Tonight he and the Sabres proved how valuable momentum can be. <h2>Sabres Mount A Big Comeback</h2> Despite being down 2-0 after two periods and being booed off the ice by Buffalo fans the Sabres were not ready to quit.

Another two goals throughout the next 12 minutes gave them the lead. Once they grabbed the lead they never looked back. <q>ALEX TUCH!
