GDT: Preseason Game 5: Blue Jackets @ Sabres - 7:00pm EDT

[truthbluth]

Shitty tip in goal for Reinhart. I can’t believe that even counts as a goal.

 

[Paxon]

Great quick pass from Dahlin to send Eichel. Great skating line and pass from Eichel. Sam crashing the net. Feels good man.

 

[Dubi Doo]

This has been a much better period from Dahlin. He had one terrible shift in the first, but hasn't turned the puck over since then.

 

[Montag DP]

Dahlin - Eichel - Reinhart. I have a feeling that will be a pretty common goal sequence in the coming years.

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Eichel ate up ice so quickly from the blue line in and that pass was disgusting

 

[Ralonzo]

I dunno about Skinner being a passenger. He's been awfully disruptive on the forecheck. Reinhart gets the puck where it needs to be, Eichel is Eichel, and Skinner just hound dogs, finds open ice and cleans up garbage around the net, this could be a top-20 line.

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

THANK GOD Dahlin can make tape to tape passes

 

[Bones Malone]

Another reino tap in...

*ducks for cover*

 

[Ace]

I’m only half joking when I ask this...

Was that the first pass Eichel has ever received from a Buffalo defenseman that hit him on the tape?

 

[debaser66]

just get Kyle off PP1 don't you learn Phil

 

[Paxon]

Definitely looking forward to Sheary-Eichel-Reinhart when Sheary's healthy. Okposo and Mitts both looking much better tonight.

 

[Ace]

Ha...the average draft position on the Sabres goal is less than 2.

 

[HaNotsri]

Kind of erases all of the good he's done so far.

I don’t agree. If he makes stupid mistakes frequently then yes, but his style of play and what he has shown during this game is something we need. Perfect to get lines going if we’re a bit lacklustre or slow.

 

[slip]

Great Columbus goal.

 

[Ralonzo]

Too soft Mitts.

 

[Buffaloed]

Reinhart should be embarrassed by scoring a goal like that. What a disgrace to the Reinhart family. He doesn't even have the decency to do a spinarama.

 

[Chainshot]

Get the Aud ice size back, see how it works in the Sabres favor with quick pivots who can create havoc when D-men are off their angles due to the smaller neutral zone.

And Foudy is a gamer.

 

[Beerz]

Okposo on the PP point over Risto. Housley is on crack.

Risto isnt playing tonight

 

[Club]

ugh

 

[Tatanka]

Dahlin looked gassed

 

[Ralonzo]

Does this "allow a goal the shift after scoring a goal" seem just unbelievably frequent for this team, for how many years now? This isn't an anomaly.

 

[Chainshot]

I don’t agree. If he makes stupid mistakes frequently then yes, but his style of play and what he has shown during this game is something we need. Perfect to get lines going if we’re a bit lacklustre or slow.

Eh, he can't afford to make miscues that wind up in the net though. It was an inattentive play. He can't do that in the position he's in.

 

[Chainshot]

Borgen makes contact, gets the puck and moves it. Again and again. Love him.

 

[vcv]

What I loved about the Mitts play was that it was his game. It wasn't just a random nice play that you'll see from any decent NHL player. It was the "this puck is f***ing mine" mentality, then protecting the puck, then using the vision to find a pass.

If he's going to be a star, he's going to need that every game.

 

[Ralonzo]

That Arena from the outside looks like the average bowling alley on Broadway.
