GDT: #02 – Sabres at Leafs – Mon Jan 21 – 7:00PM ET – TV: MSG-B – Radio: WGR-AM

You protect the goalie. Intentional, unintentional, it makes no difference. Touching the tender is grounds for pummeling. Always.

Exactly. It's incredible to me anyone thinks that was the wrong move.

 

[heartsabres*]

because players don"t like to be beat up.

I give up, I don´t think that guy knows what a punch in the face feels like.

 

[sabresfan129103]

Shots are 20-9 in favor of Toronto. Gotta start playing better.

 

[Chainshot]

I can't comprehend why other teams will shy away from running a goalie if they know the Sabres will take a penalty in response. It's like Kaleta yapping at some roid case.

There are guys who aren't going to go near a goalie if they think they're going to get to get "gamed on" by someone or everyone. It's a traffic game, dictate space by establishing what the consiquences will be.

And a guy running a Sabre goaltender as we've seen is going to result in penalties, interference faceoffs, and as the Flyers saw yesterday, lost goals. It isn't worth it.

****, if you can hit a guy in the face from behind you must have long arms

Hecht playing another sound game tonight...

 

[heartsabres*]

Miller says "fu"

 

[SackTastic]

Kessel was laughing getting up

After sitting at the bottom of a pile for 2 minutes.

You're so wrong here, I'm sorry. This isn't even worth discussing with you. Can I interest you in a match of Hello Kitty Island Adventure? It's lack of thuggery might be more your speed.

 

[joshjull]

Ennis needs to bury those chances. Good kill though, with Miller in top form.

I would argue Vanek needed to shoot in that.

then you must not like any move we made this summer because all of them were so that guys would do exactly what Kaleta did. Its going in my post game G regardless of outcome

That ~might~ have been the case in this instance if not for PK. Which is my point.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

The ref takes out a maple leaf.lol.

sigh....think bigger, like 60 minutes, flipping the guy over hmmm...forget it, never defend your goalie, your right.

 

[Chainshot]

Linesman now have more hits than most of the Sabres not named Ott or Kaleta...

 

[flyingpig]

No he won't. He'll do the same and know that his team won't be down a man because someone will run him.

I love the play by Kaleta, but don't think it will be too much of a deterrent. it is a common strategy to bump Miller to get him off his game even if it comes with an expected pounding.

 

[zenthusiast]

That's not necessarily the case. If Ott runs somebody after a clean hit it's not automatically a good thing because "toughness"

 

[JOHNBOY]

another PP, the first unit had some good puck movement before hopefully they can get a few chances here...

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

General Mcarthur takes a penalty.

 

[kirby11]

stupid interference penalty by the leafs. Let's go PP

 

[zenthusiast]

Straw man's elsewhere. Good effort.

VV Yeah, going Todd Bertuzzi is the answer here.

 

[Presten]

****, if you can hit a guy in the face from behind you must have long arms

No, but with some "luck" he might get his head slammed against the ice, I'm not sure whats worse.

 

[Fire Lindy]

Nice shot and nice save there

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Nice glove by Scrivens.

 

[zenthusiast]

I like the willingness to shoot from Cody but there are better angles

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

kessel interference was being called a penalty it wasnt a clean hit
