GDT: #60 - Sabres vs. Lightning at 7:30 PM on MSG-B and WGR

[joshjull]

The way they play in OT is infuriating.

I was going to go with terrifying but infuriating works

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Or that he just plain sucks in the shootout. I'm starting to think if he's our best player, we're kinda ****ed.

You expect us to find an 1.25 ppg center instead of a 1.10? Eichel is fine as the #1 forward. So quick to forget how 9+53 single handily won us several games alone.

 

[MagnumForce2]

oh christ. Im so dumb. I was on the main board and clicked on the wrong article and just started typing. look for a while to realize Im in the wrong spot. prob should have my reading glasses on. im so freaking stupid. sorry boys.

thought I was on the leafs gamepage. how the hell did I end up here.... sorry guys

What was your take on the Sabres game tonight?

 

[GrierIsGod123]

way too many times we just backed off in OT instead of going for the win.

Playing like they're scared of giving the puck away. This team has no confidence.

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

Jack is ****ing bipolar. Goes from a player I love to one I get pissed at half way through the season.

I think you might be the bipolar one then

 

[old kummelweck]

Hutton deserved the win....played great

Second star if the game is the Sabres iron.

I think he's our Stamkos. Need to find our Point or Kucherov. You dig?

 

[Samsonite23]

Sure. Or I actually watch and analyze games.

 

[Samsonite23]

I think he's playing injured. But that's me.

I said the same thing a bunch of games back. It’s been a while that he’s played below the level he can play at. Either get him better by sitting him or get him to play well while he’s recovering.

 

[sabremike]

If we had shown this type of effort the previous 3 games we win them all. That's the thing that hurts.

 

[Club]

I hated our effort in that OT

 

[GrierIsGod123]

I hated our effort in that OT

Agreed...not good enough.

No doubt...good effort and Hutton was solid if not spectacular at times

 

[GrierIsGod123]

I think our talent level is very close to the previous three teams we played. This team tightens up when the games really matter, seem like they're mental midgets part two.

[Panthaz89]

Sure. Or I actually watch and analyze games.

from what I saw Eichel was trying to win the game while generally the other two linemates were staying back playing it safe hoping Jack would win it by himself when driving near the net.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Eichel was 3-14 on draws (21%)

 

[jBuds]

I don’t care to see our captain visibly pout mid shift when he’s dissatisfied with a dman curling back into his zone versus moving the puck up ice to Eichel. That shit can’t happen.

 

[MagnumForce2]

I hated our effort in that OT

Jack tries to do too much at times and our best trio was Dahlin, Mittelstadt and Reinhart but though they cycled the puck great...all three were tentative about putting the puck on goal... Skinner was terrible in OT

 

[SundherDome]

Hutton looked pissed in that post game interview

 

[Samsonite23]

You watched that game and saw Skinner stay back and play safe? Sorry, we watched a different game.

 

[truthbluth]

Risto had a great game but I'm sure people will only find negative things to say.

He got demolished at even strength. Just smoked.

 

[MagnumForce2]

Hutton looked pissed in that post game interview

Good....that shows passion....hope that attitudr spreads to some others

 

[Chainshot]

I hated our effort in that OT

I hated the player selections. And the shootout order.

 

[Kyndig]

Guess you didn't watch the game or see who we were playing? But stats yo.
