See what happens when you actually shoot AT the net, Tage.

When your stick makes contact with the puck which has been far for the Sabres today.

There was a lot of pearl clutching on these boards after they dealt Mitts for him.

You can expect the pearl clutching to recommence when Byram cools off and Mitts heats up in Colorado. 

But it’s easy to see why Byram was thought of as a good player with a ton of upside. 

[Believer]

Standing around in our own zone… Playing 5x5 like it’s a PP instead of going after the puck… Lucky to escape that shift.

[GoPuckYourself]

We've missed 4 shots on net and 2 of them should have been easy goals.

Will repost this when Colorado is in the Stanley Cup Final

Surround Mitts with a good team in a winning enviroment with good coaching and I’d expect him to take a step forward. The inverse could be true with Byrum but hopefully not.

I thought they played a good, hard nosed 1st period. Unfortunate bad angle off the body goal and Skinner falling down to start the shortie rush, but over all, they weathered this high end talent Oilers team very well. A lot of stick work and body work against puck movement in the D zone, you can clearly see it breaks up the flow of the oilers slick players.

Failure to bury chances continues to plague this team, and I counted 3 golden opportunities around the Oils net. But if I stand corrected, very good. Need finish, these guys must get the killer instinct back.

1st Period Grade: B-

Mitts was with Nichushkin and Drouin last night. He was on PP2, he’ll get some points.

This is a men’s league Power, a one handed wave at the puck is not enough to keep it in vs a man with two hands on his stick.

[steveoath]

Have they all been playing like poop since they started wearing the turtlenecks? 🤔

[Stoner]

Game is there for the taking. Oilers didn't seal the deal early.

But how would he fare in the PWHL?

Not sure how many here regularly watch the Amerks, but Byram reminds me of Novikov between the speed and willingness to pinch. Weird comparison but now I can’t unsee it.

[rickshaw]

And the we have to find a penalty against Buffalo call.

Honestly we should have 5 goals already.

Need to hit the net.

[Scottysabres]

Come on Boys, you have to bury those chances, pull out the killer instinct in you.

Ha! I think I was having a seizure when I attempted to type 'shorthanded'.

[Believer]

Geez… Missed opportunity there… Only get so many in a game… Wasting ours.

Sorry, couldn’t resist the pun 😝

[Believer]

Good PK

[French Collection]

They have often made opposing goalies look like Hasek but they can’t hit the net today.

Two for two. Now score some goals.

[Doohicksie]

Once again Dahlin too fancy in his own zone.  It's starting to really annoy me.
