DarthEbriate Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Well that was a crummy spot of hockey until Dahlin, Skinner, and Reino made a 5 on 3 look like it should. Time for gin. Make it dirty, and spit it in. Quote

Tondas Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Linus took one right off the mush and looked a little strange after that. Wouldn't be surprised to see Hutton in the 3rd. Quote

SwampD Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Set up perfectly for a third period comeback win. 4 Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Another problem tonight is their goalie is straight up playing better than ours. Linus is holding it together, so far. Quote

But if I'm Toronto, I take Buffalo's four 1st round picks... and then sign Skinner with the money reserved for Marner. Quote

Tondas Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 On a positive note, Dahlin is now only 5 points behind Bobby Orr for 18 year old defensemen. 2 Quote
jame Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) If we’re gonna bring back the offersheet, do it for Point. side note: some GM is going to do it in the next year or so (make the offersheet a real tool again)... the exponential growth in the 2nd year contract/RFA costs is catching up... its hitting Toronto and Tampa now. GMs will have to accept that the best pathway to elite talent may be poaching it, because NOT making the offersheet allows great teams to bully great players into well below market contracts... see Kucherov bridge deal. Cant allow Tampa/Toronto to have great players at great costs Edited February 26, 2019 by jame 2 Quote
sweetlou Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Just shows how one call can change the whole complexion of a game. Sabres played well the first and then had a phantom trip call that gave Leafs the PP and goal, which led to the momentum. Wheels fell off after that. No PP, no goal maybe Sabres have better second period. Quote

The goals against in the second period happened when they stopped skating and started standing around. In my eyes it was a drop off in effort after they got too comfortable Absolutely. We outplayed them for most of the first. We just stopped playing right after the first PK. Look at Hunwick standing next to Taveras but not tying him up in anyway. On the Mathews goal we watched the puck bounce around, unfortunately to the wrong guy. Sure, Toronto has better talent, especially at forward, but we can play with them. Looking forward to a rally and a 5-4 win tonight boys. Quote

Until we learn how to play better immediately following a goal against we're going to be in the top-10 for picks. Yuck. I hate typing that. Quote

If they can’t make it happen with Mitch, they aren’t going to make it happen with Skinner. If Skinner hits open market someone will match Stone’s deal. They desperately need to upgrade their defense, you would think they go for that. Quote
