Great shift by Larry.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Not looking too bad out there, I'm seeing an awful lot of hooking, poking and grabbing being let go.

They always forget the goal Rob scored with his back to the goal, tipping the puck out of the air between his own legs and the goaltender's — in the playoffs.

That was a beautiful goal.

Damn

[Kristian]

Too easy....

[DarthEbriate]

Blergh.

[Radar]

They just don't seem sharp.

[7+6=13]

McCabe the big goof strikes again

[Wyldnwoody44]

Was that a bad icing call that led to that? 

Either way McCabe... Good D ?

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

The icing leading up to that WPG goal was totally unnecessary.  The Sabres could have easily cleared the zone but dropped it back, got hemmed in and iced it.  TERRIBLE PUCK MANAGEMENT.

It as Mojo who could have cleared the zone but instead dropped it back.

Joker needs to take the blame for that.

Mojo too.  He should have never dropped it back to the defense (before the icing)- he had an open lane to skate it out.

I dunno.  That was a real solid play by Wheeler.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Meh an OK first period, I'm looking to see what we bring in the 2nd and 3rd, if we Want the playoff, we should see an uptick 

[CallawaySabres]

Would you take 1 point right now? I would

He just let's guys get behind him too often.  He spun around for no positive reason.

[Weave]

Boy, you can almost feel Winnipeg starting to gel as the period got late.  This is gonna be a tough game.  We really needed a couple of those chances to go in.  I'm not sure we get many more this game.

[7+6=13]

Johannson comes out too far in net for my liking.

There was another awful and unnecessary icing the very next shift by Miller

Gave ya a thumbs up, but I think we do. That defense is suspect in the PEG, power play MUST convert!

Yep.  Too cute.  We're not talented enough to win on talent alone.  We got to be smart and make the safe play ALWAYS.
