I think at this point Scandella pisses me off even more than Sobotka

Sobotka, driest equipment ever.

 

[Buffaloed]

Can they can get through the period without giving up a late goal?

 

[Chainshot]

Amazing shift from Jack.

 

[Chainshot]

Random thought.

What is the point of carrying 8 dmen if you’re not going to use all of them? Particularly when your dcorp has had several crappy games.

Think of what might happen if they even played 7 D occasionally in a given game, rotate in whoever is hot up front on the 4th line? Crazy, right?

 

[Daz28]

Again we kinda feel like the road team

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Mccabe has all day to exit zone...flips a puck 20ft in the air

Ok

 

[wnysupport]

Anyone notice Jacks face when walking off at the end of the period? He’s nursing something me thinks

 

[CatsforReinhart]

That is 100% on the coach.

I hate how Scandella plays but I hate Sobotka as a person. It's very clear he's just collecting a check at this point. If you really key in and watch him play you can see he's just trying to get his shifts over with without getting hurt or spending any energy. He was a completely different Hockey player before he got his contract. Sobotka is everything wrong with guaranteed contracts for an athlete. Scandella just sucks.

 

[Kevbeau]

At this point they have to either be showcasing Scandella for a trade (inverse effect at this point) or letting him work through something...right?

I don’t subscribe to a high level of accuracy in hockey analytics, but when everything tilts in one direction.....

I also don’t believe Housley is that obtuse but at this point my mind can be changed.

Agree...he’s losing battles on the boards that he normally dominates

 

[Chainshot]

This is paying attention to defense? Man. Have we really fallen that far to think this is good D?

 

[joshjull]

 

[Willgamesh]

Let's go, we better have a good 2nd period with all the kids in attendance. If we lose on such a joyous day does botts swat the House fly?

 

[buffalojedwardo]

That is 100% on the coach.

you sure?

 

[RobRayzor]

Did Duffer just insult Gibson?

 

[Daz28]

Did Duffer just insult Gibson?

Wasn't paying attention, what did he say?

 

[Daz28]

Sheary!!!!

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Wow

 

[Willgamesh]

f*** ya shears!

 

[MackAttack26]

Sheary!

Nice to see other teams D/G letting them down on a play big time for once

 

[gallagt01]

That was weak from Howard. I'll take it.

 

[Daz28]

Mike Green wth??? He made Scandella look expert level

 

[Chainshot]

That turnover was Sabres-esque.

 

[gallagt01]

How does the ref get in the way of that puck? It wasn't some kind of hot deflection.

 

[Daz28]

Nice break up Jake
