GDT: #19 – Sabres at Blues – Thu Nov 19, 8:00PM ET – MSG-B, Bell TV

[Man of Principles]

I'm not a ref but that looked like a double tap to me. And I'll add that Ennis has consistently pissed me off on a game to game basis this year. That shootout slap shot is ballsy. You make it, you look like a boss. You miss, you're a goat. But he had an overall bad game in my eyes.

Gionta played 2:19 in OT.

Holy ****nuts.

 

[schpaff]

21:00 minutes for Gionta...

I don't get it...he had moments this game but come on Disco.

 

[Mit Yarrum]

Is it cool to hate the coach? It's been 20 games.

 

[pf8363]

Ullmark had it stopped against the post. There's no way it could have gone in unless he got it with his skate or stick again.

Unless Ullmark kicked it in

 

[Beerz]

Gionta played 2:19 in OT.

He never leaves the ice with his linemates.

 

[fing0rz]

Wow I forgot how much I hate the shootout.

Just let them 3v3, it's just as gimmicky but at least it's somewhat hockey

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Dan's player selection is so unacceptable.

Systematically they're much better, but his player selection costs them games and that's not okay.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Lehners gonna have a hard time beating out Ullmark, especially long term

 

[Mit Yarrum]

Agreed. That's exactly what they should do.

 

[sabrebuild]

Legit tie against a good blues team, on the road. I like it.

Unless Ullmark kicked it in

How? His skate was behind it. If he had kicked it, it would have come out of the net.

 

[Jame]

Fire Byslma, Make Oreilly player coach lol

 

[jamers]

Unless Ullmark kicked it in

Yeah, was tough to tell.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Looked like off the post then off his skate to me

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Definitely looks like Steen touched it after it went behind Ullmark's skate.

 

[Myllz]

Fire Byslma, Make Oreilly player coach lol

Would he be able to make himself captain?

 

[Rhett4]

Is it cool to hate the coach? It's been 20 games.

Considering how much better they are and how they play a real system now, hating him over his Gionta obsession seems stupid. It's obvious he has a hard-on for Brian, but that doesn't wash out the good he's done in turning this team around.

Yea, they played a great final ~45 minute road game. I just hate seeing bad coaching holding them back.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

You guys should be pumped. Went from terrible to decent in a year and going to be a force going forward.

 

[Jame]

Yup. Love the system, hate the deployment of talent

It's going to continue to cost us points

 

[Montag DP]

Never mind, seeing it again I guess he could have kicked it in. I still don't think he did though, and its kind of annoying how they hardly spent any time on the review.

 

[jamers]

I get the anger over some player selections... but so far I think Bylsma has done a damn good job.

For what it's worth, I think the changes we want to see will happen, because they're logical and our results haven't been great in OT.

 

[Zman5778]

Definitely looks like Steen touched it after it went behind Ullmark's skate.

Inconclusive at best. Besides, at the angle Steen's stick is at when it's right by the puck, if he does touch the puck, I'm not sure it'd be a helping touch.

 

[Jame]

We were terrible for 2 years to get elite talent. We got them, and then didn't use their talents in two of the most obvious "use them and get the extra point l" scenarios.

No Reinhart in OT
No Eichel in SO

Totally unacceptable

And that's on top of season long idiotic deployments of guys like Gionta, Legwand, Franson, weber, etc
