Game Discussion Thread Buffalo at Philadelphia 7pm EST MSG, GR

[Nitro60]

sleep walking through most of this game...

Good hustle and just missed 

[Thorner]

Scandella has no offensive acumen.

[darksabre]

Getting some chances.

I'm glad the refs let all that Risto stuff go.

[Thorner]

Lehner baiiiiiiling out Bogo

[Robviously]

Agree. Jack needs someone that can keep up with him. That's why Kane works even though he's not the ideal compliment to Jack.

Kane can finish what Eichel starts but he's an awful passer. I'm hoping Nylander or Mittelstadt can be the guy.

The little genius doesn't know what a computer is?

Hopefully Nylander on Jack's wing.  I'd like for Mittlestadt to be the center that Sam wasn't.

[PromoTheRobot]

I've never seen a team more surprised by the puck than the Sabres. They're also the slowest team skating for possession.

[Stoner]

Pretty nice footwork by number 9 of Philly there. Proberov?

Provorov

Right. Kane is fast enough, but can't pass. Reinhart can pass, but isn't fast enough.

 

I don't think either is the answer there. Maybe a Nylander.

It strikes me as odd that they cast a totally androgenous kid. Is it a boy or a girl?

He's a really nice player.

[Thorner]

We need a Jack laser for a goal.

 

Jack hasn't scored a goal by picking a corner yet this season.

[Scottysabres]

Not looking good. Maybe their saving it for tomorrow. Since I'm going I can only hope.

[PromoTheRobot]

Bogo "hustling" looks like slow motion.

Who is this Jack of which you speak?

 

What we really need is their goalie to mishandle a puck again. Seems like that's the only way we are going to score tonight.

Good time for him to step up and be a leader on the ice.

[miles]

the flyers are out hustling on almost every play. day in and day out it gets harder to watch

Jack hasn't scored a whole lot this season period.

 

This team needs a major wake up call.

Driving me nuts that we haven't tried ERod there for an extended stretch.

[Tondas]

Pull the goalie now.  We need all time we can get.

[Thorner]

Reinhart is just easily surpassed on the rush and pick pocketed.

[Iron Crotch]

Another boring game by a team that struggles to score more than 1 goal per.

 

...We just don't have any firepower.

[Nitro60]

The man advantage seems to be a disadvantage for the Sabres.   Pulling the goalie usually ends up with an open net goal.  Baffling that they have not figured out how to make it work.

[Thorner]

Jack does seem to often only circle back to the point. Who said that, Wildcard?
