GAME DISCUSSION THREAD GDT: Buffalo at Minnesota 1-2-14 at 8:00 PM EST

[wjag]

We might be the only team in the league that can't get a shot off on an odd man rush.

 

It is rather maddening to watch them botch them,

 

Dang

[Wyldnwoody44]

Ouch, that was ugly D

[bunomatic]

Yikes

[hockeyhound]

Ouch

[K-9]

He just needs to learn how to avoid taking multiple shots to the head every single game. Drives me crazy because I love watching him play and he's going to have a really short career the way things are going.

 

I honestly hadn't noticed that. Thanks for the heads-up. Pardon the pun.

 

GO SABRES!!!

[Wyldnwoody44]

Oh sweet irony..... Cmon millsie

[wjag]

2nd periods used to be the "bright" spot for this team

 

There is the first Pomer goal I predicted. He is going to get another one.

[bunomatic]

This game is goin south. Is this the Olympic curse for Miller ? Doesn't look sharp but then again neither do the guys in front of him.

[SwampD]

2nd periods used to be the "bright" spot for this team

 

There is the first Pomer goal I predicted. He is going to get another one.

And seeing as we usually only score 1, that gives him the game winner.

[Wyldnwoody44]

We have a habit of not making other goaltenders work very hard.

 

I honestly don't know if we score tonight

[26CornerBlitz]

Backstrom has been dreadful this season, but the Sabres are making things easy for him.

[SwampD]

The Wild have a goaltender?

[26CornerBlitz]

2nd periods used to be the "bright" spot for this team

 

There is the first Pomer goal I predicted. He is going to get another one.

 

This little guy might score tonight.

[wjag]

Corsi number approaching negative infinity for this period.

[Robviously]

I honestly hadn't noticed that. Thanks for the heads-up. Pardon the pun.

 

GO SABRES!!!

I feel like I see him go head first into the boards like twice per game now. Earlier in the year he caught a slap shot in the face. And he also bounced his head off the post when he crashed the net last month.

 

I want Zemgus here for the next 15 years. I don't need him smashing his brain into everything he sees.

[SwampD]

Do they ever practice 3 on 2s, 3 on 1s, 4 on 2s, anything…? They are always in a straight line and there is never a trailer. It's really frustrating.

[dudacek]

A lot of guys showing their true colours tonight.

Ugly.

[26CornerBlitz]

Just up from Iowa and Zucker scores!

[...]

Oof, they have Miller's number.

[wjag]

Ugh... Nice shot

[inkman]

I don't ever want to see McBain and Sulzer on the ice together ever again.

 

 

 

Edit: I don't ever want to see them on the ice period

[PromoTheRobot]

Oof, they have Miller's number.

The team has been bad all road trip. Not a single serious threat to score on this team.

[SwampD]

I don't ever want to see McBain and Sulzer on the ice together ever again.

That was some bad D. I know he's supposed to take the pass, but you have to at least make him think the pass an option. Sulzer basically let him have a breakaway.

[SarasotaSabre]

just checked ESPN.com and the NHL third-worst plus/minus is Myers @ -16, while Weber is dead-worst at -20 ....... geesh

[bunomatic]

When guys throw a pic like that you should be able to drive right through them like McBain did.
