GDT: BUF @ OTT 7pm

[Chainshot]

4-0...the toughest lead in hockey.

At least the toughest lead for Buffalo.

 

[Zman5778]

Wait.

That was CLIFTON with the shorty break?

Ottawa -- just give up tonight. You don't got it.

 

[tsujimoto74]

That was a pretty good effort for a defenseman like Cliffy

 

[jc17]

At least the toughest lead for Buffalo.

Dan said a 4-0 lead is always fun and Rayzor hit him with "well not always "

 

[SundherDome]

That was a late whistle on that Gilbert penalty

 

[Dahlicious]

Watching Ottawa really is like looking in a mirror.

 

[SundherDome]

Good to hear the boo birds for the other team

 

[Zman5778]

That Ottawa PP might be worse than anything we've done all year. Wow.

 

[Cirris]

Good to hear the boo birds for the other team

They'd be louder if the game was in Buffalo.

 

[toddkaz]

Best 2 periods of hockey for the year.

Played solid defensively, only a few gaffes put very good effort.

 

[Cirris]

I'm sure the marketing guy who suggested "Retro road white jerseys at home night" has already been relieved of his duties and escorted out of the building.

 

[Intermission]

If it's not broke, don't worry about it.

Dunleavy said it’s retro night on Thursdays in Ottawa.

Thanks! I thought those Sens sweaters looked familiar. Hardly noticed that they are "retro".

With a little pre-notice, the Sabres should have packed their Goathead 3rds. Sens put Emery in net. Ha ha.

Now, that would be RETRO!!

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Sabres have gotten away with a lot tonight per pham

I don't think we've been particularly GOOD tonight. But holy cow we've been better than Ottawa, who look to be sleepwalking through this.

 

[BFLO]

Yeah, those advanced stats are certainly not meeting the eye test tonight. Ottawa has been AWFUL in their own zone. Like, our level bad. Yeah, Ottawa has gotten a few shots on UPL......but he's only made 1 or 2 real tough saves.

4-0 might flatter us some, but the eye test says we should be winning.

variance in goaltending is the bane of existence for advanced stats.

The advanced stats say we’ve created essentially no offense outside of the 3 shots we scored on. Those 3 shots are worth about 85% of the xGF we’ve created so far, the 4th goal being a lucky bounce off a skate isn’t worth much xGF.

That matches the eye test up to that point in the game.

Ryan McLead with his first 3 pts night of his career tonight.

It would be quite the sight for them to put Emery in net (RIP).

I don't think those are retro jerseys. Just "white at home."

 

[BFLO]

Wake up guys. The 3rd period already started.

At least UPL was awake

 

[rams]

Luukkonen bailing them out.

Dude

WHat's the point of calling it retro night if they don't wear retro sweaters?

Not that I care. The ones tonight look 90's early 00's to me.

 

[dang111]

No replay of the penalty?

 

[Chainshot]

O

Anyone here ever get to see Staios (Otw now) get to play when he was a Jr in the Falls btw ? Good memories when you could cross the bridges by telling them your nationality.

Saw him when I had seasons in NF. He was on a similar tier with someone like Jay McKee at the junior level. I always thought he could’ve been a better player as a pro.
