Flyers scored three times in the first six and a half minutes and held on for a 3 to 2 win. After Lindy Ruff decided to pull Ryan Miller and replace him with Jonas Enroth the Sabres woke up and played a lot better, but they just couldn’t make up for the bad start.

It always seems to work out the same way for Buffalo teams - they come out on the short end.  This year's Stanley Cup playoff series with the Philadelphia Flyers was no different.  The Sabres allowed a goal in the final minute of the first period, then gave up two power play goals in the second period as Philadelphia built a 3-0 lead and it was just too big a mountain to climb.  The Flyers beat th
