GDT Dec 17 2019 Sabres @ Leafs. 7pm ET. NBCSN

[Doohicksie]

Considering how one-sided the play was, I'll take it.

Now win the last two periods.

[Weave]

Well, that was less than optimal.

[Torpedo Forecheck]

Linus was great!

Only down by 1, ULLMARK pulled that out of HIS ass.

Fixed it

[Nitro60]

They are playing at two different speeds. Ullmark is keeping them in the game.  Sluggish and sloppy play so far.

Too many failed clears by Reinhart there 

Don't like his play thus far at all.  Hopefully the 2nd is much different

[Torpedo Forecheck]

Welp! some really ugly metrics for that period.https://www.naturalstattrick.com/game.php?season=20192020&game=20525&view=limited

Ooft pass marks to Linus. But rest??? Poor  period. At least it's only 1 against.

He goes through that in each game or so it seems.

Is not taking the body an actual strategy?  Asking for a friend

That's what I've been screaming by the end of the period.  They keep chasing the puck instead of the man it will be a long night.

The Sabres act like Toronto have contagious diseases.  No one taking the body.  Willing to skate and shadow.

Huh?

[ubkev]

Ok, I'm here now.

[Randall Flagg]

It cannot be exaggerated how much more puck skill Toronto has, both individually and as a unit, than we do 

[7+6=13]

Skinner seems awfully frustrated lately.  

[New Guy]

What have you noticed in the second, Pierre? 

....zzz...

[Slack_in_MA]

Just flat out getting out skated.

[Stoner]

Just where we want em?

I'll show myself out.

You know Billy Sheehan was a Sabres fan when he wrote this:

I bring you up
You let me down again
It's the same every day
And like a seesaw, we keep goin' up and down
Like a seesaw, seesaw, whoa whoa

[Nitro60]

SLOW skate back Kyle.  Watched him cruise until he realized his man was going to get the puck.  Can not play lazy hockey like this.

That can only be understood by posters with lower post counts.
