Boy, that's sure what it looks like

Benson hit with shot

Our fourth line ❤️ The rest of the team needs to feed off this effort. Come on boys!

Dunleavy sounded excited!

Kozak's first! That's cool

Brier gets his first ...again

Oh ya!!

That was a mistake, actually. I'll leave it unless there are complaints

A date which will live in infamy? Pearl Harbor day game! Win one for the USS Arizona! https://www.nhl.com/utah/news/game-preview-12-7-utah-hockey-club-vs-buffalo-sabres WHEN: 11:00 a.m. MT WHERE: KeyBank Center - Buffalo, New York TV: SEG+, UtahHC+, Utah 16 | RADIO: KSL Sports Zone 97.5 FM, NHL App The Utah Hockey Club (10-11-4) heads east to face the Buffalo Sabres (11-12-3) at KeyBank Center Saturday afternoon. Utah is currently six points out of a Wild Card position in the Western Conference while Buffalo is two points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Having last played on Monday in a 2-1 loss to the Dallas Stars, Utah has had four days in between games- the longest stretch of rest so far this season. ONE-TIMERS Captain Clayton Keller leads the team with 22 points (7G, 15A). Utah ranks seventh in the NHL with a 1.20 five-on-five goals-for/goals-against ratio. Nick Schmaltz has three goals in his last two games. Goaltender Karel Vejmelka has allowed over three goals only twice in 11 starts. Utah Head Coach Andre Tourigny is one win away from reaching 100 NHL coaching wins. TONIGHT’S MATCHUP The Sabres look to snap a five-game losing streak tonight after a 3-2 overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night. Entering this season, the Sabres were one of just two teams (Montreal) with a younger opening night roster than the Utah Hockey Club. On Thursday against Winnipeg, nine players in Buffalo’s lineup were drafted by the organization. The Sabres are capable of heating up in a hurry as Buffalo has three separate win streaks of three wins this season. WHO TO WATCH UTAH: #8 NICK SCHMALTZ - Schmaltz, 28, has three goals in his last two games, including Utah’s only tally against Dallas on Monday. The pride of Madison, Wisconsin is tied for third on the team with 20 points (3G, 17A) and leads the club in assists. Schmaltz has hit the 20-goal plateau in each of his last three seasons. BUFFALO: 72 TAGE THOMPSON - Thompson, 26, leads Buffalo with 14 goals on the season. Originally acquired via trade from the St. Louis Blues, Thompson has eclipsed the 30-goal mark twice in his career, including a 47-goal season in 2022-23. The Phoenix, Arizona native lit the lamp 29 times last season and is on pace for 51 this season. LOOK BACK Utah’s rally came up just short against the Dallas Stars on Monday night at Delta Center in a 2-1 loss. Nick Schmaltz scored for Utah in the third period to cut the Stars’ lead in half, but second period scores from Evgenii Dadonov and Jamie Benn proved too much for Utah when combined with Dallas goaltender Casey DeSmith’s 34 saves. Karel Vejmelka made the start for Utah in net and stopped 19 of 21 Dallas shots. MÄÄTTÄ AND VÄLIMÄKI NAMED TO TEAM FINLAND On Wednesday it was announced that Utah Hockey Club defensemen Olli Määttä and Juuso Välimäki were named to Team Finland’s 4 Nations Faceoff roster. Määttä has two assists in 15 games with Utah this season after arriving via trade from the Detroit Red Wings. Välimäki has one assist in 19 games with Utah so far. Määttä represented Finland in the 2014 Winter Olympics at Sochi where he captured a bronze medal for his country. Both have represented Finland at various IIHF World Junior Championship tournaments. CLOSE CALLS The Utah Hockey Club has played in some close finishes as of late with five of the team’s last seven games decided by just one goal. Each of Utah’s last four losses have all been by just one tally. Utah is 4-4-4 in games decided by one goal and is tied for the fifth-most games played decided by one score. KAREL VEJMELKA Netminder Karel Vejmelka has had a stellar start to the campaign in between the pipes. So far this season, Vejmelka ranks fourth in goals-against average (2.38) amongst goaltenders who have played as many games as he has (13) and sixth in save percentage (.917). His goals-saved-above-expected per 60 metric (average number of goals he prevents beyond what is normally expected of an NHL goaltender in 60 minutes of action) of 0.52 is 10th amongst all NHL goaltenders according to Sportlogic. LOOK AHEAD The Utah Hockey Club turns around and plays the Philadelphia Flyers tomorrow night at 5:30 p.m. MT in the first-ever meeting between the two clubs.

