Levi never saw the shot.....

 

[Ehran]

I can't listen to this announcing crew. They're horrible.

 

[Chainshot]

Nice goal by Casey.

 

[old kummelweck]

Joker with the screen.

 

[tsujimoto74]

I don’t think officiating is in the tank or they’d call the goal back.

I think suggesting NHL officiating is biased for certain teams is giving them too much credit. They’re just not great at their jobs.

Hradek just finished early.

 

[oldgoalie]

Fantastic shot by the kid.

 

[joshjull]

Tuch with the drive by.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

That's most of the league TBH.

Yeah, but rare round these parts

Sabres with an open ice style of play while NJ closes on their check immediately and wins the 1 on 1 close in battles.

Jersey clogs the front of the net in their own zone eliminating open lanes or looks to their net. Buff's team D is way more reactive and slower. Surprising. I expected more from Ruff in this part of the game. NJ has much more time and space to work with.

Sabres PP was under constant pressure from the NJ PK and couldn't find the open man. NJ's PP moved the puck with much more authority and precision.

I agree. But I think we need to give Ruff a chance. Expecting him to fix these deeply rooted issues in one shortened training camp is unrealistic (as much as I wanted it to happen). Especially when there was no meaningful change to the top 6 outside of 1 subtraction.

I feel like Keefe has a better base to start off from than Ruff. The devils have more veteran players and they’re coming from a coach/system (Ruff) with structure. Keefe isn’t starting from basically scratch in that regard, like Ruff in Buffalo.

Not only is Ruff trying to break the bad habits of the players, he also still has 2/3rds of Granato’s same coaching staff he’s trying to get to deliver this new message and break those bad habits too. I don’t think Adams did him any favors not allowing him to bring in any assistants.

 

[BFLO]

Lol @ Tuch on the PK just doing a harmless drive by through the shooters lane to the net.

 

[5 Minute Major]

I do not like Byram.

 

[Mattilaus]

Joki made himself as slim as possible. Just enough to block Levi's view but not the shot.

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Solid adjustment and save by Levi.

 

[Ralonzo]

I can't listen to this announcing crew. They're horrible.

They got really excited for that goal. Like Diddy Party excited.

 

[joshjull]

Tuch is making me irrationally angry

 

[MOGlLNY]

Get Henri on the PP to screen the other goalie instead

 

[SabresFan26]

Joki made himself as slim as possible. Just enough to block the Levi's view but not the shot.

Soft player

 

[Beerz]

Can't wait for the 7×7 contract for Alex Tuch because he wants to be here

 

[oldgoalie]

They got really excited for that goal. Like Diddy Party excited.

Such hard ons for the Devils. They suck.

 

[BFLO]

Even Rayzor called out Tuch for the drive by

 

[Chainshot]

Tuch is making me irrationally angry

Almost like he's already a Canuck.

Sure....... But I wasn't trying to shit all over Ruff...... This was just my reaction to my 1st look at the team in a new season.

 

[Havok89]

Soft call, Quinn can’t stay on his feet

 

[tsujimoto74]

Could use a good PP here
