GDT: Morning with the Sabres vs Devils in Prague, CZE 10 AM ET - TV: MSG, NHL Network - Radio: WGR550 - Game # 2

[Doug Prishpreed]

Don't disagree at all. But that PP went south right from the Offensive Zone face off which they lost and weren't quick enough to forecheck off of.

I truly believe this team lacks quickness. And that's a killer.

Whenever they try to play quick they can’t complete a pass. It’s like their brains don’t work quickly enough to handle a fast paced game

 

[WeDislikeEich]

I feel like there’s been a lot of “almost” good plays today. They get an odd man rush and “almost” get a good scoring chance. Or “almost” make a nice pass. But always end up bobbling it or missing the pass or whatever.

 

[Beerz]

How has nobody buried Dillon yet? What are we even doing here?

Tuch addressed it... it's cool

 

[Vito_81]

I dont think I saw Quinn on the ice since the brutal PP turnover. Could it be…

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

I didn't even know Dahlin was playing today

Power looks better.....

 

[Ace]

I don’t think UPL was bad yesterday…I only put one goal on him which is a quality start in my book. But he did not look comfortable or settled at all. Flying around and scrambling to get back which is the bad UPL.

Levi looks in full control of his positioning and movement. If UPL doesn’t settle it quick Levi has to worry about Rochester less than UPL has to worry about Levi. Especially if the team can’t score. Lindy has seen the goalie game cost him jobs. He won’t hesitate if Levi is who we think Levi can be

Levi making a statement so far in this game. I counted two rebounds where he could have been cleaner. No chance on the snipe for the NJ goal. Cool as the backside of the pillow on his puck play and positioning.

 

[sabremike]

I can’t believe youre still blaming Granato. Adams built a shit team and this is the third year of you pointing the finger at everyone but him.

Who were the two coaches who proceeded him?

And imagine the idea that I (the guy who coined the term Kevyn From Accounting) haven't given him plenty of shit.

 

[BFLO]

How has nobody buried Dillon yet? What are we even doing here?

Dillion was a D-men I wanted us to acquire this past off season...

 

[SundherDome]

They are still mentally fragile, it's gunna take awhile to break that. As soon as NJ scored they went into this weird sulk where it is like "well we at least tried"

 

[Beerz]

Power looks better.....

Dahlin is just playing passively.. almost like he has to babysit Joker

 

[MOGlLNY]

I dont think I saw Quinn on the ice since the brutal PP turnover. Could it be…

Quinn has been BRUTAL in both games

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

While I'm not sold on appert, whether its him or ruff its unrealistic to expect new habits in 3 weeks of coaching

I don’t think 3 months of coaching would fix a roster as critically flawed as this one.

 

[Dingo44]

Hradek. Call. The. Game.

So glad I'm missing it. Not that Dunleavey is that much better but compared to Hradek he's Gary Thorne.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Whenever they try to play quick they can’t complete a pass. It’s like their brains don’t work quickly enough to handle a fast paced game

They lack it both physically and mentally.

 

[HOOats]

Got to watch my first ten minutes of the season just now.

Not sure I want Dahlin "leading by example" if this is how he's going to play.

 

[joshjull]

Watching this again. Wtf is Tuch doing? Go at the shooter. He could have easily negated that shot.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

What Jokiharju did just there was more of a trip than the one on Lafferty.

They’d been going at it so I think they were #lettingthemplay

 

[slip]

Honestly I’ve been watching since a little before Lafferty’s trip and my only take away is NHL referees still suck. I no longer know what a penalty is anymore.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

The ice looks pretty rough to me. Both teams have been awful at short passes against the boards.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Tuch really is struggling or in how own head. Great kill by Cozens.

Yeah I don’t get all the flak Cozens is taking. He had like 7 shots yesterday and has probably been our best PKer today. Is every play perfect? No, but there are other players who have been much bigger problems through the first 1.67 games (and Tuch is certainly one of them).

 

[Chainshot]

Unsung hero of the "been ass" group is Jack "Don't call me Larry yet" Quinn.

 

[Beerz]

Watching this again. Wtf is Tuch doing? Go at the shooter. He could have easily negated that shot.

Not looking to take a shot for Peterka or Levi by the looks of it.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Can they even do that without a challenge? If they call good goal are they allowed to go back and check for interference if no challenge?

They gave Dillon 2 minutes for a hit Rome was suspended in the finals. They do what they want.
