Post-Game Talk: Sabres 5, Penguins 4 (OT) - WHAT THE FLYING **** WAS THAT

[DanielPlainview]

 

[PensPlz]

Offense: 4-1 lead. We're finally going to win a game!

Defense: Hold my beer.

 

[AverageJoeFan]

No communication. Its obvious on everything they don't do right..

 

[heysmilinstrange]

The loss isn't his fault, but DeSmith looked like 2013 playoff Fleury on that OT goal, right down to the facial expressions afterward.

 

[Shady Machine]

Is that the season?

 

[vodeni]

I have not had such a sick feeling in my guts, this looks like two minutes before everything just falls appart, wait until GMJR make some more stupid trades...

 

[Clare2904]

What the **** was that, indeed.

Rust bailing on the play in OT

That was utter pee wee bollocks. I'd twat him with a stick if I was near him

 

[metalan2]

Hutton plays like a god, DeSmith can't stop routine unscreened slap/wrist shots.

 

[Turin]

Pearson and Brassard were good which is nice.

This team plays like a bunch of strangers playing around an elite core. There isn’t a lot of chemistry. I hate to be that guy because chemistry is overrated, but the glue guys are all gone besides Cullen.

 

[Sideline]

I think JR is going to do something big. Pray it doesn't echo into the franchise's future like Alex Semin in Carolina.

 

[pensforlife]

Is it normal to feel nothing lol?

 

[KIRK]

I'm pretty sick to my stomach. I know it's not 100% deserving, but I'd fire Sully. I wouldn't even think twice.

1. Firing Sully is part of the solution.
2. They won't do it.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

This team:

Came out so strong, completely bombed it in the 3rd and overtime. Time for a big shakeup.

Rust in OT?

 

[ncm7772]

Couldn't watch. As pathetic as it sounded?

And how was DeSmith? Good goals

 

[IcedCapp]

you ever go into a bar and see a really pretty girl and you go up to her and you see that she's neither pretty nor a girl and then you remember that you're a kitty cat and you're not in a bar you're in a pet store waiting for someone to take you home and everything is just a dream and is this all there is to life

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Wonder how JR reacts after blowing a 4-1 lead and looking like a pee wee team in OT to lose the game.

 

[SprootsMasterFlex]

What a mess.

 

[Ryder71]

We just couldn't get the Kill shot. We had so many opportunities to bury the Sabres, but we couldn't quite do it. Hutton was the difference. We could have had eight!

 

[ColePens]

Putting Rust out there in OT is one of the dumbest f***ing moves i've ever seen. Jesus lord.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Disappointment requires expecting better.

I am not disappointed at all. I am pretty pointed in fact.

 

[pistolpete11]

Dude first mistake... RUST ON 3 on 3. WHAT THE **** IS THAT?! Jake had a tremendous game!

Second mistake... START WITH MALKIN AND KESSEL. JESUS.

Third mistake... Jake/Brass were the two that were on fire. PLAY THEM.

I liked starting with Brass. Winning the faceoff is huge, especially 3-on-3. He was having a good game, too. Should have been Jake or Pearson instead of Rust, though.

 

[EliteGoaltending]

We blew a 4-1 lead to the Buffalo Sabres.


WE BLEW A 3 GOAL LEAD TO THE ****ING BUFFALO SABRES!

Perks of having JJ, Maatta, Ruh and Oleksiak as your bottom 4, I'd say.

 

[Gurglesons]

Feel like that is the season.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Dallas is going to murder this team.

 

[HuskerTornado]

The 7-0-0 record when leading after 2 is dead.

 

[KIRK]

no no no.

you demote him to assistant coach and THEN you fire him

THEN, JR fires Guerin . . . right before firing himself.

 

[Turin]

Hutton plays like a god, DeSmith can't stop routine unscreened slap/wrist shots.

One is a starter and the other a backup we’re forced to play because our starter is a mess.
