GDT - Sabres @ Washington - December 21, 2018 - 7:00 PM NBCSN

[Doohicksie]

They're skating way from recoverable pucks in the defensive zone.

 

And how do you not score when you get the goalie that far out of the net?

[MODO Hockey]

Active coaching, please. Put connor with jack

I would have skated through the goalie or dropped an elbow on him for coming out that far from his crease..........

[bunomatic]

These officials need to at least appear neutral. Imo the optics look bad when they are joking around with players.

[Brawndo]

Play like this for the third period and they might actually score

I don't see that happening.

Just no excuse. Sheary puked all over himself after making a great play to keep it in. Give it to Risto down low and it's in the net. 

[bunomatic]

Girgs gets the best look of the period. Somethings not right wit that.

[darksabre]

Pretty even game. Kinda boring. That Holtby play was fun.

They're doing the ol' rope-a-dope at this point trying to get to the 3rd.

It was the Caps trying to hang on in that last minute of the second.  They need to take it to them in the third.

[MODO Hockey]

Holtby is one great goalie, reads the game so well. We look like a team of bums out there though, no way we win this one or even tie it if it keeps looking this bad.

 

How can we be this inconsitant, so utterly pathetic. Guys making millions of dollars playing like a bunch of noobs, GOD!... COME ON

[Gatorman0519]

4 periods since we scored last... several games since someone not on scoring line #1 has put one in 

[MakeSabresGrr8Again]

There's been talk around here about Burakovsky...I like what I've seen tonight. Could be a good piece for the future and now.

[Stoner]

I keep seeing all this NHL player artwork that's not nearly as good as what Jo does!

[bobs0108]

Play a good third period and we have this game. It’s not like Washington is playing that great this game.

People don't like good art. They like mediocre art. I keep telling Josie she needs to be deliberately worse but she won't do it

Me neither, active coaching does not even excist with our coaches. Zzzz...

[Pimlach]

Down by 1 going into the 3rd. 

We can steal this game if we have a great period.  Protect Hutton and get after them.

He moved Elie up with Okposo and Mittelstadt.

I think they are playing decent just not finishing. 

[Pimlach]

I’m thinking Tage is a talented guy but he could use some time in Rochester.  Maybe playing down there until he dominates at the AHL level is needed to build his game   

 

Bring up Olofsson and try it.

And toward the end of the period they started the dreaded attempted picking off of corners.

?

That is not active coaching to me, i see connor on fire. Elie is just elie and wont make any difference to whatever line he plays at.

Really? Maybe im blind then .. guess 3rd will show

[Stoner]

Hutton's telling the ref about the penalty shot the other night.
