GDT: Sabres at Wild, Sat 11/17/18, 6:00 pm

Credit to Okposo for taking a look and recognizing that Dahlin wanted to cycle down 

[Tondas]

Sabres finding their legs.

[Thorner]

Dahlin's best offensive play so far. That was awesome. 

I can't believe we have that to look forward to for 20 years.

[darksabre]

That goal was a series of classic "heads up" plays. Okposo picking up Dahlin and McCabe seeing an opportunity to cycle down low are things that mentally tuned in players do. 

These penalties are a real problem though. Bogo not having a great outing so far. 

[Brawndo]

Foligno was going for another hit on Dahlin. 

 

Risto or Bogo need to say hello to their old friend

They are taking too many runs. Bogo, Larsson, Scandella, Girgensons and Risto better start throwing their weight around. 

[Stoner]

Hip check Dahlin.

MSG had Scandella & Bogosian on the 2nd pairing.  Will be interesting to see which is correct.

And, though I typically wouldn't want the bench shortened much on the 2nd game of a b-t-b, but really hoping that 3rd line only gets about 12 minutes.  That could be scary bad.

That Sobotka line has been much better than I'd feared.  (Their final shift of the 1st not withstanding.)

Gotta stop taking so many bad penalties.

[Tondas]

Lucky to get out of that one just 1 down.  Regroup for the 2nd.

The Sabres didn't have a morning skate today, right?

I hope not after having played less than 20hrs before travelling to this one ?

I'm just pondering MODO's comments about Ullmark looking not himself. It almost looked like his skates weren't sharp enough and he was having trouble keeping up with Minnesota's speed because of it. Perhaps he'll look more settled in the 2nd. 

[Cityo'Rasmii]

go Sabres!

[That Aud Smell]

That pass from Dahlin was *filthy*.

[Cityo'Rasmii]

no question - it was beautious

If you look at the goal, Foligno is trying to line up Dhaline right before he passes.   He does seems to be gunning for Dhalin for some reason.

Prob because he knows eventually will get the result he wants.

Wish Beaulieu was in line-up.

Eichel, what.

[hockeyhound]

Holy Moly, what a masterpiece. Mr. Dahlin, that was a work of art.

Wow, did I say Wow? In case I forgot, Wow.

I love this game.

Let's Go Buffalo!

Just turned on the game and watched the high-speed version of the 1st period, and then it happened. I saw a flash while fast forwarding, and then....

Wow!

Gotta get the puck deep more. We're letting them turn us back above the circles too much.

Ullmark getting a lot of work already. He needs to stop losing his posts though.

The hockey players need to keep it down, they're disturbing the library.

[Brawndo]

Zemgus is having a rough game 

[darksabre]

Way too many unforced errors by our best players.

2 games 2 nites be showin.

Yep.  They just need to keep hangin' around and bury the few opportunities they get.
