GDT: Sabres @ Ducks 10PM EST TV:ESPN+/Hulu Radio:WGR550 Small Team in a Small Pond

[joshjull]

Ugh, none of that happens if Joker, Peterka, and Mitts aren't fumbling easy pucks away all over the ice

I’d add Mitts gains the puck in our end, stick handles around 3 guys. Meanwhile his linemates blow the zone. I think one even changed. Leaving him zero options. So he skates it up, loses control leading to a crappy turnover.

 

[Ace]

Can’t believe the coach who hasn’t had them ready to play the entire year doesn’t have them ready to play. What are the odds?

 

[Chainshot]

will the sabres be able to not completely embarrass themselves against a team that is 15-30-1 and has only 6 wins at home???

Will the Ducks be able to no completely embarrass themselves against a team below 500 on the road?

 

[Jimmybarndoor2]

I hope Gibson does not get shutout. One goal lead looks large with one sog

 

[toddkaz]

Have you seen our record?

I don't think we've earned the right to say we "should be dominating" anyone this season.

Anaheim is a far worse and less talented team. Yes, they should dominate the Ducks. Should is the key word.

 

[Kevbeau]

No one on either team can control the puck

 

[Chainshot]

Gus dragging a man to the net.

 

[DapperCam]

"Suddenly the game has some carbohydrates."

What does that even mean?

 

[Ace]

I need a stat on percentage of Sabres who drive the net and get no call.

Has to lead the league.

and i mean…historically

 

[Fearnot]

Ace has done nothing besides tell the hard truths the rest are too scared to admit.

 

[Paxon]

Can a coach be fired halfway through the first period?

 

[joshjull]

Gus dragging a man to the net.

Plays like that are why I wish he played higher up the lineup. Few of these guys go to the net.

 

[Chainshot]

Looks like Benson and Peterka did make it on the ice because they're both in view on the replay of the goal.

That said, how they make changes seems like a good indicator of their preparedness and willingness to be be detailed. It was certainly slack there. As was Mitts turnover.

the stoppable force, the moveable object

"Suddenly the game has some carbohydrates."

Brutal

 

[Vito_81]

Nobody blows more point blank scoring chances than Mitts.

 

[Chainshot]

Don, fire your assistants.

 

[Paxon]

"Suddenly the game has some carbohydrates."

What does that even mean?

Yea. Pasta plays for the Bruins not the Ducks

 

[Chainshot]

I wish ESPN called games instead of stringing together endless anecdotes. Then again, TNT/TBS does the same thing.

 

[toomuchsauce]

confessing yet another of my (many) unpopular opinions:

i have no ill will toward Buccigross, and actually kind of like him. I think AJ Mleczko is good, too.

 

[Ehran]

"Skinner with the hard hit"... as he goes spinning around after bouncing off the guy.

 

[Chainshot]

Hey, a man in front on a shot!

 

[Paxon]

They prefer to let their graphic overlays do the talkin'.

Keep that agenda going.
