GDT: Game 33: Sabres vs Capitals - 12/15 7pm ET (MSG-B, WGR 550)

[Doug Prishpreed]

I see you guys finishing in the top three of your division.

Over Boston? I guess with all the injuries it’s possible but not banking on it

 

[Aapo]

Are we rolling the same lineup today as against the Coyotes?

No, + scandella

 

[Snippit]

No, + scandella

So the Ten is gone I presume?

 

[Club]

lets go boys!

 

[Ace]

So the Ten is gone I presume?

I’d say “he’d better be” but he’s been better than Scandella was anyway.

If it doesn’t turn for Scandella soon they have to move on. He’s playing below replacement level. .... hell hes playing below Tennyson level.

I don’t know if it’s in his head or if he just can’t keep up or more probably that it’s both...but he’s been a bad player this year...and that’s with getting easier ice time and matchups.

But there is always a gm that will take a vet D who they think is something he isn’t. Always.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

What the HELL are you doing, Phil?

 

[Snippit]

Hahah...hahha...funny joke

It's a joke guys! They're just kidding around!

It's....a joke...

please

 

[Jim Bob]

Phil trying to out-Phil himself tonight.

 

[Sabreality]

 

[Ace]

Well we just got a whole lot worse on defense

 

[TheStorm]

It's like he wants to lose but no one told him Sabres aren't tanking anymore

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Oh no

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[Jim Bob]

 

[Ace]

This will sound callous but he better be hurt.

He missed practice yesterday remember and it was called a maintenance day...but Berglund was called ill so that’s meaningless.

If he’s not hurt my Fire Housley clock goes back to one minute to midnight

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Well if he didnt take warmups Pilut is probably injured a bit...cant blame phil there. Makes the hunwick callup more logical too

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Not excited about Scandella Risto either

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[Ace]

We have a dozen people covering the Sabres and no one has been able to find out what happened to Berglund and no one knows if Pilut is injured. They cover the team the way I cover the team. I watch the game and nothing else.

 

[Ace]

Every D pair out there tonight has at least one disaster of a player on it.

Not good.

 

[Sabreality]

Every D pair out there tonight has at least one disaster of a player on it.

Not good.

Now Bogo is a disaster this year?

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Hoo boy if Pilut isn’t knicked up..

 

[Snippit]

Every D pair out there tonight has at least one disaster of a player on it.

Not good.

All of our blue liners have disaster moments. Those big, glaring WTF moments. Just something I'm used to at this point.

 

[Ace]

Now Bogo is a disaster this year?

No, he’s been excellent. His board pass to nowhere turnovers from behind his own net four times a game have been the key.
