GDT: Game 53: Hurricanes @ Sabres - 2/7 7pm ET (MSG-B, WGR 550)

I wish Housley would play Eichel with Dahlin

 

[sabrebuild]

Why is risto taking the guy above the dot...pass him off and take the threat

Jack had his stick off the ice the entire time he tracked a fwd with the puck.

That’s a lazy, entitled defense isn’t my job move by the Captain.

I wish Housley would play Eichel with Dahlin

Then who's left to drive play??

 

[Tatre]

We look awful

 

[Aladyyn]

Sobotka coming in with speed... dumps the puck in

 

[Moskau]

Going to be a long night if Risto gets his usual 25 minutes.

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Carolina is really good defensively...it's really night and day compared to us.

 

[Daz28]

Sobotka coming in with speed... dumps the puck in

He made a nice pass in earlier

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Then who's left to drive play??

You are joking right? Having Dahlin out there with Okposo makes a difference?

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Wow...McCabe and Scandella with all the time in the world get pinned in. They both suck pretty badly.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Not sure we have a legit scoring chance yet?

 

[CrazyPsycho]

11 mins dont think the Sabres have a scoring chance yet

 

[Daz28]

You are joking right? Having Dahlin out there with Okposo makes a difference?

Ok, let's have McCabe try to bring it up when Jack's not on the ice

 

[GellMann]

Scandella and McCabe have all the time and space in the world, and neither can keep the puck on their sticks for more than half a second, and then Carolina wins it back. Jesus. These guys are supposed to handle their own zone.

 

[Aladyyn]

I wish this team was coached half as well as Carolina has been in the past 5 years or so.

 

[Snippit]

Based on limited viewings Aho might be on Eichel level

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Going to be a long night if Risto gets his usual 25 minutes.

Our 2 worst DZone guys paired together and getting the most minutes, I am scared

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Ok, let's have McCabe try to bring it up when Jack's not on the ice

It will be the same outcome with Dahlin bringing it up and passing it to Okposo.

I will take 2-3 goals from Dahlin+Eichel than 0 from Dahlin + Okposo

 

[Buffaloed]

Not sure we have a legit scoring chance yet?

No, they were doing the rope-a-dope and got stuck on dope.

 

[Roost]

I’m currently watching with one eye open. When they’re in their defensive zone I’m squinting with that opened eye.

 

[Daz28]

Based on limited viewings Aho might be on Eichel level

Let's hope his agent thinks so

 

[sabrebuild]

He made a nice pass in earlier

Sobotka is infuriating. He occasionally flashes skill, like you said a good pass here or there.

But he is objectively lazy, just here for his paycheck.

Girgs does a nice job to win a puck and breakout and Sobotka is/should be cutting up the ice to open the defense, maybe catch a chip off the wall.

Instead he just coasts. Just a huge waste of space.

 

[Moskau]

Based on limited viewings Aho might be on Eichel level

He is, but that's a "hot take" around here.

 

[old kummelweck]

Brind’amour just may be a really good coach.

 

[Aladyyn]

Based on limited viewings Aho might be on Eichel level

Size/speed is what separates them.
