GDT: St. Louis Blues at Buffalo Sabres 2-3-18 7PM MSG, GR

[LTS]

Slow night in here tonight. That's okay.

[Stoner]

Honest question: how do you give consent to be put on TV when you go to a game? Some of the closeups of fans are pretty intimate. We just saw a guy giving a baby a bottle. I'm thinking more of intimate moments between couples. Little kids. I dunno, it seems intrusive at times.

Three on two for the Bres falls apart.

17-67-10

[Randall Flagg]

Turned in on and saw our 4th line + Beaulieu + Antipin with the best zone exit the Sabres have done in like 5 years. 

[LTS]

By buying a ticket. It's probably part of the agreement somewhere.

 

Although since you are in a public venue that's on broadcast TV there is probably no need to get consent.

[Randall Flagg]

What would we have to add to Kane to get Dunn?

[ubkev]

How the can we not hit a 15 foot pass. Ugh! Then take a penalty resulting from a turnover on passing.

[LTS]

Well... That pass looked like it went right under the stick.

 

But I'm not going to replay to confirm.

[darksabre]

That was stupid by Girgensons.

[Stoner]

Some of the goalies in this league are tremendous at that long pass. Better than our D.

Eichel pocket picked while doing his public skate routine in his own zone. He's been sloppy the last couple of games.

Giveaways becoming a slight trend of late for Jack.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

So far, so good.

 

Although, we are behind in SOG.

Our 4th line and maybe even our 3rd line are terrible.

[Thorner]

I think the players have bought into, and learned, what looks to be an effective system from Housley. They can manage to get sustained zone time against good teams like the Blues.

 

The lack of talent just means we don’t score.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

At least we won more faceoffs in that period.

Is there an echo in here?

2 even strength points in last 7 games for Jack heading in, 6 even strength points since January 1.

LET'S GO!!!!

 

ROCK'EM SABRES!!!!!

I'm a fan of good dumps, Marty.

I wouldn't have guessed that.

 

Shot of old man in crowd snoozing leads to Brian Duff saying, "Let's get into why the score is scoreless."

Pretty sure it did go under the stick. Sorry, I made it sound like the pass itself was trash. It's was marginal. The reception of the pass was trash.

[Stoner]

Why doesn't Eichel's speed allow him to break in on goal more often?

[SwampD]

Nice Fbomb there.

[Stoner]

Anybody got a crowd yawn count? Holy cow.

Uncharacteristic giveaway by Pominville.

[Randall Flagg]

Parayko is great. Can't believe Tarasenko missed that.

[Thorner]

Good question.

 

I guess because opposing D give him so much space?

Honestly, I would have scored that. Huge miss from Tarasenko.

[Stoner]

Sabres getting some great chances of faceoffs.

[SwampD]

So, no hooking calls tonight I guess.

 

Will Evander ever score again?

[Thorner]

Kane doesn’t score when given open looks from Jack.

 

And Jack’s gotta get that shot off. Too slow on the release.
