GDT: Gm#26 9-Dec-22 PIT @ BUF 7pm MSG-B, WGR55, ESPN8 "The Ocho"

[Ralonzo]

Joki, why are you blindly throwing the puck up the boards when you have TIME.

That just erased every good thing he did. No pressure, and support RIGHT THERE. It wasnt that it wasn't the best possible play, or even the worst possible play, but it was literally the ONLY place he could have put it to turn it over in the zone, the rest of the Pens were on a change.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

Whoa. A power play.

 

[gallagt01]

Mike Sullivan is the worst.

 

[Chainshot]

My mistake, it was Joker with the puck play. Power's mistake was how he closed softly on Crosby.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Stop the blind back passes

 

[Chainshot]

I would dearly love someone to tune the f*** out of Archibald's face.

 

[The Blunder Years]

We need Okposo to get on the TB12 diet

 

[toddkaz]

Looked like a diving shot to the head.

 

[Intermission]

"Sacrifice...the ice and give up a goal by THE SKINNER!"

Curse and damn you all you'll fall by the hand of the Skinner!

Thirty years now skating - so sound - sound - sound ..

God of the Sabres - God of the Sabres -

Pens look like they did a great job scouting our tendancies on the PP

 

[Dingo44]

They are definitely working to take away the Thompson one timer.

As they should

 

[DapperCam]

Pens just check Krebs trying to chase a chipped in puck. No call

 

[Panthaz89]

Skinner should have just taken it to the center if the D-man wants to sit against the boards....

Wonder if there's any sense in throwing VO on the opposite side to stretch them out

 

[Ralonzo]

In that case, and this sounds radical but swap Skinner/Cozens and VO for the next (ha! ha!) PP. Pick the one timer you want to stop.

 

[BG82]

Okposo is sooo slow

Not for nothing, but the Pens PK has been outstanding against everyone.

I think they should tell Cozens to just take the shot if they are going to give him that much room.

 

[sabres4ever]

They have someone glued to Tage the entire PP

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Okposo is sooo slow

Yeah he's basically shot at this point ... I'm not a proponent of a re-sign anymore. Sadly he should hang them up.

29 kills in last 31 attempts

Definitely lost his burst

 

[TheMistyStranger]

This game is making me nervous. Those posts feel haunting.

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Definitely lost his burst

I think last year was his last gasp in terms of skating ... need a speedy 4th line that can pressure teams a bit better
