GBU Good, Bad, Ugly - Sabres loss a skills competition

[Game suspension]

All I can say is why the hell didn't Skinner shoot ? I mean he is paid to be the guy. I love Tuch but Skinner should shoot before him or anyone else.

Just basic logic.

Not sure if it's in this thread or the game day one, but Skinner is absolutely atrocious in the shoot out. And always has been. Like 1 for 19 atrocious. Breakaways just ain't his skillset. He thrives on confusion around the net.

Your Avatar reminded me that surveys consistently show 6 out of 7 dwarves aren't Happy...

I've heard they are going to increase OT from 5 to 7 minutes next yr?

He hasn’t made a shootout attempt successfully since 2012. He is 0-1 as a Sabre and 0 for his last 19.

I would be all for that. 3v3 is so much better than the shootout.

Really wish BUF hadn't allowed the fast 1st GA right off the drop, as it seemed they then controlled play / possession well until the 3rd when they let up a bit.

Montreal roster with largely a bunch of no-names.

Stillman (and previously Boosh on the short-handed snipe) have some of the prettiest goals of the season for BUF.

Pretty sure the phantom cross-check in OT was called by the trailing ref, who clearly couldn't see Krebs hands. No excuse for that shit, especially in OT. How can he say he saw it? Pathetic. Never change NHL, never change.

Too bad Comrie let in the dribbler in the shootout. Don't know why no one seemed to shoot above pad-level on Allen in the shootout.
Rousek should have been in the shootout, maybe even lead off. Put the fear of the unknown into Allen.

I turned the game off at that point
