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

[TheStorm]

Line gets the majority of the d-zone starts and yet is being productive in terms of shot share. He's a big reason for that - the transition skating skills - and then both Zucker and Greenway have meshed nicely.

That's a really good sign then. Greenway has been another bright spot as well.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

That's a really good sign then. Greenway has been another bright spot as well.

He has been one of Adams best moves. I can't say enough good things about him. I liked him with Minny but he has been stellar for us.

 

[Chainshot]

Mccloud well worth the savoie cost.

Savoie is a point per game thus far for Bakersfield. He'll get there and then it'll be interesting to see how this shakes out. But at the moment, Buffalo needed what McLeod brings (and Edmonton needed to not have him on their cap), so both teams got what they wanted.

 

[Chainshot]

So unlike the Chicago game where the Hawks scored 2 and Buffalo none while I was watching, it's the reverse thus far here. Tuned in and they immediately put in two.

Cozens actually looks good, just can’t score. Quinn just looks like he stinks

Maybe Rasmus can punch Cozens in the face next.

Quinn appears to be in need of a full MMA beatdown.

 

[Cirris]

He's been good this game though.

i don't know about earlier in the game. i missed the first half of the game. I know he's skating well and forechecking. But he's still hand grenades with the puck on the few shifts I've seen.

 

[toddkaz]

We need Cozens and Quinn to show up and we might have a team

 

[BFLO]

NST and Moneypuck essentially have us tied with Dallas in xGF% through 2 periods.

UPL having a strong game.

 

[CowbellConray]

Mcleod has been a VERY good signing this year. Takes important draws, very strong defensively, top PKer, points in 5 straight, GOALS in 4 straight, and that third line hummmmms all game.

Very very impressed so far

 

[5 Minute Major]

Mostly invisible outside of when he’s scored. But he’s been scoring much more than expected so far. Doubtful he keeps this pace up, but he’s been a rare bright spot for this team.

Mostly invisible outside of scoring goals? I mean….he is everywhere every time he is on the ice.

Imagine if he scored on some breakaways early on this season.

The guy and that line are playing their nuts off.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

I can’t believe they have wifi on planes now…in economy for no extra charge! First time watching a game in the sky.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

When Aube-Kubel is back, I'm not opposed to simply swapping him with Quinn. No, he's not a 2nd liner, but the other three lines are looking good, and putting a total shit-disturber on that line might just be what the doctor ordered.

UPL having a strong game.

Speaking of McLeod, how are his moneypuck stats? I assume this scoring rate is well above expected…

 

[sabres4ever]

Every team playing tonight. Rarity. We're winning too!

Not the craziest idea. Or give Krebs or greenway or McLeod a promotion

It's more economical to have people supply their own entertainment than put screens in the seats anymore. Cost is relatively cheap and "we have wifi!" is a good marketing tool.

Nice, usually I get blocked because of unknown geolocation when I'm in the air

Quinn having an intervention from the team -

I think Cozens has been decent this season. The criticisms of his game have been over the top.

Safe travels!

I’m going the pirate route

Gotta be Spirit. They just implemented free WiFi.

I think his moneypuck numbers back this up last time I checked

 

[Chainshot]

Reminiscent of old Reinhart pummeling. If the guy wasn't getting chances, worry. He's getting looks, getting shots. He can clean up his defensive game sure but it's not like Quinn who is somewhere AWOL thus far, not getting chances or shots or... anything.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Who is this Sabres team and why do they have some semblance of an NHL team?
