GDT: Sabres at Flames, THURSDAY 12/05/19, 9:00 pm ET

[Nitro60]

Can they refuse a power play???  Geez

[matter2003]

This team should probably start declining penalties. Their PP is just terrible and they have allowed double or triple the shorthanded goals as they have scored PP goals the past month and a half. Pathetic.

Really someone posted a stat where he had the most. Or that's what I thought, maybe it was worst ratio of giveaways to takeaways. 

Giveaways are the most useless stat in all of sports, because they aren't tracked with any accuracy/consistently applied standard

There's no chance that more pucks go from his stick to the other team's than McCabe, Risto, and probably more

[Pimlach]

The Calgary PA guy sounds like he is doing WWF. 

[Gatorman0519]

Our special teams must be worst in the league.  Serious sign of coaching that both the PP and PK are losing the season.  

[John Tucker]

That was a bad play by Skinner not backing out of zone when he saw Jokiharju was in trouble.  Bad play by Joker but also on Skinner...

Nope. Not worst in the league. But getting there! 

[Tondas]

Our PP reminds me of the Four Corners Stall in Basketball.

Well you are arguing two different things. You said there was "zero" chance he was even top 2 in D giveaways. And, by the stats, he is. He has 17 (before today) and Dahlin is worst with 18. 

Your second "no chance", I don't see how we can verify that if we can't put stock in the actual stat, like you said we shouldn't. So...ya.

They're driving me nuts with how much they keep talking about their new forward lines and how it's causing fits for the Sabres... They obviously don't realize how much we suck in our own zone regardless of what friggen line gets thrown out there

[Gatorman0519]

Why does this team revert back to the same bad habits so quick?  We needed to put together a run to make up for a disastrous November.  

[Carmel Corn]

On the next Calgary penalty, Buffalo should seriously consider just playing a normal 5 man unit with 3 forwards and 2 D-men.  Pathetic, but I rather see them play it like a normal 5 on 5 situation.  

[Crusader1969]

I might be wrong but I do think they are 1 for 1 playing Risto in front of the net on the PP.  why they Haven’t gone back to that is beyond me! 

[Brawndo]

Sigh 

[Nitro60]

4 on 2

 

[Gatorman0519]

Well this ones over 

[Randall Flagg]

Skinner showing us why none of his billion goals for us are one-timers.

[Stoner]

Bogosian, master of the olé.

[Doohicksie]

***** me.

[SwampD]

Is Bogo a minus 3?

[Nitro60]

Slow in getting back

I loved Miller being repulsed over and over by some kind of slot force field.

[Nitro60]

I am all for blowing up the roster.  Need infusion of heart and grit.  

[Pimlach]

We stopped staking.  We stink in our zone tonight, just back up and struggle to breakout cleanly.  

[Zamboni]

Now THAT one, Ullmark should have anticipated that one and been in better position. Meh. Perfectly placed shot too.
