GDT/ Buffalo Sabres @ Vancouver Canucks Tuesday 10pm 3/19, ESPN+ MSG & WGR Radio

God please come out in the 2nd and don't suck 

[K-9]

Looked like we found our legs a bit as the period wore on, but we are fortunate to only be down one.

VO really is a wimp. Crushed by Quinn Hughes.

He really is. Softer than baby 💩 

[CallawaySabres]

Off to bed....leaving this game thinking zero chance we win this one. Maybe a miracle when I wake up.

[Slack_in_MA]

MIracle it's a one goal game.

[Believer]

Overwhelmed but hanging in there… Need some attack and shooting… Get the message across, Coach 

[thewookie1]

Agitation to no end how Vancouver looked disinterested playing Washington but against Buffalo they skate like guns are trained on them.

[Crusader1969]

Well the last 4 mins or so weren't terrible 

Good news is that the top notch coaching staff will make the adjustments necessary to right the ship 

Matt Ellis is googling frantically - power play strategies for perimeter players as we speak 

[French Collection]

That cross check by Dahlin was like 2 feet above the ice. Brings back memories of the non call on Greenway. High stick was nullified because it was too low to the ice. Could’ve called something, the guy was bleeding for f*** sakes.

OK I’m over it now.

[Porous Five Hole]

I like the escape only being down a goal.  The hangover from everything going right in Seattle was obvious.
 

I expect a much better period from the Sabres in the 2nd.

Absolutely. We just get so overwhelmed with culture we sometimes minimize the impact of the rest of the world. She’s big overseas but not CLOSE to Ronaldo big. Billions of fans overseas 

That's the master plan. Dump Kelce and start dating a real footballer from abroad.

She'd be the Weapon of the Century. Cobra Commander on every TV channel in the world level of power.

[Thorner]

A good question is: Beyoncé vs Taylor at their height. Who’s bigger? 

Peak you’d have to say Taylor I THINK

He's graduated to ChatGPT.

If I’m DG:  *flips table*  “F the Xs and Os, you just are flat out not hustling as hard as them, you don’t think you’re as good as them, you’re admiring their passing, you’re standing around when you don’t have the puck hoping someone makes a play, you pass the puck hoping it gets there - get your heads out of your ***es and play every shift like it’s the season.  Because it is.  I’m playing the guys that look like they give af.”  
 

 

Actual DG:  “You guys did a good job in those last 2 minutes to get a little more zone time.  Excellent job.  Just keep that up.  My bad on the challenge that’s on me.  Ok let’s go.”   

[SwampD]

Van looks much better than Seattle.

***** the Nucks!

Time to break the streak and score.

[Thorner]

Sabres would actually drop to 13th in east by points % if we can’t find a way to pull this one out so..we best get this done 

[Crusader1969]

I feel fairly confident that Tuch has the worst passing accuracy on the team 

[Stads]

"We have to have a presence with the puck in the offensive zone"

Thanks Chet. Sounds like pretty good advice

But has highest MPH per pass so it evens out

[Doohicksie]

The Sabres have this habit of dusting off the puck before they do anything with it, especially in the defensive zone.  When they do that the Canucks close FAST.  By delaying the Sabres are actually pressuring themselves, taking away time and space for them to do anything and giving Vancouver a chance to disrupt the Sabres' passes and clears.

[French Collection]

Benson going to the net, awesome for a kid to do, but sad that he’s one of the only guys doing it.

Skinner could give him a run for the $.

[JohninMinn.]

Sabres hanging around you never know. We're pretty good in the third too.

[DarthEbriate]

It's a pretty interesting strategize to give up the 1st goal and then play in Alamo Death Star Mode the rest of the game.

[ska-T Chitown]

Those last few minutes were not so bad.

[SwampD]

Does Matt Ellis know that we don’t see what he sees in the mirror? I sure hope he knows that he is at ice level and the cameras are much higher. Actually, I kinda hope he doesn’t realize it.

[French Collection]

Levi is gaining some confidence, little by little.
