Vulgar Opinions: Rangers @ Sabres (3-12-13) Stars and Black Holes

What’s all this then?

Stars:

1. Marcus Foligno – Best game of the year, and it’s about damn time. 2 goals, 4 shots, 3 hits.
2. Andrej Sekera - Just brilliant at both ends of the ice.  2 assists, +3, 21:48 of icetime.
3. Jhonas Enroth – Weathered a few Ranger barrages.

Unsung Hero:

• Christian Ehrhoff and Brian Flynn – Flynn has shown a lot of really good things and few bad ones in his time up.  More of the same from Ehrhoff.

The Robert Wade Niedermayer Memorial Black Holes:

1. Jordan Leopold - Softest of soft plays on the Rangers goal.
2. Drew Stafford - Continues to be invisible.  If you’re not going to be four million dollars of production, at least be four million dollars of effort.
3. None.  Everyone else played pretty well.

Unseen Goat:

• None.
