good things come in small packages

5'5" nathan gerbe has heart and desire
to equal that of 6'8" zdneo chara

the buffalo sabres are in 7th place in the eastern conference after a win at boston last night...the gutty road perfomance--game six of seven on this road trip--saw the sabres come back from a 2-0 deficit and a 3-2 deficit to win the game in overtime...

the two smallest sabres on the team, tyler ennis and nathan gerbe were instrumental in the win--ennis with a deft touch on his goal and gerbe, who also was mixing it up physically with the edgy bruins, with an overtime, overdrive assist on brad boyes' game winner...

tyler ennis shows his poise and touch to pull the sabres to within one

just :27 after the bruins take a 2-0 lead



nathan gerbe flicks a snapshot at tim thomas and barrels after it

sending the rebound to a wide-open brad boyes for the game winner



nathan gerbe shows some spunk and cody mccormick,

despite being dead tired at the end of a shift,

takes on boston's milan lucic



with the win the sabres are now 4-1-1 on their roadie and have come back to win versus two of the top teams in the eastern conference--the east-leading flyers on saturday and boston last night...

the sabres head to toronto tomorrow night for the final game of this roadie sitting in 7th place in the eastern conference, one game below the actual .500-mark for the season...

this from a team that started the season 3-9-2 and at one point were last in the league
