GDT: 01/17/25: Pens vs. Sabres — (7pm EST(

[Ralonzo]

One thing I found humorous was the replay on the 3rd goal where Samuelsson and Clifton both had epiphanies on either side of the net that they ****ed up and did the exasperated look up to the heavens in stereo.

My Pens fan friend is blaming UPL for leaning out and getting in Malkin's way for getting hit. Seriously.

On reviewing the leadup to the end of the period, I wish it was 1995 again. I'm guessing things might have gone a little differently. Dumb is bad enough; dumb and gutless makes me not watch games for months at a time.

Don’t think there was any ill-will intent to injure, just think it was a hockey move from Malkin of trying to take the puck to the crease, that had unfortunate results.

 

[SabresFan26]

Sounds like there’s more Pens fans then Sabres fans.

 

[Ehran]

Damn, but that's a loud cheer when the Pens score.

We sure this is a home game?????

 

[SundherDome]

They have to have the most unanswered goals against them

 

[Dietpepsi]

i know he was open.. but you gotta save something

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Don't worry, The Sabres will only be 12 points out of the playoffs.

 

[SabresFan26]

Rob Ray talking about their goalie struggling to handle the puck. Rob he’s given up one goal to our goalie’s four. Just stop talking.

 

[Ralonzo]

Cozens with the opportunity to knock Ned's block off. But no, he's very polite.

Leading to Samuelsson and Clifton doing what they do, which is not defense.

 

[5 Minute Major]

i know he was open.. but you gotta save something

Exactly.

UPL is very inconsistent.

 

[Nevins]

On paper this team should be better but no. So depressing.

 

[SabresFan26]

Any chants at the arena tonight? Anyone throw their jerseys on the ice yet.

 

[OkimLom]

Rough breakdown by Buffalo PK, wish UPL would make a save there.

Oh well.

 

[SabresFan26]

Exactly.

UPL is very inconsistent.

He’s not a NHL starting goalie on a playoff team. We haven’t had good goaltending in a decade when Murray gave away Miller.

Paging @oldgoalie but blue belongs to the keep. You take the puck to the net and crank his mask off square in the middle of the paint? There better be a five guy dogpile with you at the bottom. But this has been the Sabres for a couple decades now. Bad, but gutless.

 

[toddkaz]

Why does it feel like they will win enough to get the 8th pick and again draft a lower tier player.

Stuck in purgatory

 

[OkimLom]

Why do you think they should be better on paper?

 

[NotABadPeriod]

O/U 0.5

And the over hits!

 

[Beerz]

Friggin Krebs couldn't even get that minor breakaway on net

 

[slip]

Oh boy a power play. Exciting!

 

[DapperCam]

Safe to say the penalty kill wasn’t sharp in this one.

 

[SabresFan26]

Prime Scotty Bowman wouldn’t get this team to the playoffs. Can’t even avoid an offside on a PP entry.

 

[Ehran]

Any chants at the arena tonight? Anyone throw their jerseys on the ice yet.

No, because I think a large percentage in attendance are Pens fans.

May belong to the goalie, but doesn’t mean you stay out of it. But I guess if the fans think that way, the players would have a reason why they don’t go there.

 

[Beerz]

It's actually pointless to even care about what this team does until it gets legitimate top 6 Centers.
