[Ace Rimmer]

I expect Coronato to have a good game. He has to right? Because Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

 

[Sterrge]

Any idea who is on the net tonight? Wolf of vladar?

 

[joescores]

I will be watching this one. Buffalo demolished Rangers midweek, will be a toughie.

 

[Lunatik]

Any idea who is on the net tonight? Wolf of vladar?

No one.
The game will be over before night comes.
Not that anyone is usually on the net, unless it's Nystrom doing a strip tease.

 

[Straight Fire]

What is this madness a 10 am game? I'll be missing this due to a commitment. PVRing it. Sad.

I guess @joescores and @Kahvi are going to have to carry the load today

We surprise everyone and win 5-2

Is this on Sportsnet? I went out of town for work and didn’t bring my laptop, so I can’t stream it. But my apartment I got rented for me has cable

Yes

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Yes

Yea I came inside to check. Apparently they’re subscribed to Sportsnet. I was expecting it to be blacked out because I’m in Leafs territory

 

[Kahvi]

Bad start

 

[Bounces R Way]

Vladar has really taken on the 1st shot GA tradition that Markstrom and Talbot established.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Cover the puck Dan ffs
Marty that was dumb too

Don't have the brains switched on. Seems to be a running theme in 1st periods.

 

[joescores]

Pachal will soon find himself back on the waiver wire.

Vladar been very immobile.

Crap so far.

Pospi will be riding the pine next

 

[Bounces R Way]

Huberdeau with nearly 500 NHL assists can't even complete a simple pass back to the point

Glad to see Gilbert landed somewhere. He's not good but a likeable #7.

The bar is so low with him. I’ve heard a fan say “he finds dman on the points very well.” Almost 11m bucks for that.

It’s pretty pathetic. Like if I blanked slated and didn’t know nothing about a player and their background, I’d be stunned that huby has 500 assists. Where did they come from?

 

[Kahvi]

I cant say anything positive about the first period.

 

[joescores]

Horrible effort. Liked Coronato, no one else.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Rooney knocked silly on his ass again
score a goal you mopes

 

[super6646]

Huberdeau isn’t a pp1 player

 

[joescores]

Backlund should not be on any PP, he is inept in such situations. Give me Kirkland over him everytime.

Rooney knocked silly on his ass again
score a goal you mopes

Meant to be put on waivers 2 years ago...

 

[Bounces R Way]

Kuz sweet jiminy christ you gotta get that deep
Getting pushed around by the Buffalo Sabres

 

[joescores]

f*** me, useless penalties committed by Kadri and Pospi keep continuing... this has to stop. Surely.

 

[Kahvi]

Not sure if shot clock is frozen or both teams are just bad

 

[super6646]

Jesus Christ this is painful to watch

FINALLY FFS

 

[joescores]

Beautiful Coro

Only spark!
