I thought the Flyers were skating at half-speed. Maybe that's what happens when you face a mediocre opponent. You tend to play down to them. But even playing down to the Sabres is enough to dominate them. Of course their goaltending looked sharp. There wasn't a single dangerous scoring chance by Buffalo.

Really? They didn't look special. If the Sabres didn't play like they were drugged...

Can't wait to see what they look like tomorrow.

Okay. No one needs to take care of the puck. No one needs to score either. Goalies can just make every save.

I put on the UB basketball game. Up by 20. Lots more fun.

Have you ever considered the goalies with better save percentages don't have teams in front of them that continuously turn the puck over?

Hutton has made plenty of good saves today. But the 5 guys in front of him keep helping out the Flyers. How about for a change we put a little blame on what leads to those goals instead of the goals themselves?

And the breakdowns that led to that goal are fine.

Both teams are sleepwalking. But the Sabres are really dragging.

I hear Marty Biron say how he never plays goal anymore and rarely skates. That strikes me so weird. Mind you it's just beer league but I played until I could barely walk anymore because I couldn't bear to stop playing goal myself. (Knees were shot.) Maybe when it's your job you can't wait to get away from it? After surgeries I'm finally skating again over a year and a half later, but no more goaltending. Even if I could do it you lose so much of that skill after just a few months.

Or was it from the future?

I haven't heard a word since the survey. Maybe they're worried about a fragile team being able to hear every word shouted from the stands?

Healthy scratch. What does he get you?

Instead of a goal horn at the final buzzer they should play the "sad trombone" sound.

Montour almost with an assist there.

Maybe we can earn a point.

Instead of MSG shrinking the picture when doing border ads, they should just cover the edges and leave the picture alone. It makes me seasick.

Great. Isles power play. Here we go.

God, this team. Lazar had a 99% chance of clearing the zone but Barzal picked his pocket. We play in slo-mo while every other team moves at fast-forward.

Maybe it's my new 4K TV but that royal blue really pops.

Is there a less scary team on offense? No threat ever.

And it's not even considered a shot on goal.

So how long can they go before a goal can't be counted? You would think Toronto can look at it and radio in to the officials.

Hey, let's keep our expectations reasonable.

Interesting story on the evolution of goalies and their equipment, and how it impacts the game. https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2021/02/hockey-goalies-are-too-big-now/618021/
