GDT: Penguins @ Sabres, Friday, 12/9/22, 7pm MSG

[Wyldnwoody44]

I only caught the 3rd. But an NHL goalie simply CANNOT give up that goal from that angle.

 

Skinner just sealed the L with his stupidity.

It was also dumb of Anderson to overreact like that.  

His arm got slashed after the whistle had blown. I don’t blame him at all. Skinner was stupid plain and simple

Jack Quinn had an awesome pass to Okposo for that goal. Faked the shot and no looked it to Okposo. 

[Thorner]

That was a really nice pass from Quinn to KO. Crisp and right on target

[SwampD]

It was a good game. We got a point. I know we're chasing them, but it's still better than nothing.

[Gatorman0519]

The difference between a young and talented team vs a well coached veteran team was on full display. I expect a lot more heartbreaks like this all year. It’s the price that has to be paid to learn.

Casey arrives.  3 assists tonight so far.

Yea but it's a round trip ticket,  he'll depart by tomorrow. 

[Pimlach]

I think we learn a lot about this team tomorrow.  

[GASabresIUFAN]

Defense was better with the new pairings.  Anderson should have stopped that 3rd goal. Jarry and the post kept Pit in the game early.  

[Carmel Corn]

Unfortunate ending....but I'm not going to pi$$ in Skinner's cornflakes...he was trying to stand up for a teammate.  He failed to control his stick....but he was pretty jacked up and sometimes you have to be to stand your ground.

[Thorner]

Cozens and Dahlin were solid I thought

Best game in months by Casey’s line.  

Yippee. The fact we describe their time between good games in months says it all.

[KC Scouts]

Let’s not lose sight of the fact that we outplayed them for most of the game. We did not score when we should have. 
 

ONCE AGAIN, the other teams goalie is better in a close scoring game. 
 

NO GOALIE = NO progress in the standings. 
 

Are we a better team this year? Yes

Are we exciting to watch? Yes

Are we moving up in the standings? NO

It’s better than never arriving at all.  Seriously, I think Jost gave them a boost.  They were much more physical and were driving the middle.  Excellent passing by Casey on the first 2 goals.

No I'm pissed at Cozens. He walked in 3 times in the pp only to pass it off. Shoot, Tage is drawing coverage just by standing across from you. Use that space and stop the cutesy drop pass bs.

Maybe it’s the start of a positive trend.

We tied it up on a non-trip on Crosby.

The Sabres did it to themselves tonight.

Crosby tripped him with his leg.

Excellent? On the second goal he barely gets it to Jost who fires the pass to Olofsson. Am I not remembering that right?

I appreciate your finer point, but I can’t say any game is good when we just give it away like that. Flat out gifted them the win.

I don’t understand how what happened to Anderson had anything to do with Skinner and Genzel.  
 

Their scrum was not even close to Anderson.  They were going at it for another reason not seen by the ref apparently.  
 

The veteran team kept is close when they were getting outplayed.  Then they won the 3rd and stole the game. 

[Believer]

Run at Anderson that prompted the penalty to Skinner was probably purposeful to take Anderson and the Sabres off their game…

That seems to be what they have been trained to do. Every single pp starts with that dumb drop pass

The bad news is UPL is in net tomorrow. This was our chance to grab 2 points.
