GDT: LA Kings (24-15-10) at Buffalo Sabres (22-25-4), 7:00 pm EST; MSG-B , BSW

Kings deserved this. I mean they went out and hired Hitler as their coach!

Wait a minute....

*squints*

Oh, they hired Hiller. My bad.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

6-0 with Bryson in the lineup. MVP! MVP!

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

Couldn't have taken too long? only 1 or 2 per season?

Lots of seasons with 1-2 shutouts by all goalies combined. Some 3 total (Lehner had 3 one year but nobody else had any), some 0 (shortened seasons).....

California, über alles! Uber alles Cali….fornia!

He is the Dalton Smith of defensemen.

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

UPL has a better season than Tage Thompson or the Sabres hire Ted Nolan

which is more unlikely

 

[paulmm3]

Just watched replay. Liked most guys and the team overall tonight but it took me way too long to realize Tage and Skinner were in the lineup.

The team I watched tonight looked an awful lot like the team I watched last year..

Every line had great shifts in the o-zone, cycling the puck, moving around and creating chances!

UPL is really starting to form into a starting goalie. Looked calm, composed and move with fluidity and not sporadic

Also, how about Cozens blocking a shot with like 20 seconds left with a 7-0 lead?!

I literally hated nothing about tonights game

 

[Svedu]

UPL, Sabres best goalie with ease. His weakness and a pretty big one (due to size mostly): Lateral fast movements but other than that? He's a sure starter. He should be praised the most in this roster.

 

[DJN21]

He is the Dalton Smith of defensemen.

hey you leave him out of this! he single handedly scared Tampa to death is less than a minute of ice time!

Was nice seeing Cozens put that extra effort in on the PK in the final minute to protect UPL's shutout

i shall not be calling him by his christian name. not on these internets, at least.

A "Christian" name is a first name; to distinguish from a family name.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

That was fun.

Don't want to take anything away from the Sabres victory, but what a horrible game for the Kings. Poor goaltending, giveaways, losing puck battles, couldn't make easy passes, couldn't hit the net. All that coming off a 4-0 win over the Oilers. Their heads must be spinning.

I hope the Sabres saved some swagger for the Panthers.

 

[Sabre the Win]

I forgot they were playing, checked the mobile app and saw it was 7-0 with 10 mins left in the 3rd and I still couldn't be bothered to go out of my way and put on the game. This team has literally killed my spirit to the point that I don't want to watch them even when winning. I don't care about the draft anymore either. I'm practically done with the Sabres and judging by the 12 page GDT, a lot of others don't care either.

Im happy for everyone who got a moral victory out of todays game.

Sabres hiring Nolan. Because Ted is battling leukaemia right now, so there’s no way he’ll try to coach.

And I can’t even joke about this team anymore

People are gonna be bashing your stance but I’m right there with you man, this team has really destroyed my passion for this team and hockey in general. Nice to see them get a dub, but in the grand scheme it is such a meaningless win.

I think we're all in agreement, fans are just as jaded and disinterested as the players usually look on the ice.

What if you aren’t Christian? I don’t have one of those names.

But onto the hockey. I only just checked the score. She’s been a full on day for me managing a whole lotta shit at work then straight off to BJJ for the evening

WTF happened? Sounds like this was a return to the (good old?) days of last season.

 

[TageGod]

Skinner and Okposo 5v5 ability is non existent. Skinner is a shell since his injury. VO still found a way to be 100% useless in a 7-0 win.

Fun game though Cozens line looked like the globe trotters in the O-zone.
Mitts line was excellent, but I think Greenway was the star of the line this one.
If this is the UPL until the end of the year hold onto your hats this team is going to get your hopes up.....

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised to see the score this morning but otherwise wasn't worried about missing the game. I guess I'll watch the highlights at some point.

I did notice Tage and Skinner had a combined 3 shots. Okposo still carrying that line? *Sarcasm

[old kummelweck]

Sabres put up 7 and Thompson with 1 shot and 0 points.

The Middlestadt line looks like something that could be a third line going forward of course they are talking about moving him and Greenway.

LA looked like complete garbage

In Thompson’s defense, he was forced to carry two pieces of luggage in Okposo and Skinner last night. Old school bags, not even with rollers.
