GDT: Washington Capitals @ Buffalo Sabres 01/06/25 7PM ET-- MSG, ESPN+ for out of market

There is our muscle, Peyton Krebs who falls like a sack of potatoes.

[Sidc3000]

The caps commentators are calling that a high hit.  Sure looked like Krebs hit him square in the chest

And now they are getting man handled by men because they are boys.  
 

Peterka with the laziest half hearted back check on the Wilson goal.  It’s all of them.  They just don’t care enough.  None of them outside of Zucker.

The Sabres have a Tom Wilson problem 

Which isn’t as big of a problem that Samuelsson is 

Yup….they have a problem with any power forward who hangs out in the crease area

[Stoner]

Good call, ref.

[HumanSlinky39]

This is such a WEAK hockey team. It's embarrassing.

And they'll trade away Zucker, who takes a beating on the crease..

TNT is dangerous…..when he hits the net! 😁

The Sabres literally can’t respond with the force they need because they don’t have it.  None of these guys are willing or have the size to impose their will.  It affects all facets of the game. They are intimidated.  The GM hung a bunch of skilled kids out to dry with no one on the team that does the dirty work.  It’s the GM and it’s the players.  Just a dubious team with no fix in sight.  Get rid of all of them.  Seriously. 

[Carmel Corn]

Sorry, but why the “F” is Lindy even on the bench when it seems the only coach talking to anybody is Appert.  We all know what’s coming, so just get it over with and make the announcement.

[pi2000]

Every time they show a player on the bench Appert is in their ear.

[Night Train]

Tage..

Now don't float...work !

Did they give the his stats vs Buffalo?

I think Wilson vs the Sabres is something like 13 goals in 26 games (41 goal pace per 82).  Vs the rest of the league he has 149 goals in 768 games (15.9 goal pace per 82)

Need to clone him in the off-season.

I’m advocating for us getting rid of all our young players and our prospect pipeline within reason to get a bunch of veterans. We need to break the curse of this playoff issue before we rebuild imo.

We’ve had the best prospect pipeline what two or three times now during this drought? It’s not doing anything for us because you can’t make anything grow on dead earth. I keep maybe two or three of these guys and just try to maximize the return on the the rest of them.

He has free reign over this team. He feels comfortable. Like the schoolyard bully.

They’ll need to clone him….since he will be no longer a Sabre at some point this season.

OK, that was a nice play by Power (to Tuch)

[CallawaySabres]

Just turned the game on to see they are winning towards the end of the second period. man, that team has castrated the entire crowd.

It is hard to believe that I am actually watching a professional sporting event.

Part of me would be curious to see the team experiment using Byram as a forward.
