GDT: Sabres (4-0-1) v. Stars (1-4-1) 10/14, 3:00 PM

[Dubi Doo]

Great work by Eichelto end the period. Would like to see Reinhart shoot in the slot.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Sabres now 6-0 in 2nd periods this season

12 for
2 against

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

Pretty great period by the Sabres.

Now don't go into a shell in the 3rd.

 

[gallagt01]

I know it's a boring game but it's pretty pathetic how quickly the energy in the building has died down since the season opener.

Yeah. I mean, today isn't the best example (afternoon game, mostly kids), but I felt the same through MTL and FLA, too.

 

[SabresFan26]

Dallas has a ton of possession time and then Sam buries one. Big third period ahead before our western road trip

 

[NotABadPeriod]

I know it's a boring game but it's pretty pathetic how quickly the energy in the building has died down since the season opener.

Today being an afternoon game probably means more kids in the crowd (and correspondingly less alcohol), which I'm sure plays a bit of a role.

Was a guaranteed Olofsson goal but the Dallas player read the pass sadly

 

[Daz28]

The biggest change on the top line is the passing is a ton better with Olofsson. Skinner just can't pass well.

He's more of a KO with actual abilities.

Daytime crowd is always gonna have this happen, not a lot of time to get a little liquid courage in and as much as it's awesome there's a lot of kids there they don't really help atmosphere much.

 

[dortt]

keep up the attack

Abd do not staple Dahlin to the bench. Did not like that he was not on the shift at the end. Keep up a full attack

 

[Snippit]

Olofsson's best game 5v5 so far

Dahlin has bounced back very nicely

 

[Dubi Doo]

Pretty great period by the Sabres.

Now don't go into a shell in the 3rd.

Hopefully Dallas opens it up a bit. Could be an exciting 3rd. Thank god we're not down. It'd be like watching paint dry with the way Dallas plays.

 

[Aladyyn]

"Who's the best player on this team?" is going to be a serious conversation this season and it will involve 3 players... That's my hot take for the day.

 

[Fjordy]

Very nice period. Goalofsson

 

[joshjull]

 

[Chainshot]

OK, let's not blow this 3rd period shall we?

Roll the lines, roll the pairs. I don't know what Montgomery has in his bag of tricks to get the Stars going, but that has to be a disheartening period after barely having an offensive pulse in the first. Boring road game ain't going to cut it when they have to come back from down 2.

 

[deVolt]

I know it's a boring game but it's pretty pathetic how quickly the energy in the building has died down since the season opener.

I would imagine lots of families + less drinking due the time may affect the atmosphere?

It's a 3 PM game on a Monday. I was going to go - tickets were cheap due to the time - but ended up driving to Michigan.

Just imagine this game in Dallas. The Stars have done NOTHING. They are being outplayed and out coached.

Risto 15
Dahlin 13:49

No complaints at all on the backend today

 

[Moskau]

You guys are right, didn't even think of it as a day game since it looks like it's 7PM here. The Florida OT winner was a weak reaction though.

 

[Daz28]

keep up the attack

Abd do not staple Dahlin to the bench. Did not like that he was not on the shift at the end. Keep up a full attack

When Dahlin wants it and is clearly leaving it all on the ice he does get mad ice time at the end. RK is smart enough to give the time to the player who's going

 

[VaporTrail]

"Who's the best player on this team?" is going to be a serious conversation this season and it will involve 3 players... That's my hot take for the day.

Of course it's going to boil down to one of three on our best line... Girgensons, Larsson, or Okposo.. With an honorable mention of course to Sobotka... Tough choices there

 

[Dubi Doo]

It's becoming more clear that the vision problems last year impacted his game greatly. I was wrong in wanting to get rid of him. He's been fantastic, and joki is a great partner for him.

 

[Gabrielor]

This third period is going to be a huge test.
