Oh boy here we go. 

[Stoner]

Hutton makes himself as small as possible.

[Claude Balls]

That's more like it

 

[Gatorman0519]

Should be 2-0 there wow.  We dodged a bullet. 

[NE Branch]

What the heck 78?  Who needs enemies when you have friends like that?

Like he's gonna spring into the shot and stop it...no chance

[DarthEbriate]

Oh Bryson! But maybe tied up the tap-in?  Sheesh.

If it actually did deflect, it's not his fault. He was definitely going the wrong way, which would either be evidence of a deflection or defective eyesight 

[DarthEbriate]

And... it took 3 games, but now he's playing like a Sabre!

A communications disruption that mean only one thing: penalty taken.

[Claude Balls]

In Hutton we trust, lol

[Doohicksie]

That was a good penalty to take.

[Norcal]

Hutton is playing scared, pull him now

[DarthEbriate]

Bryson didn't just tie up Hayes... he swiped his face to tie him up. Kill the penalty and it's all good.

Sorry, but that's exactly what I want Bryson to do.  If he doesn't get the high sticking they would have called a hook.  The hook saved a goal.

He knew he messed up so he showed his gritty side

"It was a cluster."

🍺🍺  You can't pull the goalie on the penalty kill just to make it 5 on 5. That' coaching suicide.   🍺🍺

Special teams are definitely improved this year

Not the hook high stick, that's good.  The miscommunication drop pass to the Flyer beside the goal was the playing like a Sabre part.

[John Tucker]

Their passing has been horrendous

 

[John Tucker]

Check that... Their everything has been horrendous

[Norcal]

Oloffson sporting a shiner 

[DarthEbriate]

With less than 10 seconds left it would've been nice to see Mitts take that pass and attack, rather than whack it deep and go for a change. That's on the bench to yell at them to go for the goal and not the change. That's on coaching.

[SwampD]

Boy, if we're seeing the Skinner that Krueger wants today, I'm gonna have to side with Jeff.

 

"So, instead of skating with the puck, even if you have open ice to do it, I want a limp backhand pass in the opposite direction. Look, if we're going to score, I want to only be if we go past all five of their guys, so I want to give them a chance to get back."

This isn't soccer.

Holy cow has the broadcast been awful.

Staal sets up a wide-open Cozens in the slot for the Sabres best chance for the period there and neither guy even mentioned it happened.

A few minutes Earlier, Eakin throws himself in front of a puck on the PK to block a shot that was headed into the open net with Hutton down and out. We get Rayzor “that was a bit of a cluster.” Bryson takes a penalty be lifting Hayes stick to save another goal and we get “Hayes missed the open net” and “Bryson clipped him with a high stick.”

Call what is happening, please. They are so disengaged.
