Missed most of the game, but let me guess what happened... Played a strong first, then quit skating (poor compete level against lesser teams) + Korpi was shaky? When I started watching midway through the 3rd it looked like they were putting all sorts of pressure on the Sabres goalie but couldn't get one in. Cam shoulda had that one with about 30 seconds left.

Tynan is terrible and not ready.
Another no-show is this Korpikoski. Didn't hear his name called once. Karlson gets a lot of love, seemingly for his defense I guess, but I don't think he's anything special.

Like jack Johnson high sticked in face , cut , official watching , and no call , to Dubinsky jumped by 2 players and somehow getting called , to hartnell being jumped and gets the major , to phantom hold on foligno . Absolutely garbage

I mentioned the Johnson call. Dubinsky call is one thats usually made. Hartnell and Foligno calls were right, IMO.

Can't blame the refs for that. The team got up 3-0 and thought they had it won. The Sabres had other ideas. This is the NHL, you have to fight for every point.
I hate it when they get up big too early. It's always motivation for the other team.

Dubi made a clean hit and Buffalo took exception. 2 guys jumped him including Gorges who was punching him as another Buffalo player pinned him down. Gorges got no penalty and should have been ejected for being a 2nd guy in.
Hartnell had words for a guy and next thing you know half the Buffalo team is surrounding him grabbing him by the face and throwing punches. How does he get 3 minor penalties and 10 guys only combine for 2?

Loss is a loss and we can't change that , but foligno seemed disgusted with officiating and referenced it , post game show pointed out multiple sketchy calls . Combine that with multiple injuries , and our back up goalie being shaky and we lose . I'm not one to usually ***** about officials , but when they let late hits go all night by buffalo and call touch calls on us , that complete Bs

I never understand why people visit other peoples GDT to lurk and come back to their own GDT's to say what they're saying, let alone comment in the GDT to stir the pot.

I get it. Your pissed off that we gave up a 3 goal lead and you have to have your scapegoat so you feel better. Some picked the refs you and another picked Korp to throw under the bus. It's human nature.
Not remotely useful however and also not fair.

Garbage game! And to me the third goal stands out where Eichel is able to stand in front of Korpi with Foligno between them doing nothing to Eichel but adding another screen for Corpi. That's just awful defending by Foligno. Buffalo deserved to win this one! Learn and move on.
The fact the team stopped skating for a period doesn't take away from the fact Korpisalo didn't play well. What is truly useless is pretending a key component of the team wasn't a problem because "well the skaters didn't play good either". They're not mutually exclusive concepts.

From a time standpoint, a broken hand can heal in 3 weeks. Playoffs start April 12th. Let's hope it's not more extensive , as this would put him back, right before playoffs start .

What, me worry?
These games happen.
When we sucked we beat some good teams like this. Roles are just reversed now with some of these teams. I remember leaving the arena after wins against good teams and their fans would be saying, "hey we are in the play-offs and you aren't", and they were right, so think of it that way. Sabres are playing for pride, and jobs.
Learn from this, then forget it and move on.

It's been a long season.. very disappointed to see Ryan Murray break his hand.. that really sucks.. as for giving up 5 straight goals, schit happens ya know. We were on a really hot run, got up by 3 in the first.. and let the momentum swing the other way on the road. Not happy about that, but I'm sure Torts will deal with it
Pretty much. Backup goaltending is not a strength of ours. Pittsburgh definitely has a luxury there.
Just saw the 4-3 goal, I think Bob would've made that save. Seemed like it was a technical problem with Korpi not getting over to the post properly. He definitely got there in time, but didn't cover the post like he should have.

Joonas mentioned goals 1 and 3 in a the post game so I'll assume he knows he has to do better and likely will. Torts seemed more upset over goal 3 but both 1 and 3 came at the beginning and end of the period. Yeah Bob makes a couple of those saves and Korpisalo can too.
I think what is getting folks angry about the officials is the non-called high stick on JJ. It happened right in front of an referee and everyone else on the ice had a view. It drew blood. That is a double minor, 4 minutes of momentum swing that went uncalled. Other things, yeah stuff happens you just play through inconsistencies but c'mon.
Is there some rule or regulation that negates a high stick in certain situations?

I think if you're shooting the puck it's not high sticking. Obviously he wasn't shooting but Johnson knocked him down. When he lost his balance he swung his stick. I think that's why there was no penalty. I also don't think he meant to swing his stick at his face.

I'm going to avoid reading the Game Day Thread for this one.. That type of game.. But, I'm actually bothered and still slightly upset at this loss
Thoughts..
1. Korpisalo isn't like Bobrovsky. Bob makes those stops, Korpi doesn't. I'm willing to bet Korpisalo doesn't get many playoff games.
2. Karlsson has been invisible in the stat sheet for quite a while now.. I'm actually not greatly concerned if the Las Vegas Knights want to pick him up in the Expansion Draft. He's played with more hustle/energy the last couple games, but little offense. Korpikoski is invisible again.
3. You just knew that Ryan Murray had broken his hand in blocking that shot.. Unfortunate for Ryan Murray, but I think this is where we need to be slightly thankful that we traded for Kyle Quincey these next 4 weeks or so.
4. I could have swore we became slightly snake bitten when Buffalo put Lehner in at goal.. There were a couple that left me thinking "how did that not go in"- Including Cam's shot the last minute.
5. Unfortunately, we are now 3rd in the Metro. Could Pittsburgh please lose a game?
