Not a lot of intrigue or offense in this one. A thought seconded by shootout winner Andrew Brunette:
I would say that is par for the course in many preseason games. However, the Buffalo Sabres buck the trends of the "revenue at all costs" professional sports scene.

Russo further outlines why exactly the Wild had so much trouble developing any offense:
While I'm guessing this isn't exactly a trend, and it's obviously a small sample size, but apparently Backstrom looked good in the shootout
Tyler Cuma got his first ice time, partnering with Kim Johnsson, hopefully the youngster learned a bit about positioning and breakouts, but apparently had no issues with butterflies or feeling the pressure.
Here's more on Cuma.
