which is why Gilbert gets very limited minutes.  He rushed the clear and gave it away.  

I hear ya Pim, but the other physical play, I want a McKee 😂

Check the water bottles for Vodka..

[DarthEbriate]

Burakovksy is lucky he plays in the 2020s and not the 1990s. He loves just dawdling across the center of the ice inside the blue line. There's no Scott Stevens type lining him up.

[Pimlach]

Is anyone else tired of Dunleavy and his doom and gloom?  Ray too.    
 

Stop talking about the two goal lead BS.  WTF.  

[PonyBoy2]

Danny Gare? 

[Night Train]

Dead legs..

[Brawndo]

2-2

My first hunch was Housley, but I think Gare scored on his 1st shift.

Pierre Turgeon came to my mind too..

Byram is off drifting.

[Cascade Youth]

You could tell within ten seconds of the second period that they didn’t feel like working anymore today.  The whole operation is rotted.

[Billznut]

Sabres can’t handle prosperity very well. Another sign of an immature and inexperienced team.

He lost his stick on back-to-back shifts or 2 out of 3.

And, of course, he wanders in alone and untouched on that goal.  This team's defense is maddening.

[Nitro60]

Well that stinks.  

[Believer]

Damn.

Another goal against inside a minute left in a period.

You’d think Ruff would have them alert to this bad pattern as he sends out late lines..

[Slack_in_MA]

What a craptastic period that was.

Still thinking about Stevie Nicks

 

[caseydean]

We got this.  Just a hunch.

[bob_sauve28]

This is where a good PP gets you back your mojo. 

[Pimlach]

This team has trouble with shift changes in the second period.  They just cannot keep fresh players out there.  They get pinned in and they tire out.  They ice the puck a lot, they lose face-offs, and it goes on.   A lot of the little things hurt them.
