GDT: #33 – Sabres at Islanders – Fri Dec 23, 7:00PM ET – MSG-B

[AustonsNostrils]

we're regressing, have been for weeks despite picking up points

 

[Uberpecker]

Do they have drive-in spaces in their arena or what's that truck doing there in the corner?

Goal against. Yikes.

 

[Ace]

Like...hey dumb dan...member all those games we were winning or getting points in? How was your top d pair? Do that.

 

[sabresfan129103]

I've had just about enough of Carrier. Time to go back to the A.

 

[old kummelweck]

Unreal. How many games in a row are we going to get scored on first ??

what's the record?

 

[Aladyyn]

we looked better when everyone was injured

 

[1972]

Kulikov does not fit in here. Good player in the wrong system.

But McCabe had a bad game so he can't play with him anymore

 

[Moskau]

And a few of us said we would get worse when healthy. This team is much better with Fedun and Guhle in the line-up because they can make a pass... which is kind of what Bylsma's system revolves around.

 

[sabresfan129103]

Remember last year when they went like 10 straight games without scoring a goal in the 1st. Seems to be a common them.

 

[wunderpanda]

Ladd & Chimera dominating ROR's line

 

[Snippit]

They look a lot worse than they did last night.

Eh, that's not possible.

But in the first 10 minutes that I saw of this one, it was more of the same snooze fest, dump and chase hockey.

Guhle Murray couldn't do anything to keep him here, but he could have kept Fedun and sat Gorges, I'd rather play Franson than Gorges.

 

[Moskau]

Remember last year when we had a historically bad 5v5 team for the first 60 games of the season and everyone said it would resolve itself?

 

[Havok89]

Sometimes I wonder what a first period goal feels like..

Offensive zone face off with a minute left, better get Grant / Moulson out there..

 

[tsujimoto74]

Gorges has had like 100 bad games with Risto, where's his demotion at

 

[DapperCam]

I really liked Reinhart's game that period. I didn't really like anybody else's.

 

[Moskau]

Guhle Murray couldn't do anything to keep him here, but he could have kept Fedun and sat Gorges, I'd rather play Franson than Gorges.

I'm well aware Guhle couldn't stay up. Just illustrating that Bylsma's system is terrible for the players we have in place. Seregei Gonchar may be the only human being on the planet that thinks Bylsma's system makes sense.

Honest question: In how many games have we outplayed the opposition this year and won? I can think of:

- 4-3 NYR
- 6-2 Edmonton
- 4-3 LA

That's honestly it. If you add in games that we lost that we deserved to win, I'd throw in

- 2-1 loss to Toronto
- OT loss to the Capitals

Leaving the other 25 games...

 

[Zip15]

No points for Jack in 13+ periods.

We win off of individual heroics but we lose as a team

 

[old kummelweck]

He's just trying to make it to the break at this point.

 

[Sabreality]

wait, Franson isnt even hurt?

 

[Aladyyn]

He's just trying to make it to the break at this point.

aren't we all?

They didn't even outplay Edmonton. Edmonton had just tied the game after their goaltender let in 2 terrible goals only for him to let in another from center ice. Edmonton was the better team for most of the first 30 minutes of that game and if Talbot doesn't let that center ice shot in I really believe Edmonton wins that game by 4 or 5 goals as they were flying past the Sabres.
