Good god! Never let Rick Nash and Mark Staal touch a baseball bat ever again!

[PromoTheRobot]

Now you can lay into Lehner! LOL.

 

Dude thought he had the post; had no idea where he was; left nice fat gap between skate and post....goal.

 

He's not middling, he's terrible.

Yeah that's on Lehner. You have to hold the post.

[erickompositör72]

Lehner looked like I do in goal- after not being on the ice for a few years

[Stoner]

Four Rangers on Okposo lol.

[darksabre]

Trying to go with d4rk's reasonable goalie take, but, man, it's not like we don't see Lehner give up screwy goals all the time.

I mean, there was no one there to defend. It was Lehner by himself. Just sloppy play by the team.

[TheAud]

This isn't competitive

[Nitro60]

Passive in your own end will earn a L today.  Start pressuring the puck and get physical.  This  team has no grit.

[LGR4GM]

I worry that Phil doesn't emphasize the need to physically be strong on and off the pick enough

[ubkev]

Four Rangers on Okposo lol.

I actually said "good effort, Kyle" out loud.

[nfreeman]

Sabres have allowed 14 shots in less than 10 min.

[SABRES 0311]

14 Shots Against 4 SOG

[LGR4GM]

There's a no call interference for ny

[Stoner]

Nice strong D play by Eichel to jam that puck loose.

[Doohicksie]

I'd rather listen to RJ 50 seconds lagged than Doc Emrick talk about everything BUT THE GAME.

 

 

 

Gawd, that guy is the worst play-by-play guy in all of sports.  :sick:

[Sabel79]

Good on the Rags, I suppose, for being the only team treating this like it counts in the standings. If nothing changes they might score ten.

[ubkev]

Nice strong D play by Eichel to jam that puck loose.

Agreed

[LGR4GM]

Fire sale this . Eichel the only forward doing Jack today.

 

Shut up Doc!

[Kruppstahl]

This team just gets physically pushed off pucks. So weak.

If you think this is bad, wait for the playoffs, when things quickly deteriorate into trench warfare with huge bodies banging on the wall for puck possession....we'd lose 6-0 4 game straight against a dozen playoff teams in this league.

 

We need some re-working; the guy who needs to go first is Reinhart; his game just doesn't translate to any type of playoff success at all.

[TrueBlueGED]

The sky cam looks really cool, I think...but holy hell is it bad for actually watching the game.

[darksabre]

Nice strong D play by Eichel to jam that puck loose.

Yup. Very aggressive. I like it.

[Sabel79]

That right there is why ERod doesn’t, and shouldn’t, play more.

[Kruppstahl]

I think the shadow problem relates to the fact that baseball is not played in January.

 

Sun is really low in sky relative to summer and its crating tons of shadow problems.

It's going to get worse until the the whole rink is in shade, which might take a while.

 

Not sure this was well thought out when they chose a venue.  The architecture of the top of that stadium is making a lot of complex shadows.

[Doohicksie]

Shut up Doc!

 

He's dreadful.  How does ANYTHING think this guy is a first line broadcaster?

[Stoner]

I'd rather listen to RJ 50 seconds lagged than Doc Emrick talk about everything BUT THE GAME.

 

 

 

Gawd, that guy is the worst play-by-play guy in all of sports.  :sick:

Not fair. He's brilliant... when he calls the game.

 

The sky cam looks really cool, I think...but holy hell is it bad for actually watching the game.

Yep. They need a stationary camera and then use the roving camera more sparingly.

[ubkev]

That right there is why ERod doesn’t, and shouldn’t, play more.

You mean when he get planted on his ass like a toddler and has the puck taken from him and he ends up looking like Randy in a Christmas Story yelling "wait up guys! Guys, wait up!"

 

Yeah
