GDT: 🏒 Buffalo Sabres @ Colorado Avalanche, 15 December 2022, 9:00 PM ET: MSG, WGR

I don’t care what the third period looked like. Five D in thin Denver air was a massive undertaking. So happy for these guys tonight.

[John Tucker]

Think that was their 1st shot on goal this period too!!

[DarthEbriate]

So...  time for maybe another ENG?

Cozens was out with TNT the last few shifts, but then the 2nd line (that gave the up the ERod goal) was Mitts and VO... not the defensive stalwarts you'd think to finish the game.

Girgensons was the other guy out on that line.

[Brawndo]

Great Game Boys 

[Thorner]

Thompson somehow gets the assist even though Colorado touched it in between lol 

[SwampD]

Good win.

[French Collection]

Yesssssssss!

.500 hockey.

Gutted it out with 5 D and a so-so goalie.

[Doohicksie]

 

[Zamboni]

Very impressed with that game 

 

all things considered. Damn good.

[Taro T]

Heck of an effort.

Very nice & needed W.

UPL was terrific.

[John Tucker]

That was as an improbable win as you'll ever see in the NHL!!  

[JohninMinn.]

UPL looked a little clumsy at the end there but overall his size works well. Ken Dryden like.

[Gatorman0519]

Huge win! 

[bunomatic]

Great win. Thats all i got.

[Pimlach]

Nice win.  Very nice.  Played with 5 defensemen and held up. 

[Porous Five Hole]

UPL deserves a 👍👍👍 post. He was great tonight. 

[Taro T]

1st win out there since '17(?).

Now 2-9 in their last 11 trips out there.

Make it 3-9 next year.

[DarthEbriate]

Good game by UPL and the collapsing defense. Colorado had tons of shots but lots from the outside, and Muel was clearing the crease and denying deflections all around. Would've liked to have gotten a couple more insurance goals, certainly, but it's also good for the kids to learn to grit through and scrap for it.

You ain't seen nothing yet. No team in NHL history has had this many high draft picks. 😉

[SwampD]

The Mule with 31+ minutes TOI. Damn.

[Rasmus_]

Great win, it was a sloppy third, but they fought through it.

Clague played 23:56 today, while Fitzgerald played 14:24 and Pilut played 18:34. Is Clague now 7th on the depth chart when fully healthy? Could he beat out Bryson?

DG has to give them a rest after that performance.
