Well this was butt ugly

 

[Snippit]

Did anyone else just see Okposo's "pass" to Sheary on that zone entry...

 

[oldgoalie]

Nice setup, meh on the shot Poms.

 

[Moskau]

That Okposo pass... my god...

Edit: Not the "good" one.

 

[deVolt]

Jason shoot uptown.

 

[MackAttack26]

Hellebuyck has been pretty meh this year but pretty great tonight.

 

[GellMann]

Kuznetsov couldn't be a worse actor if he tried, though the format of the NHL Tonight commercial is dreadful

 

[Jim Carr's Rug]

Jets puck support is fantastic. So was the Canes the other night. Sabres could learn quite a bit on that front.

 

[Gabrielor]

Man, once pommer and Sobotka are replaced with Olof and a credible 2 center, we’ve got something

 

[Fezzy126]

damn, Pilut getting carried like a briefcase to Hutton again. Phil is totally gonna bench him if he doesn't score AND we win

 

[OkimLom]

You mean the wide open shot he took on the boards. Boards had no chance

 

[kirby11]

Larry has been everywhere

 

[oldgoalie]

That was a great stop on Skinner. That one was going top shelf.

The crazy thing about the PP disparity is that the refs are only calling 1/3-maybe 1/2 of infractions Winnipeg is committing. The "even up" calls are coming sooner or later, so we'd better take advantage.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. We already seen 1 makeup call at the end of the 1st.

I wonder if maybe because Winnipeg is playing so dirty, the refs feel like they can only call so much of it?

It seems like pretty much every top team we’ve played this year is allowed to get away with all sorts of crap, though. Maybe that’s just the way of the NHL...

 

[MagnumForce2]

Of course, he's still amazing. But I'm worried about his skating speed.

It’s more about his acceleration than it is his speed. The top end speed is still there... he needs quicker shorter bursts initially to get to his long strides...this is where you create your seperation.

 

[oldgoalie]

That wasn’t a bad second period overall.

 

[GellMann]

We've played a solid game aside from that few minute stretch after the WPG goal.

My god I hope we get at least a point

 

[Sabreality]

Larry is driving them crazy

 

[gallagt01]

This team has to add some muscle at forward.

 

[Snippit]

Of course, he's still amazing. But I'm worried about his skating speed.

He still has the speed, it's just that he doesn't use it enough

 

[tsujimoto74]

Shout out to Larsson -- he's busting his butt out there and winning a lot of battles. Doing so well that the line looks all right even with Sobotka on it.

 

[jc17]

Another decent game through 2 periods. Another game sobotka had least ice time.

lol Okposo looks like a deer finding his legs out there, then a nice pass to Poms just to change it up.

90 mph to the wrong side. it was sweet.

Pilut needs to eat his wheaties and do a ton of leg/core work this coming offseason. Every time he’s battling in front of our net he is getting ragdolled and frequently knocked on his ass
