The OT wins suck because you give the other team a point in the standings, too, but Tage Thompson really clinched that for the Sabres tonight.
He took out 2 skaters, leaving what ended up being a 2 on 1 for the winning goal by Samuelsson.
Great play.

Son of a bitch.
Wow. The Wings had this.
It's like we had an inverse of the last game, where the first period was murder but then we dominated the rest of the game... that third period, man. And the OT. OT's always a bitch. #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
And the punches keep coming for Buffalo as they take a bench minor for too many men. A stupid call but stupid for the team as a whole. #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
More on the heel fuck ups by Detroit's defense but Gibby gets on one knee and flashes the leather like he wanted to propose to the shooter on fast forward. An authority save right there by Gibby. #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
Short-handed goal for Buffalo!
Scored by Ryan McLeod with 10:32 remaining in the 3rd period.

If there was a "experience Detroit hockey" moment, it was the one I just witnessed: sloppy powerplay moves results in a turnover, breakaway, tying goal that proves a broken 3 goal lead. Against Buffalo. #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
Buffalo goal!
Scored by Tage Thompson with 15:35 remaining in the 3rd period.
Assisted by Josh Doan and Colten Ellis.
Detroit: 4

#BUFvsDET #LGRW #SabreHood
Yet another stupid call, this time with Detroit going in the box, two for high sticking. #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
Hey, there's the Wings I was fearing: Mo struggling to find an edge and ends up behind the play, leading Eddy to have to do more than stand around and he ends up behind too, resulting in Buffalo being able to crash the net and make it 4-3. #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
Third period starts and honestly, let's keep this game interesting and entertaining. I could use that. #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
After 40 minutes, we saw 4 total goals. And yet only one came from a relatively by the books play result. Much more action from one side of the ice and I'm liking what I see. Better play from depth lines, in general, too. #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
Buffalo goal!
Scored by Josh Doan with 02:02 remaining in the 2nd period.

#BUFvsDET #LGRW #SabreHood
Jesus fuck, Eddy, could you have NOT made that call ridiculously easy for the refs to make? Wings on the penalty kill. #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
In 40 minutes and 6 goals on the board, now, that goal from Dahlin, felt like the most sensical goal all night. It was still a redirect from a shot at the right place at the right time but still. 4-2 WINGS! #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
Power play goal for Detroit!
Scored by Alex DeBrincat with 11:10 remaining in the 2nd period.
Assisted by Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider.
Detroit: 4
Buffalo: 1
#BUFvsDET #LGRW #SabreHood
And on this powerplay, another weird as hell thing happens: Rayzor wires a sharp pass to the Cat and the Cat tries to go cross crease to Kaner to one time it in an open net and it goes off of a defenseman's stick for an own goal. PFT. 4-1 WINGS! #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
What the hell was that? A soccer tackle resulting in a trip? What the hell. Another stupid, easy call, two minutes on the powerplay for an unorthodox tripping call. #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
Detroit goal!
Scored by Dylan Larkin with 14:04 remaining in the 2nd period.

#BUFvsDET #LGRW #SabreHood
HO. LEE. SHIT. Rayzor with a really pretty feed to Larks and Larks just beat the obstacle course and managed to sneak on into the net! 3-1 WINGS! #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
And JUST LIKE THAT, Kane's going to the box for an equally stupid call, 4 on 4 for a majority of 2 minutes. Fucking hell. #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
As if I manifested it last period, Buffalo takes kind of a stupid penalty and Detroit actually goes on the powerplay this time. Two minutes, tripping call. #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
Yet another tenacious, chippy, "keep the pressure up" kind of plays that sometimes results in a puck going into the net. The Cat tallies another one for the go ahead goal. 2-1 WINGS! #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
Second period has started and it honestly looks like more of the same: exactly what I was hoping for. #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
This wasn't the most exciting 20 minutes of hockey but it was entertaining. 1 goal for each side, the Hockey Gods saw fit to have an effect. Not sure how the second is gonna pan out but let's hope it goes well. #BUFvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
