GDT: Detroit Red Wings @ Buffalo Sabres 12/9/24 - 7:00 PM EST - MSG, FDSNDET, WGR550

[Big Guava]

Sabres just need to play Detroit more and all their problems would be solved. They seem to always score tons of goals against them at home especially.

Nice work along the boards by Zucker…..first star for sure tonight!!!!

He made the really smart play holding the puck for a second to spring McLeod ... then he <checks notes> yeah, skated hard and got back in the play.

Is inversely proportional to the heat of the meat.

Shaky start by Johnson, but he's having a good game so far

So, near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. The negative goal differential. The rebuild obviously not working. No wins in December. That disappointing 1 goal loss to Colorado last week.  Only points in the last 2 weeks being OT loss points.

The Red Wings sure are bad.

And yet everyone still loves to give Stevie Y mouth hugs...

Kind of ironic….our hockey teams are bad….but our FOOTBALL teams are pretty good!

Kozak is playing responsible hockey.  He is making a good showing for his first call up.

He should have 2 goals as well, but …….

He did a good job in Tampa, I won't say he didn't, but it was set up pretty well for him when he got there.

He already had 2 #1 overall picks on the roster in Stamkos and Hedman.  He had 5 first round picks in the next 4 years coming, including 2 top 10 overall. He had Veteran stars on the roster to bring the young guys along (St. Louis, Lacavalier).

And most importantly, he had 2 BIG things that Detroit doesn't......Low taxes and Palm trees.

He shut me up right quick.  He has a role on this team.

If you wanted to give Lindy some credit...maybe when he gets call-ups for the first time his initial conversation with the young guy and setting of expectations is impactful?

[HumanSlinky39]

Reimer gives up lotsa rebounds.

[Carmel Corn]

Zuch lost his lid there

[Pimlach]

Whoa.  Whoever hit Zucker needs to answer.  Terrible non-call ref.

Solid frame. Win the third, win the damn game.

He’s a big improvement over Lafferty.

Man I give it to Zucker. Guy has been great this year and genuinely looks happy to play here. That’s why Adams should’ve gotten more guys like him. He got one. Would’ve liked 2 more.
