Randall Flagg Posted October 13, 2023 Report Posted October 13, 2023 The bottom 3 Sabres in ice time that period were Tage, Skinner and Tuch. 3 minutes 30 seconds each. Galaxy brain move from Donny 1 Quote
Mango Posted October 13, 2023 Report Posted October 13, 2023 6 minutes ago, Pimlach said: It’s the first period of the first game of an 82 game season. We are playing 2 rookies. 1. The Rangers actually do have a better team. 2. The Rangers have lots of veterans and one of the best goalies in the league 3. Give the Sabres a chance. 4. The whining about Power and Benson is ridiculous. 5. I don’t see the Sabres backing down or playing that bad Will you guys stop over analyzing this. Dude, I literally said “he’ll be fine”. I was just pointing out that he looked slower/the game looked faster than pre season. That was it. Full stop. And this is the second time you are referencing it. I’m not complaining about Benson. Literally just pointing out an observation. He also had a nice opportunity at the end of the period. Again, he’ll be fine: Quote

The guy in the Sabre space forum said so. 🤦♂️ Sabrespace, you cannot point out any mistakes or bad plays. Ever. The Sabres don't make those. If you do that, you are declaring them a bust and the season over 2 1 Quote
Doohicksie Posted October 13, 2023 Report Posted October 13, 2023 If I'm Donny, I get Cupcake down to the dressing room during the first intermission and have her say something like: "YOU'RE HERE TO HONOR RJ! ****ING PLAY LIKE IT!" Quote
rickshaw Posted October 13, 2023 Report Posted October 13, 2023 If the rangers gonna play the trap or whatever version they’re calling it (boring) it’s gonna be tough to come back. Their goalie is top notch. Need an early one next period. Make it interesting. Benson is a beauty. Quote

Fox knew the ref was behind him and the others to his right, it was a heady move. Still garbage. We need to pull stuff like that 1 Quote

mjd1001 Posted October 13, 2023 Report Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) Some 'kinda' breakdowns on both goals allowed. First goal, Jokiharju played the center of the ice when his D-partner was already there, leaving Lafrieniere uncovered. Now, was that Jokiharju's mistake? or with no trailer on that side should Okposo skated a bit harder to cover that side? Either way, looks like 'kinda' a breakdown/bad decision by Jokiharju or Okposo not getting back quick enough. 2nd goal: They just lost positioning on the PK. Johnson was a bit sloppy with the puck about 10 seconds before the goal. Krebs should have covered/pressured Kreider to prevent that goal, but why didn't he? Okposo looks like he got WAY too aggressive and went out to far to try to play the pass/puck when there really wasn't a chance to do so....Okposo took himself so far out of position that Krebs had to shade toward the center of the ice to cover as much area as he could until Okposo got back into position. Johnson then moves 'up' to cover Krebs spot. By the time Okposo gets back into the zone facing the right way, now you have Okposo, Krebs and Johnson all standing still with no one to pressure the shooter. First goal looked to be possibly on Jokiharju, with him getting a pass if he thought Okposo would be back and he didn't make it. The PP goal allowed started with Johnson not getting a loose puck out, was compounded by an over-agressive play by Okposo that didn't need to happen at that point. Not a good looking 20 minutes for Okposo. Edited October 13, 2023 by mjd1001 1 Quote

OverPowerYou Posted October 13, 2023 Report Posted October 13, 2023 RJ’s family is there and it’s a sellout. The Sabres always win these special games right? Should’ve worn the magic goat heads I guess 1 Quote
rickshaw Posted October 13, 2023 Report Posted October 13, 2023 Levi should’ve poked the puck away on the first goal. He made the save and the rebound was close enough to do so. He didn’t and we saw the result. Quote

Missed lots of tears with RJ tribute & lots of physicality mixed with jitters/emotion by Sabres, bad reffing, and a 1st Period to flush out of our system to settle down and get to our solid game in the 2nd.

NYR playing one high at blue line! What is this dead puck NJ devils era? Really like the way Krebs has looked. We need to find a greater opportunity for him Quote
