GDT: Sabres @ Edmonton Oilers 1/25/25 4:00 PM EST; MSG, ESPN+

[Carmel Corn]

Muel and Power are a bad combo, especially Muel lately.  Too slow, too late, too soft…useless in his own zone

[GoPuckYourself]

Samuelsson and Power are hot garbage once again.

[Believer]

Geez.

Get sloppy.

Get scored on.

[gomper]

Samuelsson. Unreal.  You can take the body buddy. It's legal. 

[DarthEbriate]

Reimer couldn’t move his stick because of Perry. But for the sanity of the game I don’t want that to be goalie interference. Perry wasn’t in the crease and Cozens helped push him to the post. 

[mjd1001]

I don't know how much I want to blame the Defense there.

There are times you want to take the body, times you want to play the position. They were in correct position with their sticks free, and that goal probably wouldn't have been scored had Reimer had his stick free.

Just kinda back luck Cozens ties up his guy against Reimer and he can't use his stick.

Called for Samuelson to be packaged and traded months ago.

Complete bust.

[ExWNYer]

Reimer is helpless because he gets his stick caught in the net. You just can't make up this stuff. It's a new "waddaya know?" every game.

So I figure this is probably accurate but not official. But we must lead the league in:

-Empty net goals against

-Scoring, only to have other team answer back less than a minute later

-giving up multiple goals within a minute

 

Seem about right?

Also

-giving up a goal when one of your players doesn’t have a stick

His only option would’ve been to channel his inner Hasek and toss the stick away immediately and go diving for the block. But most goalies aren’t that guy. 

[GoPuckYourself]

I hope they re-sign Reimer, regardless when this team collapses in the 3rd he's been a bright spot and I can't remeber when we had a solid backup goalie, heck he could probably battle UPL as I haven't liked his play at all this season.

[Believer]

Reimer keeping us in it.

Can’t get the puck. Can’t clear the puck. 

[PonyBoy2]

That Discover commercial Dwayne Jetski was funny!

Haven't seen that one yet 😀

[mjd1001]

I think Cozens is actually having a pretty good game. Well, good for him at least.

Outside of taking out Samuelsson early in the game, hes coming back on defense but staying (mostly) in the center of the ice, and he is going to the net in the offensive zone.

[Believer]

Not bad.

Seesaw period.

At least they’re consistent about it.

Ok, after watching the replay of that last Edmonton Goal....

I do not think it was on Power and Samuelsson at all, they were where they should be.  The reason that goal was scored as Reimer having hims arm and stick pinned against the near post and not being able to get over. He gets over, that isn't a goal.

Cozens pinned the Edmonton player into Reimer, maybe he should have realized he was impeding his own goalie (he didn't hit him, he held him there against Reimer).

So dumb/un-aware play there by Cozens that helped contribute to a goal against......But other than that, he has played pretty well positionally from what I can tell.

[Believer]

Need to come out with some buzz.

Set the tone. Stay physical. Keep hitting.

Attack. No hesitation. Shoot and go to the net.

[Pimlach]

Good day Teammates.  

I’ll catch the 3rd period.  Go Sabres!

Admit it.  You really like Cozens.  😆 

[Believer]

Sooner or later Adams will be forced to deal.

Unload Samuelson, get a RHD and a Forward, sign Byram with a 3 yr deal. No more long term contracts.

[OverPowerYou]

I’m just tuning in to see them choke the game away 

[Believer]

Oh no.

Another PP.

[ExWNYer]

At least they shot and had some chances on that power play although the results were still the same.

[mjd1001]

Kulich is playing better now than earlier in the year and the reason why is something I don't usually attribute much too...confidence.

His few games in the past or earlier this year, he was out there but wasn't so quick to shoot, he was deferring to line-mates more, wasn't as aggressive.

Now it looks like he 'feels' like he belongs more. He is quicker to take a good shot. 

Hopefully that translates to his game continuing to improve.
