GDT: Sabres @ Penguins - Nov 11, 2023 - 7:30pm, MSG/ESPN+📺WGR📻

[RETURNTOGLORY]

Four critical issues from the past several years that have not changed and are a HUGE factor in the lack of success with this team.

1) Refuse to shoot the puck.

2) The absolute worst team in the NHL in clearing the puck from their zone.

3) Horrid on face-offs.

4) Refuse to hit. Teams are fearless when they play the Sabres.

[Carmel Corn]

Passing is simply AWFUL

[Randall Flagg]

Nice team Kevyn 

holy ***** this is embarrassing

Pittsburgh games remain the undefeated champion of exposing the Sabres

[Big Guava]

One of the sloppiest games on both sides that I've seen this year...players can't even make simple passes to wide open people it seems.

[GoPuckYourself]

We don't even belong in the same rink as the Penguins right now, who coaches these guys? This is pathetic!

[Stads]

Never should have gotten a penalty there. Move your feet and get the damn puck out!

[Pimlach]

I am not certain that playing a 7-11 is gonna work tonight.  The forward lines are all juggled up and they have no flow.  Could be a big problem in the 3rd when legs start to go. 
 

We need to win this period.  This PK is critical.

if this isn’t on don granato then we seriously overvalue our players. 

[Believer]

Got to clear Malkin out of the crease.

Shots close to even… We have twice their Hits tonight… 

[Sidc3000]

Good thing that the pens PP isn’t great

[Pimlach]

Good PK 

Hey all you whiners, you are watching a rested home team against a team that played a tough game last night.  It’s not gonna be pretty.  We will have to steal any points we get tonight. 
 

Don’t jump ship.

One game brother. I'm talking about on a normal basis. 

[Stoner]

Straight cath me, Woody. Save my evening.

[OverPowerYou]

Never thought that I’d miss the line of Vanek Roy and Stafford

Why did the rested home team get walked all over by the road team that traveled the night before, yesterday? Only to be saved by Levi?

Okposo won't carry the puck to the net to save his life. Every shot of his is low danger.

You just pointed out Youth. They should be flying around.

Yeah, that was us last night and we  somehow won through dumb luck despite stinking the joint out as bad as we are tonight.

You don't.

Because the road team has been losing and played really good.  
 

Lots of time.  Period by period.  Win the second and let’s see what we can do.  

[Gatorman0519]

Ryan Johnson is so good.
