Anyone else hearing a whistle blow, like from crowd or something?

I see blowing.

[Believer]

Geez do we look bad in the last two minutes… 

[bob_sauve28]

Won the first! 👍

[Pimlach]

I didn’t like the way they played.   They have been outshot and outhit.  Yet they lead.  

UPL had to be stellar and was.  

[Believer]

Philly clearly the aggressor in our own house… We never learn.

Flyers are playing fast. We look a half step behind. They're beating us to pucks and getting chances off those possessions.

But their goalie looks shaky. The problem with the Tommy Dangles goal by Tage, now everyone is juking instead of just shooting.

Caps up 2-0 over the Canes

It’s officiating. And every minute of every game I’ve ever watched has been poorly officiated. So much so that it doesn’t even cross my mind. They made the worst officiating in the history of any league the standard for their sport.  Unfortunately, no one that’s been running the Sabres have bother to cater to it.  In a league that allows on ice assault.  We assemble a team of figure skaters. 
 

If they drove the net and played through the body they would be up 4-0. They try to dance around every check, never hold their ground in front of the net or understand that when a whiny puss like Konecy is facing the boards, if you touch him he’s Greg Louganis.  Hockey 101 and these dipshits can’t figure it out.

Joker didn’t play the body.  He got duped by a bitch.  He barely touched him.  He has to know what he can and can’t do in that situation.  Anything else is complete situational unawareness.  Not only do they not use their bodies they don’t use their brains either.

Yep.  The Sabres are more talented at every single position.  Every player on Buffalo is immensely more talented than Philly but their team has to do the greasy stuff to win.  They aren’t going to dangle or deke m. They are coming straight to the crease. It’s maddening that Buffalo is behind them in the standings. Their lineup is garbage. 

[inkman]

Hey Duffer, that wasn’t a wonderful period.  The Sabres should have scored at least 4.  This team just doesn’t have the conviction it takes to play winning hockey.  Everyone is trying to dangle instead of forcing the puck to the center of the ice where their teammates should be, but unfortunately have no idea that’s how you score goals.
