GDT: Bruins (booooo) visit keybank center. 6pm FO. MSG-B, NESN.

Looks like UPL off again. Could have stopped that.

Sabres awful in our D zone.

 

[SABRES 0311]

The Sabres should know it doesn’t take a perfect shot or play to score. Plenty of teams score on them off weak plays.

[Believer]

Boys need to shoot the puck tonight. We will need the goals.

JJP with the giveaway, now 2-0.  Muel was as slow as a mule reacting to the turnover.  Quinn not able to prevent the shot.  UPL looked asleep on that one too.

There was a turnover, but that was a makeable save.

Indeed.  Too many passes.  Shoot and get bodies to the net. 

[Wyldnwoody44]

For as good as they played last night, the exact opposite it true tonight

How is this not offside? 

[Believer]

If the Sabres won’t help UPL in the D zone, they better help him in the O zone.

Shoot. Shoot. Shoot.

Pastrnak didn't touch the puck in the zone and the player tagged up

I've had enough of that JJP, Quinn McLeod line. Its just not working well overall.

As I mentioned above though, UPL needs to stop that. The first goal wasn't on him, but the 2nd one was.  He saw it, wasn't screened that much and it was a weak shot on top of all of it.

On 2nd look, was the puck tipped before getting by UPL? Possibly, that takes a bit off of him, but it wasn't tipped that much and he still left the near side open.

Oh true. He didn’t “bring it in” he just shot it in

I think the rule is dumb. If the puck comes out of the zone, all players should have to leave the zone before the puck re-enters

Same. I forgot they need control 🙄

The officials give the same amount of s#it about this game as the Sabres do

[Brawndo]

Lindy’s inconsistency with players is maddening at times. 

Benson has an awful turnover that results in a goal and he gets benched for the rest of the period

Peterka does the same thing and he is out on the Top PP about a minute later 

[Big Guava]

Better hope they can score 6+ goals if they want to win with the human sieve in net tonight.

Perhaps it's been something Benson has done and been talked to about multiple times over the last week whereas it hasn't with Peterka?

 

Peterka almost singlehandedly ended the game 3 times yesterday against TB with his effort plays and steals and strips of the puck...kinda hard to bench someone after you just watched that for one mistake the next day.

Feel like it's been Lindy's MO since forever.

Peterka is light years ahead of Benson as a player. I’m sure Lindy was equally upset at both players but Benson is expendable.

On the first goal, I don't put that one on UPL.

As much as I don't like UPL's play lately, he was playing the shooter which is what I want him to do on that first goal.  I don't think he was out of position, the rest of the team was.

About 3 seconds before the goal was scored (see picture and diagram below), Boston had 2 guys open and uncovered on the near side of the ice.  ALL 5 Sabres players were on the far side of the ice, every single one. 

I can't even blame the D-men, once the D-man goes into the corner to chase the puck (he should), his partner shades over to the center of the ice (he should). Its on the Forwards to take the upper near wing. The forwards didn't do that.

That first one's not on UPL, its on the other 5 guys, mostly the forwards in my opinion.

Now the 2nd goal, to me that is all on UPL, you have to stop that, no questions asked.

Nah the forwards are fine we don’t need to add at forward 

Defence guys play defence

I’m guessing there are untouchables on the roster by Adams

Not defensively or forechecking. 

"Benson is expendable" gonna hold on to that one for a bit.

Who is more likely to score on the PP, Benson or Peterka?

This is the single worst post in the history of the board.
