GDT: They’re Bad, Islanders at Sabres 2/15/21, 7PM MSG, NBCSN, WGR

[Thorner]

Thompson plays an unfortunate style 

[Brawndo]

Dahlin Borgen Pairing

 

[Scottysabres]

Olofsson really was a steal. Love his speed.

[Broken Ankles]

RFK-  You might want to ensure 44 is on the bench next time Bazzel is on the ice

Would you call that style 'wearing roller skates to play ice hockey?'

Plays a lot smaller than his stature would indicate.

[Brawndo]

Sigh

[bob_sauve28]

Wide open, easy goal 

[jad1]

10 and 44 on the back line has been bad news this game.

[Scottysabres]

Unfortunate they are down by 2, but the islanders are finishing their chances, the Sabres aren't, that is the difference so far.

[Gatorman0519]

New day same result.

I was wondering when this was going to come up..

[Brawndo]

Jokiharju’s Regression since becoming a Sabre is a truly remarkable sight 

[nfreeman]

2 out of the 3 Isles' goals have been of the "get dirty down low" variety.

I don’t see the likelihood of the Isles giving up 3 more goals this game and not scoring anymore.

Or they are getting saves and we are not 

[Slack_in_MA]

Which line has the best odds of finishing a check?

Part of the problem is $30 million of our salary in 3 top forwards has bought us 3 goals total.

I disagree. Olofsson had the open net, he threw it back toward the goalie a bit low, hits the glove, then the post. Top shelf matters?

They've had a couple of slot chances to, failure to launch? Failure to pick a corner? 

 

[Thorner]

Dahlin is having himself a game, he's generating more offense that Jack and Taylor combined. We need more from them, we still don't have the depth of scoring talent to overcome them not producing any given game.

[nfreeman]

Like most of their games this season, the Sabres are very competitive against a good team, but are being let down by lack of production from their top guys, plus lousy goaltending.

JG Pageau and that corner lot Rasmus deeded over to him agree.
