GDT: Sabres at Minnesota Wild, 8pm ET 1/4/2018

[ubkev]

Well, this is going well.

 

Good night all

[dudacek]

How come I can never be right those times when it makes me happy?

[Thorner]

This team is directed, produced, written, and starred in by Jack Eichel. Kane, O'Reilly and Ristolainen can have writing credits.

 

No one else does anything.

Quick question. If goaltenders are completely responsible for the goals they let in (as you seem to believe) why do hockey teams have defensemen? To play defense, maybe?

Because life sucks and then you die.

 

Enjoy Arby's.

[SwampD]

When is the last time we saw aSabre get a shot off as close as that first goal.

 

Oh yeah. Samson from Jack. And he scored too. I think it was the only one this year.

[TrueBlueGED]

Haven’t seen the starting goalie yet, but if there was ever a night Lehner was primed for a letdown, it would be tonight.

 

Well done.

Girgensons had one, also from Jack. Bang bang.

[hockeyhound]

Good Night, I can't do this.

 

I thought I could return from my current strategy for watching the games which is record the game, check the score, and if they win all good but, if they lose simply delete. Painless procedure.

 

Let's Go Buffalo!

Actually, that's the one I was thinking of.

[PromoTheRobot]

Czech/Canada is also on TV.

I've seen twice so far when Samson tried to get the puck to Jack (one direct pass attempted, other off-the-boards pass attempt), and both were so weak they were taken away easily by the defending player.

 

Maybe just a coincidence, or maybe Reinhart needs to actually play at NHL pace/strength level

I don't think you've been reading the board much lately.

[Stoner]

What was that from Bogo?

[Beer]

Our D is the problem. Lehner being hung out to dry tonight. And I'm no Lehner fanboy.

[Stoner]

Seems like the whitewashing of Housley's performance has begun in earnest.

Dubnyk keeping the North Stars in the game.

[Brawndo]

Risto with the game misconduct

[Stoner]

Targeted the head. Good call.

[Beer]

WTF Risto

[Scottysabres]

Need to move some players.

And honestly, the coach needs to get nasty.

[Stoner]

Suspension time, maybe.

[dudacek]

That was dumb on Risto's part.

I hear what Ray is saying, but it was slightly late and clearly to the head.

And completely unnecessary.

I didn't think he targeted the head

[Thorner]

Rob Ray "tough call".

 

Get bent. That's a suspension.

The NHL has really tightened up that timeframe for when it's interference. Lots of smart moves of late by the league to try and drag the game out of the dead puck era.

Not Robin's fault. Risto fault.
