GDT: Game 3: Columbus at Buffalo | 10/10 7PM EDT

[joshjoshjosh]

Oof. Had Miller dead to rights

 

[NotWendell]

Buffalo is a very slow team.

You're bang on with that one! We're skating rings around this team.

 

[Columbus Jack]

Even if he doesn't it's a garbage move to hit a man when he's down.

So were the crosschecks to Folignos head when he didnt have a helmet

 

[skimp]

So a hypothetical situation.

Boone Jenner/Ryan Murray has a 4 goal game, and the stupid Canadian media decides to blow it out of proportion. Which veteran on the team would say to Portzline that they'd whip out their pet rooster if they scored 4 goals?

Answer that question and I think we know who our new captain should be.

Don't let this get buried in a GDT. It deserves its own thread with a poll and everything.

Wiz, maybe Johansen.

I actually don't know the guys' sense of humor so well. Who knew Jumbo Joe was so funny?

 

[Zarathustra]

I can see the gifs of Prout playing soccer already.

 

[eljefe72]

I could of scored that Gabby

Foligno or Umberger could have scored that.

I say Boll

Jeff Rimer could have scored that.

 

[Crede777]

0/5 on the powerplay won't cut it.

 

[EspenK]

Well at least they gave us something to kvetch about.

 

[NotWendell]

0/5 on the powerplay won't cut it.

Our power play could have scored that!

 

[Jaxs]

0/5 on the powerplay won't cut it.

Agree. It seems as though they're looking for the fancy goal. Also the three goal lead has made them take their foot off the gas.

 

[major major]

The guys are looking to pass too much on the PP. Our puck movement is a bit faster on the PP tonight, which is good, but what good is it if no one wants to rip it.

The Sabres have finally figured out how to stop the rout from getting worse.... put the Jackets on the powerplay.

 

[Columbus Jack]

Our PP showed that it couldn't score that!

Good one.

Is this the new fad in hockey? It doesn't matter what level or what team, it seems like everybody is trying to get an absolutely perfectly clean look at goal when they are on a power play.

This is a prime example of perfect getting in the way of good.

 

[ConoR187]

our schedule has been very easy so far

Take Foligno as an example. He stickhandles through whole teams... doesn't score. He whacks the puck towards the crease... scores.

Well, that ends Saturday.

Exactly, I think this whole "basketball on ice" direction the NHL is trying to take the game definitely has its limits. Hockey will always be more of a tough physical game than one of finesse.

 

[Dednimnepo]

Did we get any shots on goal from the point on the power play? All the shots seem to go wide.

Unless you're the Blackhawks. Most goals are of the dirty variety anymore, so more shots on the PP creating rebound goals, will be fine with me.

 

[NotWendell]

This is looking like a 20 minute penalty kill.

 

[NotWendell]

Isn't "Wisniewski defends" a contradictory statement?
