GDT: 3/18/2021: Boston at Buffalo 7pm MSG-B/ESPN+ WGR A NEW ERA

They always show the goalie after he gives up a goal. I'd like to see him after his team scores.

Okposo fairways hit: 0

[Doohicksie]

I missed the first few minutes of the game and just had a chance to watch the Bruins goal.  All I can say is, if a goalie is going to pass/shoot the puck, under NO circumstances should he give it away like Hutton did just prior to the goal.  That just drives me nuckin futs.

Okposo misses the net by 3 feet that time

You are incorrect.  It was hella lot more than that.

So, is everyone going to get Covid again in this game?

How about a little puck luck for once?

The 74-75 and 75-76 Flyers were the best team I ever saw at scoring right after giving up a goal.  They were mostly goons, but their talented players had skill and heart,  and they had the luxury of playing fearless. 

People forget that their goons were tireless checkers who played a very simple game aside from the hook-and-hold to compensate for their lack of skill.  They were a goonier version of the 1996-2001 Sabres except that they had a top line of HoFers and a good 2nd line.

Hopefully not Covid, but if they all caught chicken pox, it might not be such a bad thing.

Okposo shot from the slot missed the net by a mile.  Really, I’m 62 and I could have put that on net.  
 

This team can’t pass or shoot. Fundamentals are lacking. 

[Norcal]

Look, I'm not saying Thompson is a star but...the kid is playing better.

He is doing things differently than he ever has. If he keeps doing more things he will be ok.

This is ugly.

No uglier than usual.

The Bruins have always drafted and developed big power forwards.  It’s part of their culture and image. I like that.  
 

My love of the NHL goes back to Bobby Orr coming into the league and freaking everyone out with speed and skill.  Best defenseman ever => Bobby Orr. 

[Claude Balls]

I don't think Scotty Bowman could win with most of these guys. Aside from Jack, Taylor and Skinner there is no offensive talent whatsoever. And Krueger seems to have castrated those three as well.

[Randall Flagg]

So we're still not good now?

I’ll be shocked if they do that or are even capable of that. 

The players that can’t do that need to go. 

[Claude Balls]

Was Kruger using a soccer goal during his practices? These guys can't hit a hockey net for *****.

[\GoBillsInDallas/]

Outshot 13-4, losing 1-0.

Yes.  The gooniest team ever most likely.  Their goons played regular shifts too.  They were beasts. 

[Stoner]

You can't teach that.

Did you Hear  RJ  - “ However, he did throw a body check”, like it’s a special event for the Sabres.
