Post-Game Talk (GBU): GBU Kassassins Creed

[wunderpanda]

g- Ennis had that nice goal early
-CoHo was pretty good guarding against Sedin early
-McBain scored

b- Lu had a rough homecoming
-CoCo with a few questionable passes
-CoHo giving up defensively on the Booth goal

u-Kassian 4 assists, put him ahead of Hodgson in even strength points this season, 22-20
......

Sedin ceremony was classy, liked the silver puck and the horse vacation seemed so random. The painting was awkward tho, why would he want a painting of himself?

With respect for the OP, I'd like to change this to the AGBUPD thread...

Awesome = wunderpanda's recap without an overt hate-on-Hogson bias ;-)

Good = opening shifts, starting with Hodgson's ownership of Sedin in the dot, and culminating with the Ennis/Stafford duet on the first goal. Great start.

Bad = The middle and the end. Especially the part about being up 2-0 and magically giving away 4 consecutive goals.

Ugly = All the stupid Hodgson/Kassian commentary. Who cares. This game was about hockey, not a 2+ year old trade.

Pathetic = Magically giving up 4 consecutive goals (or did I mention that already?).

Delightful = Not needing a post-game AA meeting. Phew! Went 60 minutes without even worrying about drink refills to get thru watching Leino on the ice.

(FYI, about the H/K trade, it's done. Hodgson has found a good home in Sabre-land so we got a kid with a rep for quality character and a manageable contract somewhere between 1C and 3C, while Kassian (if he's equally lucky) will get his own development support over in Vancouver. Leave the kids alone.)

At this point, why is anyone even upset/surprised that the Sabres were up 2-0 and then let in 4 consecutive goals? Of course they did that! They're terrible. That's what their job is now" Royally disappoint and just plain suck.

For those with playoff hopes still in mind:
Assuming you need at least 92 points to get the final spot, the Sabres would have to win 22 of their last 11 games to get in.

If I was a betting man.....

Playoff hopes?? What board have you been reading??
I've also heard several times that the sabres have been mathematically eliminated.

Seems about right... if we can win 22 of the next 11 games, we deserve to make the playoffs.


Seriously... Ennis/Stafford were good again. The 4th line had some good moments, especially that 1 shift in the 2nd period. Oh... and Ristolainen looks ready for the show.

We are pretty close to locking up last place.
The Oilers have 11 more points and have 10 games remaining
We have 11 games remaining.
We would have to win at least 6 of the last 11 and the Oilers lose all their games.

Have you seen the Oilers play lately? That team looks like they are imploding.

Yup, just like the last time fans threw their jerseys on the ice.

The Buffalo ‪#‎Sabres‬ need 19 goals in their 11 remaining games to avoid being the ‪#‎NHL‬'s worst scoring team, in terms of goals per game, since 1936.

He was joking. In that post he said we need to win 22 of our next 11 games to get in.

Yeah, didn't even catch that. My bad. I must have been instantly thrown off by seeing the word "playoffs" in a Sabres thread.

Now this should be interesting.

I can definitely understand that.

Granted, it's a tall order....but you know Stafford and Ennis when they get going!
