GDT: Big Bad Bruins at Sabres, 3-19-2023 1pm ESPN+, MSG

[K-9]

UPL needed that overturned call, lest his save percentage and GAA suffer unduly.

[Carmel Corn]

Dodged a bullet there....not because of the reversal, but it was another good scoring opportunity but the shot hit the post.

Hathaway beat two Sabres to the puck

Good call…

Sabres forward out of position and gives up an add man rush. 

I had odd man rush against but not specifically what caused it to happen

Hello Teammates, Punch checking in.  
 

Looks like the Sabres are playing as bad as how I golfed this morning. Terrible time on the links.  
 

Just saw the kicked in goal.  This time the refs got it right. 
 

Muscle Weight, Sabres comeback on the way.

Bruins announcers are obnoxious however the intermission gang did a good job of breaking down the Bruins goals

basics :

Starting line  wasn’t ready and the bruins took advantage   Everyone was puck watching 

Sabres defensive structure is non existent

Ooh Aah Sabres not on the warpath

Ooh.  Aah.  Sabres on the golf course.

I wanted them to call that a good goal so that multiple brawls would break out in the arena.

So they’re stating the obvious 👍

Welcome to the board!

Someone needs to smack Frédéric around. Too bad the Sabres have no one to do that. Dahlin is kinda like Risto in that spot. He'll agitate, but won't drop the gloves.

They should have given KO some games off through out the year.   Looks old and slow now 

[JohninMinn.]

God I can't stand fans banging on the glass. What morons.

Apparently not that obvious.

[Believer]

About time Dahlin showed some grit… Been missing last half of season… Leaders gotta lead

Number of posts about goaltending in this thread from puck drop until the end of the first period, not including posts quoted by Promo The Robot or posts by Promo The Robot: 16
Number of posts in this thread in that time span: 140

Is that unreasonable somehow? Go back to the start of this game. There are dozens of posts, two mention that UPL sucked on the first goal. You immediately jumped in and quote tweeted BOTH OF THEM, talking as if they represented the state of the whole thread at the time, and the next 20 posts about goaltending were solely responding to you, you started all of it and kept it going. It is so clear what's going on when you aren't in the heat of it, go back and read from the beginning. You were laying in wait and were always going to jump on anyone who wanted to say something on the subject. You were already dialed up to 10, instantly ready to pounce the first time anyone said anything. 

Promo, THIS is what a crusade looks like, not 16 people out of 140 mentioning the goalie, one of 6 players on the ice 

I counted 10 about the defence through 5 pages and stopped counting

Not really, they never said the Goaltending was bad......

You're a good bloke, Marvin.  I'll go back to lurking soon.

We are legion.

Reality check here. We know this team is the youngest team in the league and shows its inexperience and inconsistency on many nights. It's been an exciting team this year -- until playoff hockey started. On a yearly basis, this is the time of year when the best teams tighten up, batten down the hatches and don't play pond hockey anymore. A good comparison last year was the type of year Quinn was having with the Amerks, but when the playoffs started, he was just shut down. Lots of our guys can't tolerate playoff hockey. We're just too weak and inexperienced and don't have the goaltending, defense or coaching to compete with this different and non-forgiving brand of hockey.

This collapse at the end, especially with the tougher back-loaded schedule, was all too predictable.
