GDT: 12/4/2014, Buffalo @ Tampa Bay: 7:30pm MSG

Let's keep it going. Nobody talk to Jhonas. You'll break the bubble.

Only 11 penalties in the last 5 games, "so they have not put themselves in a bad advantage" Rob Ray

 

Well that didn't take long

[bob_sauve28]

Come on power play!

[Stoner]

I think Nikita Kucherov got his shoe on that one.

[...]

Interns operating the cameras?

[SwampD]

That PP should have been a 5 on 3. Gus was taken down too.

[3putt]

I find it funny that Risto is mentoring Zad. And both are comfortable with it.

[bob_sauve28]

I really like this squad

[SwampD]

This team is connecting on passes the likes of which we haven't seen for years.

 

This is a much different Tampa team tonight.

[Randall Flagg]

Every now and then we're really giving them fits.

 

Risto's got swagger!

 

Very good forechecking tonight.

Did you mean Khruschev?

2 on 0 and they miss.. lucky break for Buffalo

[SwampD]

I joked last game about them playing a smart road game even though they were home, but I think they need to go back to that. The win streak is giving them undue confidence and it looks like they are over-reaching a little. Just make the smart play, work hard, and wait for them to make the mistake to hopefully take capitalize on it. Don't try to make too much happen.

 

I still can't get over how well they are passing. I'll also take being down only one against Tampa.

[Iron Crotch]

Not a bad first period for our boys despite the score. Although the 2-on-0 breakdown was a catastrophe. But, that's what goaltending is for!

[X. Benedict]

Let me congratulate Brad May on dressing like my Uncle Chuck at his bowling league retirement party in 1978.

[...]

Brad May: how many concussions did he sustain and can those injuries affect fashion sense?

[3putt]

To paraphrase Doug Marrone, Robviously.

[SwampD]

What do these refs look at? that call was baffling. It should be Mitchell in the box for hooking and the Lightning player for holding the stick.

[Iron Crotch]

That could have been a trip on Stamkos. And, he ends up scoring.

Grab a man Girgensons.

 

I got on Hodgson last game for the same play so... ;)

[X. Benedict]

Road games is really where the Sabres can get easily exposed with changes.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Well this one is over

Strachan doesn't look good tonight

Oh ######. We're sucking ass in the second period.

 

Our third defensive pair was looking like a third pair on that third goal.

Good call.

[X. Benedict]

Well this one is over

 

Time to pull Enroth. Not his fault though. Rough night for Weber and Strachan.
