Not a pretty game but another W

 

[Master P]

We survived two periods of prevent defense. We have a super D.

It was the sabres though. After we got those two goals the team just went on auto pilot.

Saving energy for tomorrow. Should be a big game.

 

[Felonious Python]

This is objectively one of the games of this season.

 

[The Gongshow]

5? In a row?! Wtf is this? 5?

🖐 you're kidding?

 

[Tampa22]

The nap doesn't won the battle! One of the most boring games of the season but the points inside the pocket, let's see what happens tomorrow with back to back games.
Crazy to see this win streak with 2 top 4 dman out by injury and I'm starting to wonder if is good to see them back.

 

[Master P]

This is objectively one of the games of this season.

12:30 away game on a Saturday

Got the two points

Nobody got hurt.

I see this as a great day.

 

[Todd1a]

See we don’t need cernak, serg and jeannot that saves us 16.4 million in cap space to trade them all for draft picks !

 

[StammerHammer]

3rd place in the Atlantic.

 

[FinnLightning26]

I was just waiting for Buffalo to score the whole third period but fortunately it didn't come.

Johansson was very solid in this game. Not easy to go two to three weeks between games but he got the job done.

I agree. its proven that this squad can win the Buffalo cup.

 

[FinnLightning26]

You don't even really notice that Jeannot is not in the lineup.

What a horrible f***ing trade.

 

[Master P]

5 game win streak!

These boards have been relatively quite during that time frame.

Can't imagine why.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

I mean; I notice jeannot not playing. But I also don’t necessarily think it was a good trade. Almost like; people can have different perspectives.

Respek

I thought JJ played great! Crozier played well even though him and Lilleberg were out there for the goal against. One of those games for the PP and Kucherov where nothing really clicked. MacK has taken the lead at the moment.

Hopefully we show up tomorrow with a better showing offensively against Detroit.

I mean Kuch could finish with 140pts and mack with 120 and they would still give the Hart to mackinnon.

I've seen more hockey analysts mentioning Mack and Matthews (lol) in the heart race then I have Kuch.

 

[These Are The Days]

I didn't see the game. Let me guess. We sat on that lead for 53 minutes and f***ed around didn't we? And Buffalo just happened to be so bad it worked for us didn't it?

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Lille had a bad game; he went for the big hit and it cost us a goal. That’s just going to be experience for the young guy. I like him.

True, but you can't fudge the numbers on the Art Ross and I know Kuchie Koo wants that.

Not quite 53 minutes but more like half the game. We still had our chances but we looked like we were content and confident playing at 50% while Buffalo gave it their all. So, sort of.

As long as the team can make the playoffs I'll be happy.

Oh God. *gag* "Don't take chances, you might be scored on" buncha nerds I swear

I saw 86 skating towards Cozens as he shot. Cozens could have been Kuch's man? I dunno if he had that down low responsibility or not..

 

[Lightning1995]

For the only the second time this year I tuned in and the Bolts didn’t crap the bed. 5 in a row baby, keep it rolling.

 

[Rschmitz]

Just in case anyone was wondering about how the Dmen did

Some interesting decisions when Sergachev and Cernak get back, I'd like to hope that we keep Lilleberg up, scratch De Haan, and that Raddysh continues to play with Hedman.

The real question is who gets to babysit Sergachev. Perbix or Cernak?

Could also see Perbix back with Hedman, not a fan of that but we'll see.

Point moved down low with Crozier and it gave the space needed for the shooter. The attempted hit by Lilleberg was earlier in the sequence so kind of weird to blame him for that play. I'd look at Crozier and Point before him.
