GDT: 10/9 Sabres (2-0-1) v. Canadiens (1-0-1) @ 7:00PM

[Dubi Doo]

I love Johansson

He's been a great addition. I'm glad he's here for the next couple of years.

 

[Gabrielor]

I love Dahlin but come on kid show some urgency

That could be said about every single player tonight except the Larsson line and mostly Jack.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Too much 2nd guessing over the coach's ice time decisions......

I think the man knows what he is doing. Just chill a bit OK?

 

[StlSwedes]

I need to change my name to "The Prophet"

 

[Chainshot]

Really not impressed with how Krueger managed the end of the game, bailed out big time by the powerplay tonight

I like that he reunited the big line with 70 seconds left and the face off in the Montreal zone. That looked like he was going for it to me.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Does Eichel get a point on that?

He should since Montreal never had possession of the puck.

I'm starting to see tendencies i dont like, but I dont want to be a negative Nancy after a win.

 

[sabremike]

Another poutine victory.

FTFY!

 

[VaporTrail]

Does Eichel get a point on that?

i think so

 

[Chainshot]

No but the Habs were grabbing water waiting for Vlad to get to them on the forecheck.

They were grabbing everything in a Sabres’ jersey most of the night too LOL

He got horribly outcoached tonight, granted we have too many slugs still on the roster

 

[BuffaloGooner]

We are going to live and die by the PP. Shades of Sabres past when we had the #1 PP and sucked

 

[kirby11]

Seam play. Thankyouverymuch.

Loved miller's hesitation/shot fake to keep that lane open

 

[valet]

4pt night for eichel. Just another day at the office I guess

 

[Panthaz89]

Sabres had a lot of shots but the Canadians had a lot of quality ones good thing Hutton was in net today because I don't think Ullmark would have been as good.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

I like that he really needed the big line with 70 seconds left and the first off in the Montreal zone. That looked like he was going for it to me.

Against a division rival who is going to be one of the key teams to leapfrog over last season's standings to reach the playoffs, no less.

 

[debaser66]

Props for Krueger to sit Dahlin & Oli after they had some defensive struggles

 

[Fjordy]

MoJo

"horribly outcoached"

ok

 

[Chainshot]

It’s interesting that a team like Buffalo seems to have cracked the one-two-one defensive set up so common now. They get a lot of great looks off those players. I’m curious what happens when teams take that away, if we will see a return to the top of the umbrella being a viable shooting option with the bump in front for deflections and rebounds.

 

[VaporTrail]

Eichel with 8 SOG lol

 

[EichHart]

We need to get better even strength scoring. This PP won’t score every game like this. Unsustainable.

 

[JThorne]

that was nice executed

What? Only the pass/goal was executed nicely. The whole final PP was bad. It was a lucky bounce to Miller that caused the pass/goal. We got lucky.

 

[Buffaloed]

The Sabres need to hire a team exorcist. The spirit of Housley has been palpable the last couple games.

 

[kirby11]

Risto needs to not be playing over 40% of the game
