GDT: Chicago @ Buffalo, 1:00 pm est, 12/19/2015

[Doohicksie]

Man these guys are so much better than us.

They're very, very smart

 

The difference is simply a mature system versus a team still learning their system.  They're not better than us talent-for-talent as they are just playing the game without having to actively think it.

[Ottosmagic13]

For all the skill and hockey sense that Eichel and Kane possess it's almost comical the way things fall apart when they try to connect on a play.

God kväll! (Don't fail me google translate)

 

 

Must be nice to have a game at normal time!

 

You spelt that perfectly, like a boss. 

 

Yes, normally NHL games start for us between 1and 4'clock in the morning. Pretty awesome, im at work though but its calm here tonight so were able to watch the game!  :worthy:

[Doohicksie]

Panarin looked like Ennis on that play.  All kinds of stick handling ending in the puck dribbling off his stick.

[Randall Flagg]

It wasn't so long ago that Chicago couldn't put as many Hawks fans as there are in FNC right now in their own arena.

Theyre still better than us talent-for-talent though, pretty significantly so.

Let's Go Buffalo!

[Doohicksie]

McCabe is having a solid game so far.

[WildCard]

, that was such a nice look right there for Eichel - Kane

Rasmus looking pretty useless in the defensive zone so far

[Doohicksie]

######, that was such a nice look right there for Eichel - Kane

 

They're syching up.  Look out.....

[3putt]

The Hawks contest everything. Never passive.

[North Buffalo]

Sabres playing much better in own end after opening an no starting to hit in O side, I feel it coming.

[MODO Hockey]

You boys on the beer? 

[...]

Is Pat Kane being boo'd every time he has the puck?

[Doohicksie]

Coffee.

[WildCard]

Well that offsides was definitely Jack's fault

[woods-racer]

You boys on the beer? 

 

Should we have been off?

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Water.

[MODO Hockey]

Coffee.

Whats up? ;)

 

Should we have been off?

Just making sure! :D

[Ottosmagic13]

For those that participate the Fan Advantage keyword "Happy Holidays" is worth 25 points (normally just 10).

 

 

REVIEW IT! That was onside, integrity of the rule, LOUD NOISES. /sarcasm

 

But seriously he waved it off and blew his whistle at the same time. WTH?

[darksabre]

Coffee.

Yup. The gourmet expensive stuff.

Didnt look like offside to me

[hockeyhound]

Chicago looks to be at half speed; I hope they don't decide to start playing.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

The Sabres looked pretty good against a vastly superior team.

 

SOG are low for both teams ... good team defence on both sides.

 

1 - 0 at the end of 1 is not horrible.

 

GO SABRES!!

[Stoner]

Same here.

Pa should be happy with the anthem at least

She was awesome. Her Canada was flawless, US might need a little work. One of my all time anthem pet peeves is "pair-oh-less" instead of perilous. Another pet peeve, Sabres fans don't shout Perreault at that point. Then again, they rarely shout anything, as was pointed out on the Hawks broadcast. They said they could hear ice level conversation all the way up in the booth.

McCabe playing solid D, using the body to cancel out both Kane and Hossa on successive rushes.

And Hossa later. Very solid period.
