GDT: Sabres @ Chicago 8 PM ET TV:MSG Radio:WGR550 - It Has To Get Better

[Sabreality]

UPL calmly looks the shot right into his glove.

I get to contrast that with Georgiev's flounder every single game......

Lookin like the comfortable UPL of 2nd half last year finally.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Good job UPL

 

[Fearnot]

OP didnt play the man or the puck until it was too late. Hanging out with Sammy too much

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Never said this before........

Not a bad period of Sabres hockey.....

 

[Ace]

Great period by UPL.

Dylan Cozens needs to get the f*** off the PP, the second line, the lineup…I’ll take anything

 

[Panthaz89]

It's really amazing that the PP looks like they are the ones shorthanded again. Literally give up a point blank chance on the goalie right at the start.

 

[joshjull]

So what is the NHL record for failed PP attempts to start a season

No idea

But watching this PP make makes me think we need ……..

Justice for Matt Ellis!!!!

A question for Appert

A question for Appert

Not just Appert. Could also ask that of Wilford.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Marty's analysis of the play of the Sabre fwds in the offensive zone.... playing deep below the goal line is one of the direct influences of Ruff's coaching.

That wasn't happening under Granato or the other doinks that have been behind the Sabre's bench of late.

 

[VaporTrail]

What's the odds on Chicago to win the game, or to win the game by 1.5 ? That might be a good bet.

 

[Fearnot]

I liked the quick passes on Beck's zone entry. Waiter more of this please.

Their D zone has lotsa holes and not a ton of push, Sabres "should" score some more.

 

[Ace]

Samuelsson chooses to try and keep a puck in from behind the line and doesn’t come close…allowing an easy 2 on 1 the other way. Lucky they got a weak shot off.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

6k is playing his ass off . Great save there.

 

[JLewyB]

Dahlin playing weak af

 

[Sabreality]

Dahlin playing weak af

He really needs to get back on the right side and go rover-mode, he's too conservative playig with (backing up) Joki and it takes him off the gas imo, over thinking. (or he's really nursing something)

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Damnit. 1 goal game.

 

[JLewyB]

Want UPL to get that one

Dammit. We have a power play.

 

[Mattilaus]

Would be a great time to break the streak and get the 2 goal lead back.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

I'd like to see them do something crazy on the PP. Like, just put out the 3rd or 4th line, no "unit". See if playing "normally" works better.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Got to have that one UPL.....

I'm guessing he took his eyes off the shooter to take a peak at the Hawk in the center lane at just the wrong time.

And it burned him. No other reason that one shouldn't be an easy save.

 

[Sabreality]

You can do it!

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Let's go PP ... don't give up a shortie at least

 

[Fearnot]

0 for 50 PP watch

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Cozens on PP ... yay!
