GDT: Buffalo at Calgary, 9:00 PM ET, 10/18/2016

[Norcal]

Nice work by Baptiste and Ennis on the first goal. MUCH stronger on the stick that time by Zemgus. I'm watching delayed.

[LGR4GM]

Okposo is good. He's making all those small plays that ROR routinely makes. They're going to be fun to watch together. Also, that attempted back-hand alley-oop pass by Reinhart to ROR was silly, bet he and Eichel connect on that a few times this year. 

silly yes, but the scary thing is he thought of it in real time, and executed it perfectly. I love Okposo doing the little things right

Unrelated, but looking like we may have dodged a bullet with Zatkoff going to LA--he looks like hot, smoldering, cow dung.

 

I so want them to flame out because of him. He deserves it.

[CGorman]

It's truly a great example of how he thinks the game on another plane, literally. You don't often see guys feather shots wide like that hoping for a deflection. He's going to be fun to watch. 

[Brawndo]

PING!!

[bunomatic]

We have 6 shots on net ?

[Randall Flagg]

Gorges takes Jerry Hughes penalties without the positives that Jerry Hughes brings.

A bad possession team won't let us touch the puck. And every time we do, Dan has us chip it in and they take it right back.

[TrueBlueGED]

I hold Dudacek personally responsible for every Foligno mistake.

[WildCard]

Franson couldn't skate with his man so he literally tried to punch him :lol:

[Brawndo]

5 on 3??? 

 

Are you kidding??

[WildCard]

God get Gorges off the top pair. He's awful

Maybe it's me, but it looks like we're back to the weak ass forecheck from the Habs game.

[3putt]

Edmonton tried a home run pass on almost every breakout. Calgary is content with carrying it in with numbers. This seems to be our weakness. We can defend the hero play. Not so much the base play.

[bunomatic]

Its apparent these flames have been told to go down easy.

[JJFIVEOH]

Risto looking average through 3 games.

Risto looking average the last 45 games.

[3putt]

Smart hockey there boys.

[TrueBlueGED]

I would have forgiven Gorges for all transgressions if he had just managed to fall over backwards there :lol:

[Randall Flagg]

I don't want Dudacek to yell at me, but Gorges is so so cringe-worthy.

[Weave]

Maybe it's me, but it looks like we're back to the weak ass forecheck from the Habs game.

 

They're running a 1-1-3.

 

Yay trap!

[bunomatic]

This reminds me of Lindys alamo.

[3putt]

I think I have seen enough of Grant. Next!

[TrueBlueGED]

Okay, so it's not me. 

 

I don't want to derail the thread with a long Bylsma rant, but he's using our personnel precisely the wrong way. It's like he's scared of Calgary's speed vs our blue line, but by playing defense he's making our defenders do more of what they're not very good at.

[3putt]

WTH Marcus you simply have to walk it over the line and you trip?

[Randall Flagg]

Is Bylsma an idiot or are our players too tired to do anything else? Weak wind?

[TrueBlueGED]

I think I have seen enough of Grant. Next!

 

Yyyyeeeeaaaaa. Nice story from the preseason, but he's pretty clearly an AHLer.
