GDT: Expansion Brothers Afternoon Tilt: Vancouver Canucks at Buffalo Sabres, 3:00 EST; MSG, Sportsnet

[Willgamesh]

My eternal warning to the “trade Power” people. He is one of the best at doing it. Everyone else is awful.

Anybody demanding a trade after KA has shown what he trades top talent for should never post again.

 

[Chainshot]

Not a good period but came out on top

And this is the third Vancouver game in less than 4 days so if anyone has leg issues late, it could be them. Could. I say. Could.

In other news, I’ll be dropping the first song for the HFSabres 2024 Christmas music playlist tomorrow. This way all 25 songs will be posted by Christmas Eve day.

the “trade Power” people.

are they an actual thing ????

 

[Dubi Doo]

Happy to be up one, but the amount of tunrovers is glaring. UPL will have to stand on his head if this continues. Geez. Ugly. Ugly. Ugly.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

I thought Buffalo controlled play overall but was badly bitten by defensive zone giveaways and 3 (?) beaten icings. Outside of those fumbles Vancouver generated almost nothing.

 

[Chainshot]

Watching the giveaway stats change in real time on NHL.com right now... even though it's intermission.

 

[MagnumForce2]

We have to cleanup our defensive end and passing. The goals will come offensively.

 

[Zman5778]

are they an actual thing ????

Yep.

 

[Chainshot]

Did Duff just poke fun at PHam's Twitter blocks?

 

[Zman5778]

Hamilton taking strays during intermission. Hate to see it.....

 

[Zman5778]

Did Duff just poke fun at PHam's Twitter blocks?

He and Marty both did so

 

[Fjordy]

I definitely like this Jack Quinn.

 

[Chainshot]

I suppose if there are going to be 2 forwards to get shots on goal in a period, 75% of them coming off Thompson's stick is probably workable.

 

[Ace]

A lot of sloppy choppy hockey in the first period. Goal came from two guys playing smart. Benson is a hockey genius and Byram understands when to rush the net. And that was about the only good play aside from some decent Joker shots from the point and Quinn giving a high effort

That's ... an ugly stat. (Not the Thompson part, the "only 2 forwards got shots" part).

Interesting Duff and Marty's take on Bryson having a good period. Thought he got into trouble a few times in the D zone and the play breaking up the 2 on 1 was a lone highlight.

Overall, the sabres turned the puck over way too much.

 

[Abraham de Lacy]

are they an actual thing ????

Nope

 

[MagnumForce2]

I definitely like this Jack Quinn.

I think he is comfortable with Kulich as his center. The chemistry will grow the more they play together

Someone asked why McLeod is stuck with Beck and Lafferty. It’s because Quinn looks like ten times the player with Kulich.

Of course, I’d move Cozens to wing and move McLeod up. Putting Krebs back where he belongs on line 4. But that’s none of my business.

 

[Zman5778]

Is Duffer high today? Initiating some PHam smack talk now talking about Marty using emojis on the telestrator??

Might be praising him because of that sliding stop. If a defenseman is off his feet, it's desperation time. But it was how they fumbled their way to that is worth pointing out and that was both him and Cliffy struggling.

 

[Herman Hessian]

Nope

That assertion has restored my faith in humanity somewhat….

You’re only ever going to get surface level analysis on tv. They allowed zero goals so they’re not going to go looking for all the mistakes. We had that shutout last week and Joker was so bad that game…and they wouldn’t say a peep.

You nailed it.. my thoughts exactly
