They scored 1st in OT, but the referees and surprisingly the NHL review office in Toronto missed it. The Sabres win in a shootout. If you're a Sabres fan, then it makes up 0.15% of Brett Hull's skate in the crease from 1999. If you're a Sharks fan... just another piece of fate laughing at you.

You know who it really sucks for? All of the people who bet on the Sharks to win, using that atrocious betting line :P

Hah! It doesn't even make up for Brett Hull - I think it just reminds the Sabres' fans how awful that was.

Eh, I'm more of a simulation kind of guy than fantasy sports. That's pretty much the only reason I buy the NHL games.

Devils lose. Unsurprising.

In overtime. Also unsurprising.

In the shootout. Even more unsurprising.
