miles Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 it is night and day difference in the quality of play. the wild are passing the puck cleanly, and the sabres are just standing around and watching like spectators. i have been blaming lehner for the losses they have had, but so far in this game, i have not seen a single good defensive good play by the sabres.

Brawndo Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Damn Suspension time, maybe. Repeat offender status, I think he gets at least 3 games Quote
Beer Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 This is going to be a barn burner Anyone find it ironic that the pregame promo video was showing all Rasmus' goals... we can blame this on MSG Quote
Stoner Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 And again Dan won't say the other team scored. 10 wins at midseason. He and Phil can get lost. Quote
Thorner Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Why is Bogo on his ass in the crease for every goal against? This is a team playing like the Winter Classic was their Stanley Cup. Quote
Stoner Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Uncharacteristically passive PK tonight. Quote
Thorner Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Reinhart jumps back into the lazy club with another high sticking penalty. Quote
Jacque Richard Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Looks like a hungover group that could care less tonight Quote
dudacek Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Holy Shiit. Get Robin out of there because he doesn't deserve this. Give Jack and Kane a rest too. Make Reinhart and the rest of the slackers double-shift until they puke with exhaustion and shame Quote
Thorner Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Minus 21 goal differential in JUST the 1st period! Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 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. Rob Ray "tough call". Get bent. That's a suspension. Yup. Why is Bogo on his ass in the crease for every goal against? This is a team playing like the Winter Classic was their Stanley Cup. Because he's bad. Quote
SwampD Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Targeted the head. Good call.No. He didn't. He may have hit him in the head but didn't target it and it wasn't even remotely late. That's a bullshiz game misconduct. Quote
Thorner Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 This game is representative of what we are as a hockey team. No sugar. Quote
thewookie1 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 That Risto hit was not worthy of a game misconduct by any stretch of the imagination. He did not target the head, I do not see him aiming for anything but the shoulder. But as Buffalo, we will always get ###### by the refs and the league so likely a suspension for a borderline interference call. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Just saw the Risto hit on Twitter. What a garbage play that is. Neil-esque in its angle of approach, if not in its lateness. Quote
Stoner Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 No. He didn't. He may have hit him in the head but didn't target it and it wasn't even remotely late. That's a bullshiz game misconduct. OK, fine. We don't know what was in Risto's head. But he hit him in the head and injured him. And in NHL in 2018 that was late. Quote
Weave Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Couldn't finish the 1st period. I'm out. Quote
Thorner Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Just saw the Risto hit on Twitter. What a garbage play that is. Neil-esque in its angle of approach, if not in its lateness. Perfectly stated. It immediately felt dirty, live. Edited January 5, 2018 by Bjorn Borg Quote

dudacek Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 If there was ever a game that Housley needs to lose it publicly, it's this one. They are sleepwalking in his hometown. Embarrassing him, embarrassing their goalie. 'em Phil. Call them what they are. Quote

darksabre Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Was I supposed to watch this game tonight or something? Quote
SwampD Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Just take hitting out of the game for sake. It's where we're headed. That'll be fun. Quote
dudacek Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 He hit him in the shoulder. His face got scraped by some. I've seen more head trauma by a high stick. Swamp, I'm usually with you on this stuff, but that is not what I saw. I'm with Thorny. He may not have targeted the head, but he hit it when there was no need for contact at all. That was edgy Risto seeing an opportunity to hurt - probably because he was pissed off they were down. Quote
Tondas Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) First Intermission. Time for my second Maker's Mark. Just another Sabres game. Edited January 5, 2018 by Tondas Quote
