Cams a killer. now 4 & 4 in his last 5 v BUF

Cam's a mess?

Is Hutton aware that he is allowed to bail the team out from time to time?

If he comes charging out to the top of the crease in line with the puck to cut down the angle, he runs the risk of having an all alone Atkinson deke him. So he tries to take away the bottom of the net while pretty much in place and gets beat using the 1/2 butterfly.

Translation: Hutton is NOT Dominick Hasek.....

Need to come out desperate. This is the most important third period of the season right here.

On a completely broken play because McCabe got outworked by Panarin. Let's not act like the puck landed on Sam's stick perfectly and he had all the time in the world and made a bad pass. You'd think it was an egregious play where Sam was making direct eye contact with Atkinson and passed him the puck and not the completely broken play with the way you're talking.

Sam disrupted the puck, and stayed on his man. Really no blame to him from me.

Someone tell me what scandella is doing here

Need to come out stroking....I feel like we are pissed so hopefully no stupid penalties and we should win this.

Come out...stroking?

He needs to do way better there. Get a touch on it and send the puck literally anywhere else.

Phil sucks as bad as Pierre McGuire and I never thought I would live to see a coach who sucked as hard as him. Not even Dead Weight sucked as bad as Pierre.

"disrupted the puck" .... nice way to put it.

He's telling someone to take the guy out wide so he can take the guy streaking up the middle I think

 

[OkimLom]

Because he hit the puck the wrong way

Do you mean the defenseman that hit the puck off his stick when he got to it?

 

[CrazyPsycho]

I mean he has to see that nobody will catch him right?

Teaching Pilut

Off to watch some regular TV. My blood pressure can’t take this crap.
I’ll read about the loss tomorrow.

But, this board needs your playing experience insights........ We are NOT worthy substitutes or replacements!

Hey typing is a fast game, gotta think on the fly. lol

Sure, he didn't make the best out of a hard play but McCabe f***ed up a play any NHL defensemen should make in their sleep. He's looked like Okposo processing the play the entire night and it came back to bite the Sabres.

Someone’s mind is in the gutter

This is straight out of the Tre White academy of hockey analysis.

Everyone worked their ass off that shift and when the opportunity to exit the zone came up Sam was too soft on his stick, it's ok to say a player you like made a mistake, it happens... The limits that some of you go to blame a player you don't like or absolve a player you do like is reaching meteoric proportions.

I like Tage, I think he's gonna be good, I usually stick up for him. But if he buries a chance into a wide open net this game is likely over.

wonder if he meant what happened in the 2nd

 

[kirby11]

Risto and McCabe seem to bring the worst out of each other.

If only we had a d-man who showed he could work well with risto...

 

[dortt]

Someone tell me what scandella is doing here

according to Housley, he's playing far better than Pilut there

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Someone tell me what scandella is doing here

My take at this is :

Attempting to intercept the pass....... i.e.;. playing the situation like it's a 2 on 1 instead of a 2 on 2.

Its called brain freeze....... OR incompetence.

There's plenty of blame to go around but Sam needed to be way harder on the puck and establish body positioning.

He was first to the puck, he just needed to protect the puck better in his own slot area.

That's crazy talk. Swedish crazy talk.
