GDT: Stars at Sabres, 7 PM ET, October 22, 2024

[Sabre the Win]

Thank god Tuch is not Cozens there

 

[NotABadPeriod]

and unclench

Still 10 seconds left. If any team can find a way to screw this up...

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Heiskanen is really good, but that was a bonehead play. We'll take it!

 

[Cirris]

and unclench

make sure you're on the toilet when you do, or shit happens.

 

[Fearnot]

I wonder how Dahlin but this time and especially Power can be so nonchalant near the own net. Power is very overrated.

Nobody overrates Power or even talks about him outside of this board

JFC, they have 5 guys out there. It looked like 6 on 3 for the last 5 minutes. They're all collapsing down low putting no pressure on the puck carrier.

 

[Panthaz89]

The Stars never stood a chance....everybody was expecting a Sabres win obviously

 

[Sabre the Win]

Play like that and they have a chance at playoffs. Not like the last 5 mins.

 

[Zman5778]

.......if we still had Reimer.....I'd be hugely advocating to send Levi down to Rochester, as it sure seems like UPL has said "My crease".

 

[Mike McDermott]

To be fair, last year we probably don't get the 3rd "insurance" goal and even if we did, we probably give 1 shortly after and then 2 with the goalie pulled and lose in OT. So as frustrating as the 2 late goals are, I'll take this outcome.

One game? No. I do not forget the 6 goal against game.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Detroit up next on Saturday. Annihilate those asshats please.

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

That game went from a calm affair, to a whole lot of fun, to no fun at all real quick. I'm just glad they won. They owe 6k about 18 dinners.

Ambushed by expectations.

I agree. Baby steps. They had a lead. The built on it while under pressure. They faced adversity when they lost it. They over came and won. I am choosing to believe that this was a character building game.

He's not worth the salary until he learns how to lock his man. I've seen this too many times from him. Below average defensive awareness imo.

 

[Zman5778]

One game? No. I do not forget the 6 goal against game.

But apparently you have forgotten the 35 save performance against the Blackhawks.

UPL has had two good-to-excellent games in a row.

And frankly, he's been at minimum "good" in 3 of his last 4.

Realllllly strange timing for this flex given that this might have been his best game as a Sabre.

 

[slip]

Sabres over .500 on North American soil.

 

[5 Minute Major]

With 5 minutes left I was hoping for a shutout.

With 2 minutes left I was hoping to hang on for a win and not expecting to.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Play like that and they have a chance at playoffs. Not like the last 5 mins.

they played like that at the end of game for how many years now ?

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Dallas is a very strong team. Beating them at home with their 1G is no mean feat.

 

[Svedu]

Realllllly strange timing for this flex given that this might have been his best game as a Sabre.

No, there is always room for becoming better. Especially for a young D. And I think this is a weakness of his. He needs to work on that and help his goalies if Sabres is serious on becoming a contender in the future.

 

[Panthaz89]

Never really expected McLeod to be so effective on offense.

 

[5 Minute Major]

But apparently you have forgotten the 35 save performance against the Blackhawks.

UPL has had two good-to-excellent games in a row.

And frankly, he's been at minimum "good" in 3 of his last 4.

And Levi has been good in 2 of his 3.
