Post-Game Talk (GBU): Good, Bad, Ugly... A Win! Beatin' the Bruins in Boston - 12/7/2023 3-1

[Chainshot]

Good:

9-24-77 with a lot of jump early and Peterka in particular driving his line.
Tage ripping one.
Levi looked good.
Yonni all over the place.
Vic moving his feet and doing things to help win shifts, break up plays and defend... and then he scores.
Clifton's cleanout to help spring Vic's goal.
Mitts, Cozens and Samuelsson defensively with the Bruins net empty.
Robinson-Krebs-Okposo did some things that looked like a pro checking line.

Bad:

The disallowed goal was so NHL.
The lack of the tripping call against Zacha with Buffalo on the PP was also so NHL.

Ugly:

This week has sucked a lot in real life.
Marchand being a dirty dink with yet another lowbridge hit. Anyone shocked? Anyone?

Levi. If UPL is not 100% Saturday, throw him right back in
Tage
Team D except for the final 3 and a half minutes

Bad
Missing glorious chances

Ugly
Team D during the final 3 and a half minutes
Refs

 

[Sabre the Win]

Sabres weren't helpless in the dot tonight. Amazing team effort all around for the win.

Now we only have to wait another 8 games before we see another complete effort.

 

[SundherDome]

So they beat the Bruins in Boston, Rangers at MSG, Toronto in Toronto ... I think that is the gut punch

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

I love the win. And yet my mind goes to concern that this game will galvanize this organization.
1. The 4 game Losing streak was not bad luck, it was a symptom of the problems this team has.
2. The coaches still need to figure out what the system is in the non-transition game. It's still rough.
3. Levi had a great game. He should still be getting starting minutes in Rochester when UPL is healthy.

I don’t know if I have ever witnessed the league turning over a no goal and then taking it back upon the challenge review.

Who’s Yonni?

 

[Chainshot]

Who’s Yonni?

Ryan Johnson's nickname - it's his Instagram handle, given by his teammates years ago and it stuck.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

How was new Bjork tonight ?

Working a double for Bezos

 

[Jeremy2020]

I'd like to believe this is the start of something..

..and I do..

..the start of a brand new losing streak next game

 

[MOGlLNY]

Nothing bad to say whatsoever. Good f***ing game.

But I’m gonna need to see more before I buy anything coming from this season. We saw this happen last week in NY.

 

[Beerz]

Who starts Game 1 in playoffs... UPL or Levi?

 

[BFLO]

G: we won and looked good doing it.

B: we only play this way once out of every 4 to 5 games.

U: Marchand

6K.

Robinson had a goal waved off and that line outshot their opponents at 5-on-5 six to one.

 

[Ace]

So they beat the Bruins in Boston, Rangers at MSG, Toronto in Toronto ... I think that is the gut punch

And they beat themselves in Buffalo all the time.

Who starts Game 1 in playoffs... UPL or Levi?

If this team makes it to the playoffs it means both had to be incredibly great from here out.

Which means UPL never lost the starters net.

 

[crossthesticks26]

Good:
Beating the Bruins and actually deserving it
Finally coming out ouf the gates with dedication
Tage slowly getting again where we need him to be
Peterka continuing to impress - such a gem
Vic successfully going around the world and scoring an important goal for once
Robinson providing a spark in his debut
Levi coming back strong

Bad:
Refs

Ugly:
Marchand

 

[Sabre the Win]

One game hot take: Robinson is more impactful than Giregensons.

Normal take: Sit Okposo and put Giregensons and Robinson between Krebs

 

[Mattilaus]

Nothing makes any sense anymore with this team

Also that Vic goal. It looked to me like he was just like "I know ullmark. I know where to put this"

 

[slip]

I always knew Dahlin was the problem.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Ryan Johnson's nickname - it's his Instagram handle, given by his teammates years ago and it stuck.

That explains why his Twitter handle is ryanyonson then

That's is exactly why.

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

Granato doesn't sound like himself tonight.

 

[Mattilaus]

Granato doesn't sound like himself tonight.

He's not used to giving pressers after a win where his team deserved to win.

 

[Tatanka]

I was entertained