Maybe add a short comment? 🤷‍♀️

I know I’m late, watching at a bar, but if our goal was taken away so should there’s of been.

Danny Briar! Alright!

Happy wife, happy life! Whoever writes it first gets the honor of picking the style, format, content, or lack thereof.

Dunleavy is currently the play by play voice for the Buffalo Sabres on MSG Western New York and WGR 550 radio in Buffalo. From 2016 until 2022, Dunleavy rotated with Hall of Fame announcer Rick Jeanneret, who was to retire after the 2016–17 season. Rick changed his mind about retiring despite the agreement he and the Sabres signed with Dunleavy, leaving Dunleavy to work on a year by year time table with the hope of eventually taking over as was offered by the NHL franchise. To partially compensate, Dunleavy's role was also expanded to include filling in as studio host for Brian Duff when not substituting for Jeanneret. Dan was about to call his third season of Toronto Maple Leaf radio play by play on The FAN590 and TSN1050 in the 2013-14 NHL season, when Buffalo approached him about taking over for Jeanneret. Dunleavy accepted, mainly because of his concerns about being split between the two Toronto stations, each owned by two of Canada's biggest multimedia conglomerates (Bell Media and Rogers Communications), both of whom also held ownership stakes in the Leafs.[3] The Sabres signed Dunleavy to a five-year contract that expires in 2018; Dunleavy has turned down other offers during his time with Buffalo and remains in negotiations for a contract extension.[4] On May 9, 2021, unsure of whether or not he would return to the Sabres, he posted a potential farewell message in the event that he did not renew his contract.[5] The Sabres publicly stated that they were interested in renewing Dunleavy's agreement.[6] Since the last update, Dan has renewed once again as the voice of the Buffalo Sabres indefinitely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Dunleavy Dunleavy was born in Toronto and grew up in Georgetown, Ontario. His radio career started in Welland, Ontario in 1985 at CHOW country radio. He is an alumnus of Niagara College, where he was classmates with Rick Jeanneret's son, Chris Jeanneret. Dan adopted 2 rescue dogs, Bandit & Timmy, and resides in Eden, New York. He met his wife, Brenda during a Sabres broadcast where she was the graphics coordinator/operator for MSG Network.

Flounder!

Yup, I was just expecting it, honestly. Avs were too. I think many of the Sabres did also. I kind of hoped they would score another goal or two, but they hardly even had any shots on that bad goalie Dude, the whole team was "out" that period

I guess I was too drunk and shocked to notice

Someone hurt? Maybe a trade in the works?

Well, we are open to suggestions. I mean what problem do you have with the GDT format?

I remember back in the 80's NBC experimented with having games with no broadcasters at all. Did not last, but I was fine with it. I actually don't listen to Rob and Dan. I turn the volume down. I'm a hockey guy, I know what is going on. They are both not good. Terry P just does not fire people. He is just happy being the owner, which is fine. I'm glad he kept the team in Buffalo. I'll take him over an owner like Jerry Jones, who is successful, but kind of maniacal. In Sabreland there is a lack of passion for winning. The Avs game was lost when it went to 4-1 and there wasn't really any desperation at all. It was like, "Oh well, let's move on and maybe try to win next game." If there was a serious winning culture here there would of been some fall out from that pretty horrible, and embarrassing loss, but it seem there was no embarrassment. The broadcast team is just a manifestation of the lack of caring. Why rock the boat when everything is going so well?

Hey, gotta have goals in life! 🤣
