GDT: #58 – Sabres at Senators – Tue Feb 16, 7:30PM ET – MSG-B, Bell TV, TSN5

[Ace]

Frustrating loss.

We seem incapable of improving in OT or shootout. At some point the coach has to notice...right?

 

[Myllz]

Damn is this team awful at shootouts.

 

[jamers]

I hate the shootout so much

This.

 

[Zip15]

Do the Sabres even practice the shootout?

Yes. It clearly doesn't translate to games.

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

Lehner played so well all night, but bombed in SO.

Moulson put the monkey right back where it was with that SO attempt.

At least there was a point out of it?

 

[Dubi Doo]

Solid game. Sens seem like a team that will be floating in no man's land for a while.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

How does a giant goalie get beat 5 hole?

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Lehner sucks at the shootouts. God damnit.

More like the entire team.

The shootout has zero to do with the coach. Unless you think Ted Nolan's "kumpeet" coaching made them good at shootouts.

 

[Ness]

King Robb...ungood in the shootout. Good in regulation.

Aka I hate the shootout.

 

[Havok89]

Sens didn't deserve this one.

Buffalo didn't either with their inability to score even strength. They just can't put these games away.

 

[WeDislikeEich]

Well, seeing as the Sabres, down to a man, just seem to suck at the shoot out, it's only fitting that Lehner sucks at the shoot out as well.

 

[sabresfan129103]

Shut down by a hot goalie. There's really not much else to say. They played a great game.

 

[Daz28]

Moulson prob had him 5 hole

 

[CrazyPsycho]

You would think bylsma would go balls to the wall in overtime knowing they suck at the shootout........

 

[Moskau]

Could have really used Kane tonight. I hate picking up loser points.

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Lehner sucks at shootouts? He's barely played in a year and we can't even score to put pressure on other shooters.

 

[Intermission]

Before we blow this game in a SO, I'd like to say good game played overall.

Now, all this stank everywhere.

 

[Chainshot]

Lehner made enough big saves to get them there. He wasn't the problem. No goal scoring *skip* no goal scoring did them in... again.

 

[B U F F A L O]

Bobby Ryan first star? Should've been Anderson, Lehner and Dzingel since he got his 1st. The goalies were both good.

Agreed

 

[DapperCam]

Anderson basically won them this game. Eichel scoring on that break away in OT would have been sweet, but I think he was dog tired.

Actually it has everything to do with coaching, they pick the players. The team now has lost 5 or 6 points by losing in shootouts now? He puts in people who SHOULD be scoring sometimes. My suggestion would be maybe foligno (she has a penalty shot two games ago where he nailed it), Ristolainen (he has raw talent and might surprise). You shake it up, Kane screwed up so he wasn't there, and all the O-fers have had their chances, think outside the box. Legwand had a nice goal the other day maybe give him a shot? It's been annoying all year. COaching all year has been poor and he has really not done a great job so far.

Don't hurt yourself stretching.

Last time, it was Eichel and Moulson (based on career numbers) who should've shot. Now it's Foligno and Risto? Next time it'll be some other players. It's a shell game.

 

[DazedandConfused]

Eichel isn't who I wanted but he had Andy beat. Everyone was clamoring for Eichel last shootout, now he goes in and we still blame Disco for the shootout selection?
