Linus looks much better this period 

Yup. But he's also seeing a little less work which helps.

[hockeyhound]

These giveaways must be getting under Huttons' skin.

jeez.

[darksabre]

Um that was not icing. That puck died.

[Nitro60]

Sabres look like the y are tired.  Get some fresh legs in the third.

[...]

So, if Dahlin's physical development follows Eichel's...OMG.

[hockeyhound]

O.k., that was rough but, they're in it.

Let's Go Buffalo!

C'mon!

[darksabre]

Welp, could be worse. I think this game is there for the taking if they can stick to making simple plays to keep Minnesota off the puck. 

[Gatorman0519]

Only 1 goal down... let’s see if they have some gas left in the tank

Marty agrees

 

[Tondas]

Not saying it was his fault, but it looks like Dahlin got pissed after that first goal mix up at the bench.  Since then, he has been a beast.  I think he wants to atone for that and win this for the guys.

[Stoner]

They're getting looks. No one can hit the net. Except Dahlin from Eichel off a faceoff with 2.9 to go. I hope MSG has finally learned to show faceoffs.

Ya, I blame whoever it was that was supposed to be coming on, clearly not paying enough attention.

That goal was Ullmark's fault.  He wasn't focused.  

[pi2000]

Dahlin is a threat every time he's on the ice.  Seems like the game is starting to slow down for him.

Risto, who else.  He got his well deserved minus.

That's not what happened though. The linesman let the players go all the way to the goal line before blowing the whistle. He was waiting to see what the puck did. My understanding is that's not how it's supposed to work. I've seen that scenario so many times now, I'm convinced we have a hybrid-hybrid icing rule.

'Tis the season!  Ho! Ho! Ho!

Not sure how much that Sabres will have left in the tank for the 3rd but it’d be awesome if they could win the period and at least earn a point here.

I didn't catch what happened but, you're right, Dahlin is bringing it.

I almost wonder if they may have eaten into Minnesota's stamina.  It could be a little more even.

This is Minny's 7th game in 12 days and have another tomorrow. they could also be a bit wore out and looking ahead to tomorrow which is a divisional game I believe.

Here We Go!

Let's Go Buffalo!

[Eleven]

Did the Minnesota organist just play the theme from the original Civilization game?  I'm pretty sure that was it!  Awesome.

[Brawndo]

Samson is on Sobotka’s Line 

 

Pommers is on Jack’s 

[Stoner]

Red hot start to this third.

[CallawaySabres]

I have no problem and how they have played this game so far
