GDT: Sabres @ Ducks 10 PM ET - TV:MSG Radio:WGR550 - Can We Finally Quack Over .500?

[Chainshot]

Zucker has tried to sneak one over Gibsons shoulder short side three times now. Wonder if they saw something on tape.

Doesn't JJ have a goal on Gibson off the side of Gibson's head? I know he's had a few over the years.

And my heat just kicked on. FFS.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Reminds me of the old Hurricane unis. Also not a fan.

Yeah that was the first comparison that leapt to mind for me as well......Just blah.

 

[buffalowing88]

I can't imagine how Benson feels playing with these two below-replacement level talents. It's gotta be tough.

Ruff does this shit with his skilled players who he doesn't comprehend how to use. It's like watching Afinogenov play with Mair and Ellis all over again.

Feel like someone's been twiddling with the tint knob.

 

[Dubi Doo]

That period looked like two mediocre teams trying to figure out who is going to win.

 

[Sabre the Win]

It's like an invisible force preventing the Sabres from getting over .500 or maybe it's just John Gibson, Sabre killer.

 

[Fjordy]

Easily Quinns best period of the year. Let's hope he builds on it

Went to another line from Cozens

[sabremike]

If you are too young to remember what the 90's Whalers looked like it was basically like this except the Whalers at least had the CVS Line. Absolutely putrid.

 

[Chainshot]

Went to another line from Cozens

Eh, Quinn's done very little all on his own without it being Cozens' fault. It may be more that Zucker and Kulich are getting sticks on pucks and trying to cycle into net front shots - basic stuff. With Kulich using his speed to help double on guys, they seem to be winning a lot of pucks.

If they lose tonight then we can safely say that the Sabres are thinking about the record as well and are in their own heads about it.

Yeah I just think they've gotta mix things up ... the only line working right now is the Kulich line. I'd put Lafferty back on Line 4 and try Krebs up with Benson and move Cozens to wing.

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

The last few games have made it clear Tage is the only first line player on this team. Maybe Benson one day. Everyone else is forced to play up because of the lack of high end talent. Continue to see the forwards puck watching waiting for someone else to do the work so they can maybe pot home an easy goal. Other than Benson. There's a theme here...

Yup ... Zucker is good at keeping possession with small, smart plays and positioning. He's a smart hockey player and can see why his analytics have often been outstanding through his career.

On a off topic but positive note , we got our first "cold" front of the season and it's frigging awesome. Sitting on my porch and soaking it in as i watch the game .

 

[Chainshot]

Faceoffs 83%, 1 more hit, fewer giveaways... still felt like they were off most of the period.

We got into the upper 30's last night, already down to 43. The GF set the heat and it kicked on a few minutes ago.

It's been gorgeous during the day . THIS is partly why folks move down here. For our 3 months of great weather then they abandon ship by March lol.

Well, it's a fact, I don't know why, maybe it's a coincidence, but look at how Cozens plays, he stands with the puck and doesn't know what to do, everything takes a very long time, his brain doesn't work.

With the talent and skill that the Sabres have they should be destroying the Fricking Quackers

Should be but Buffalo sports are a stupid ,stupid thing to behold. I expected this . Hopefully it's not a repeat of the Habs game all over again.

 

[K8fool]

The entire team seems discombobulated.

I must be watching a different game

5 on 5 I thought we put fought and outplayed them

. ducks had us twice dead to rights during and around possession created by man advantage

Want a complaint BURY THE FOOKIN PUCK

we had at least three we were middle inside the dots


best play which should give use all hope Quinn w a gorgeous move and instinctively powered toward the net should be tied AT LEAST but .Its 1 zero Anaheim


Thompson
out will be a blessing if +Quinn can bury at least one of the many chances he's going to will himself a d cozens not feeling it is going find away to set someone up


Dahlin or Byram get pissed and take over :

Without Thompson the forward lineup is a below average.

Yeah, the other 9 months of dodging hurricanes, blood sucking insects, things with venom or thorns, and enough heat to rent it to Satan.

I was like, Quakers? And then the late coffee kicked in and I noticed the "c".
