GDT: Game #49 - Sabres @ The Powerhouse - 6PM - MSG

[Avery16]

Is Strome capable of disrupting a play cleanly, or only with obvious and blatant penalties

 

[bl02]

Lafreniere having fun. Most creativity I’ve seen from him this year. Fun to watch

Ironically I thought Miller had strung together a bunch of really good games prior to this one.

To be honest, him even still playing in the NHL this late into the season is just gravy to me at this point.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

I don't think it's early at all.

Jones looked like a better player before they got here.

He doesn't cough up the puck. Miller constantly coughs it up.

Jones always seems to make the right decision with the puck. Miller, not so much.

The only edge Miller has is size, which is pretty unimportant.

This is just crazy overly simplistic. Miller has had his ups and downs (including really high highs and some low lows) but he's a young top4 NHL defenseman right now. seen him blow up so many plays with his freakish athletic abilities like clozing crazy gaps with his skating and bullying guys off the puck with his strength, the skill is real. all in all, he's been a pretty steady and reliable top4D for this team among the peaks and valleys.

Jones is a few periods deep playing sheltered minutes in his career right now. He's made some nice plays with the puck dancing on his skates and carryring it into the zone.

but again it's just a weird comparison and statement given where they're both at.

... whaaaat?! Is this real? I had to go back and see what the og statement was.

You're comparing 2 games of Jones vs Miller's 48 with his assignments and all.

KAM is untouchable to me.

I'm also comparing how they looked to me before the NHL in the little bit I saw them

I was more worried about him than Kakko, but never really worried about either one.

I feel like Laf is pulling a Stamkos. Slow start, adjustments to make, but strong finish.

Laf is putting on a clinic. Or, as the French-Canadians say, a Clinique.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Miller has been absolutely atrocious.A game off might do him some good

Probably but they have nobody else to play. Bitetto is atrocious.

Once we get rid of David Melrose, perennial 50 goal scorer ?

 

[ThirdEye]

Miller looking like he slammed a case of Miller prior to the game

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Buch too soft and obvious

 

[chosen]

Well Miller is 21. Skjeis problem is that he stagnated.

No disputing Miller can improve, but right now, woof.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Millers biggest issue rn is not having Trouba

 

[CommaSynapse]

Anyone else lose their feed on MSG GO?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Buch is a good player but I feel like he never makes that play.

 

[zukeisgone]

If I’m Buffalo I go full blown Torts..at least they’ll play hockey

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Buch is a good player but I feel like he never makes that play.

He’s had a good game tonight but is still killing plays left and right.

If you read the article in The Athletic, you might have a different opinion about Jones's skating and his overall game.

I read The Athletic too, but watching is more important.

You must have me mistaken with someone else because I like Jones and have watched quite a bit of him. I’m just defending Miller not criticizing Jones

 

[duhmetreE]

Howden has been so much better at wing

Only one of them makes lots of bad plays. I realize he can improve.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

The touch is pucked - Sam

 

[Machinehead]

Buchnevich is convinced he didn't do anything lol

 

[EdJovanovski]

That wasn’t our stick

 

[ThirdEye]

Buch is a good player but I feel like he never makes that play.

He's at his best when he doesn't have too much time to think about what play to make

 

[Cmox]

Oof no more penalties. Sad Buch
