GDT: BUF @ TBL 7pm TV:MSG Radio:WGR - Back to the beach

Cozens caught an elbow to the face from cernak a few shifts ago. f*** tampa

It would be great if one day, they could have their Godfather baptism scene on this Tampa team. Ciernak. Kucherov. Stamkos. They need a Clemenza though.

 

[tsujimoto74]

I'm still impressed with how they could score without taking another shot on goal. I love the Florida scoring tables - between Amalie's dubious shot counts and the Sunrise folks overcounting hits, it's always interesting.

Life, uh, finds a way I guess

Leave the gun, take the cannoli.

 

[Chainshot]

Power gets hit and then takes a leisure skate back to the front of his own net. Kid, get your head into the game and ramp up your intensity.

 

[Mattilaus]

Unironically, pretty good away period by the Sabres against a very good team. Need to build on it

 

[Fezzy126]

Good period, now we just need two more of those

 

[Gabrielor]

Good 1st period. Weather an early press, and started skating on them.

 

[Panthaz89]

At least we didn't give up too many chances but we hardly had much.

 

[GrierIsGod123]

3 shots ... not good enough. They got better at the 10 minute mark, but they're just not good enough against good teams. It's very concerning.

I’ve seen this picture before. Will TB come out in the second period remembering who they are and who they’re playing?

 

[tsujimoto74]

Not a bad period by the Buffalo Sabres

 

[DapperCam]

Tampa is just coasting out there. Need to take advantage before they snap out of it.

Gotta be many more shot attempts. We were in the zone more than 3 shots.

 

[kirby11]

They definitely had, like, at least 6 shots on goal…weird that everyone is taking the count of 3 as gospel

No it's not. We're a young team. We're barely a playoff team. Games like what we've seen against actual good teams (Carolina, Toronto, etc) are what you see when a young team is learning.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Corsi and High Danger Chances are essentially even. If only they could actually get those shots on net...

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

Took 10 min to get warmed up. Luckily the hole was only a goal deep.

for some reason the Mitts/Power shot that went off Vasi's facemask didn't count.

 

[Chainshot]

I was thinking of the shotgun in the flower box.

It did. And then they took it away. This isn't the first time the shot count in Tampa has been creative in the home team's favor.

 

[Zman5778]

Shot counter must have thought it was going high. Meh. Shot count doesn't accurately reflect what actually happened in the period.

 

[Abraham de Lacy]

I was thinking of the shotgun in the flower box.

Which James Cameron "stole" and reused in Terminator 2

 

[MOGlLNY]

Capitals punting?

 

[Chainshot]

Capitals punting?

Looks that way. They have one defenseman under contract for next season. I would expect them to shuffle some other parts since they have Cup experienced guys in positions teams love - D like Jensen, C like Ellers.

 

[Panthaz89]

Are they just taking away our shots on goal for fun?
