GDT: Winnipeg Jets @ Buffalo Sabres 12/5/24 --7 pm MSG

Clifton is an excellent 3rd pair guy.  Another fine PK by him.  The complaints on him I do not understand.  
 

Good period.  They played a better 20 minutes than they did when they were up 4-0 against the Avs.

The is a vocal minority (it seems) that thinks if a D-man is not top-10 in the league in points, he is worthless. I blame Bobby Orr 😉

For everyone who craps on Connor Clifton, he ain't perfect, but he plays with effort.

The line up I want to see.  

JJP         TNT          Zucker

Benson  McLeod   Tuch 

Kozak      Kulich     Cozens

Malenstyn   Krebs   KAB 

        Power Byram

        Bryson Clifton

        Gilbert   Joker   

               UPL 

I thought Zucker looked good with Tage.  I also saw Tuch and McLeod get some chemistry going.  

I think Quinn really must sit down, so Kozak gets a game. 

Get Cozens off of the dot and off of the power play.   Let Kulich have more ice.  

I think Power should also sit, but Dahlin is out so he will play  and he is expected to carry the backline.  

I think Gilbert should play, but expect that it will be Johnson instead.  

 

 

Look here.  Lindy saw my game card.

They were up 4 - 0 in the 2nd and blew it. 2 - 1 inspires nothing in me. Start putting more W's than L's up and I'll start to consider buying tickets, until then, not a penny more.

[Pimlach]

Donnie Edward’s was in. Nice.

I agree.  Its almost as if some people don't want to like him and the moment he makes a mistake they are "trade him, he's awful".

Well, 3rd pair guys are going to make mistakes, so are 2nd pair guys.  For a 3rd pair guy, I think he makes less mistakes than many others in that situation, and when he does make a mistake he often covers up for it.  Plus he's physical.  I'm very very happy with him as a 3rd pair guy.

Do the Jets take any penalties?  

[Carmel Corn]

Yikes….two men down for 2:00

[K012010]

It’s a 100% chance of at least one goal haha

Let’s limit it to one and it’s a W in my book

FWIW, I started my career at GE Aircraft Engines in the late 1980s...

No. Apparently not. Just the lowly Sabres

If we don’t give up a goal on this, I’ll tattoo UPL on my forehead

The Sabres need to start giving players an IQ test before acquiring them.

Didn’t Briere’s son push an empty wheelchair down a flight of stairs?

[Doohicksie]

I'll say it:  I think Power is having a good game.  I also think Bryson is earning his keep.

If only that could have really happened to OJ, who was my childhood hero, BTW.

Boxing out is such a simple fundamental thing…..why has it taken so long to have our defense focus on doing this?  SMH

[Pimlach]

Power and a Joki were dominated. Ugh 

No interference???

[Carmel Corn]

That should be delay of game on the Jets
