dudacek Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 No power plays, tight game reveals a lot about what Bylsma thinks about his players five on five. Eichel and Reinhart with their lowest, or close to their lowest ice times of the season. After Risto's perennially ridiculous workload, Gorges leads the team. Quote

SwampD Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 They said on the Islander's broadcast that RJ made the trip because he wanted to call the Sabres' first game at the Barclays Center. Pretty cool. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 I wouldn't be too concerned about one or two lines not gelling tonight when they've been hot the last couple of games. They just got the premium coverage leaving things open for Legwand, Moulson and Reinhart. That's one nice thing this team hasn't had in a couple of years, 3-4 working lines leaving the opposing team guessing as to how to defend them. Quote
darksabre Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 Caught the end of the game on the radio. Glad to hear Legwand get rewarded for steady play. Gotta have depth guys like that. And good for Sam and Matty Mo getting goals. Curious to see if Ullmark keeps getting starts. He may have earned a few more. Quote

I wonder if Bylsma has toyed with the idea of putting Jack on the fourth line, just to give him space for a shift or two until the other team figures it out. And, now that you mentioned it, I wonder if this is part of the reason why Bylsma keeps re-ordering the lines; not just to look for chemistry, but as an experiment to see how a lack of structure affects his team, and the opposition's matching. That'd be a really heady game, right there. Quote

Pretty cool. It is cool, but I feel a little bad for Dan. Has he done a game yet? He's like the backup goalie who never starts. Quote
Doohicksie Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 A nice win for this team. Can't understate how big it is that Linus held his ground for the last 5 minutes to keep the lead Can't understate how big it is that Linus didn't let in a soft goal on an easy shot. Quote

My bet on that is no pp/pk for Risto tonight It is cool, but I feel a little bad for Dan. Has he done a game yet? He's like the backup goalie who never starts. Dunleavy? He's called at least 4 games, I think Quote

dudacek Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) My bet on that is no pp/pk for Risto tonight I don't think I worded that clearly. Risto still led the team with a sick amount — think it was over 26 minutes, despite no special teams. Gorges though was only about a half-minute behind him tonight. Jack and Sam down because of no PP team too. Jack still got 16 minutes though. Edited November 2, 2015 by dudacek Quote
Stoner Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 Burn him! Pretty good LGB chants after the goals, innit? Also, I might have been hearing things, but I thought I heard a hint of "ooh, ahh, Sabres..." Quote

Ottosmagic13 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Question: How much of that outcome was affected by Tavares and Halak being out? It seems like a playmaker and a solid tender would have tipped the scales to at least into overtime. On another note, this is another game that the officiating left a bad taste in my mouth. The trip before the icing and resulting timeout and several missed high sticks (on both teams) were just the cut and dry calls. I'm almost done harping on the dump'n'mug interference non-calls but again it just seems like the league has the wrong interpretation on this IMHO. I think it was the lockout year that they started coming down on players taking an extra whack at the goalie but not the D giving an extra shot to the guy just standing there and that didn't make sense to me. Or maybe a better example: the trapezoid rule nonsense (never saw the need for it). Either way, this seems just as odd there has to be a happy medium between any contact is interference and the current tackling is okay nonsense. My bet on that is no pp/pk for Risto tonight Dunleavy? He's called at least 4 games, I think And I've hated every one, maybe it's because I caught them on the radio but it was hard to follow and... uninspired is the best way to explain it. Not calling goals or saying a penalty is coming and letting it go to break without saying on which team sort of stuff. Edited November 2, 2015 by Ottosmagic13 Quote

The trip before the icing and resulting timeout and several missed high sticks (on both teams) were just the cut and dry calls. I thought the Isles were hacking and whacking with impunity tonight. Pretty tough to watch. About half the Islanders' "hustle" was really just getting close enough to a Sabre to bludgeon him until he gave up the puck. Tonight the New York Islanders were a bunch of hacks. Quote

Not calling goals or saying a penalty is coming and letting it go to break without saying on which team sort of stuff. I'd say having Bogo, Kane and Lehner to an extent evened that out. My thoughts from being at the game: It was one of the more boring games I've watched recently but I'm really happy they pulled out a win. After two periods the Sabres only had 12 shots and the Sabres fans sitting around me all agreed it was slightly reminiscent of last year...but they turned it up in the 3rd and came out on top so I'll drink to that. The refs not calling a SINGLE penalty was also rubbish. I watched Gionta take a stick to the face and the trip on O'Reilly by egregious. My theory was the refs wanted to catch the end of the Mets game and wanted to move the game along. Did anyone else think DB should have challenged the Islanders goal? Ullmark was knocked down by an Islander and the puck went in the net a few second later. I wonder how far back an interference call can effect the play. Quote

I think RJ mentioned that a few minutes afterward. I think someone said the goal came too long after the interference. Quote

Also, I might have been hearing things, but I thought I heard a hint of "ooh, ahh, Sabres..." I didn't hear the warpath but there were a number of LGBs -- not just after the goals. And a ton of Sabres fans at the game. Separately: - I think Ullmark is the #1 until he loses it. - the Sabres looked pretty tired until after the Isles scored. They came to life and had the better of the play for about the last 25 min of the game. Neither team was exactly storming the beach in this one. - I think Zemgus and Moulson are developing good chemistry and Moulson has been pretty determined on the forecheck. I hate to say it but Gio has not been pulling his weight on that line. - I counted four huge face off wins by ROR at the end. - I don't think DDB will be too happy with this effort, but it's a nice win for a team that is trying to learn how to win close games. - the Isles' forecheck dominated the game for the first 35 min of the game. Ullmark played very well during that stretch. - they'll need to play a much better game than that to beat Tampa. Quote
beerme1 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) My theory was the refs wanted to catch the end of the Mets game and wanted to move the game along. Well with five so far in the top of the 12th inning I think they got to see some of it. Edited November 2, 2015 by beerme1 Quote

How many times did this play out the other way around last year? Good to be on the other end of that sort of thing. Quote
