[Beerz]

Zadorov is better than those two Clowns.

"Sabres having trouble getting out of their own zone..." - Dan Dunleavy

Dan, you'd better get used to saying this, because it's gonna be like that for 77 more games.

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

I may jump into the raging against not kids playing crowd soon. How much better would our center play be if we had Larsson and Grigs up here instead of Ennis and Hodgson?

Not saying they should do that but there is hope on the horizon. Now in going to rock back and forth mumbling this to myself.

Well right now it doesnt matter because win or lose the faceoff in our end, sabres breakout is terrible right now. Tape to tape passes are hard to come by tonight.

 

[Beerz]

To be fair, tonight anyway, it's Ennis' wingers having no center and Hodgson having no wingers.

Swapping Moulson and Foligno may just make some sense.

Sorry. Hodgson is sucking all on his own.

 

[sabres4ever]

Dear God.

The cones I use for practice are better. McBain looks like a Norris contender by comparison.

 

[moomoosoup]

Why don't the Sabres have the camera from behind the net on penalty kills. Watching Nashville and they're working that angle as I love it.

Unreal.

K, really, maybe take a step back and take a clean look. The line isn't looking so great for sure and it doesn't help that Hodgson doesn't appear able to win a second face-off, but the kid is actually having a decent individual game.

We disagree. It's cool.

 

[SamuraiArt]

Now we're even. Non high sticking called on Foligno, actual high sticking by Gionta missed.

Honestly they've had a lot of bad shifts, but the whole team has had a lot of bad shifts. As far as whole lines this period, I think they've had the most half decent shifts.

hahaha

I disagree as well. But I think we can overcome it. Though I do agree his wingers have been garbage.

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

now for buffalos great 3rd period play ...

 

[CatsforReinhart]

I can't wait until Hodgson and Ennis are both off this team.

does that make them expendable?

 

[RobertR]

So, can we step up in the 3rd? Or let it be as usual?

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Taaaaaaaank

 

[joshjull]

Shots 27-12

11-9 in the 2nd? We were better in the second? That's hard to believe.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

Well considering the 3rd has been the worst for us this year...I doubt it.

 

[SamuraiArt]

"Something about me people don't know? My thumbs are two different sizes..." Big reveal from Ennis player profile.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

Notre Dame is a good intermission time filler...Hurley is playing, Petersen is backing up.

 

[mikemcburn]

Nope

Tight in passes, pressuring behind the net (both ends), back-checking with actually good positioning (rather than looking lost), snappy stretch passes (shame Stewart gets fancy), solid defensive positioning on the point (personally I wouldn't trust him there on the pp, but it's worked so far), etc.

What else do you want to see him do in the 3rd (other than win a face-off and try to not be on the ice when Weber blinds his goalie before deflecting another puck into our net)?
