GDT: Sabres @ Devils, 7 PM, MSG+

[Blender]

Of course now that we've won 3 of the last 4 we get a week off.

On the plus side, can you imagine how toxic this place would be if we went into a break with a losing streak?

I liked that Kane's two penalties led to their loss.

I feel like this always happens with Kane

Two memes satisfied:

I think it was our home and home series earlier this year when Bylsma called him out after one of the games. I've been sour on him since he posted that stupid picture of him on a Las Vegas balcony with stacks of money. I realize he was only 21 then, so he probably deserves a pass, but it seems to be one thing after another with him. I remember being intrigued by the idea of trading for him a few years back. He was supposed to be being traded out of Winnipeg since even before Winnipeg moved from Atlanta. It seemed like it was never gonna happen.

I tinkled in my pants, just a little bit.

Didn't get to watch all of the game but looks like they were pretty solid. What the hell are we going to do now till Sunday? This whole bye week thing is annoying.

Argue over the dumbest **** imaginable most likely.

Yeah, he's not hockey smart.

Clean hit, he comes flying across the ice and gives us the PP.
Thank you Evander.

IMO, Hall's best game in sometime.
His motor was running

Kudos to Blandisi for fighting Deslauriers.

Deslauriers' other fight partners over the last two years: Manning, Boll, Oleksiak, Latta, Neil, Brown.

Debate Josefson's usefulness for 5 days!

Nice to see these past bunch of games the forwards have been pulling up and looking to pass when entering the offensive zone instead of just throwing it in deep or blindly throwing it elsewhere. Same goes for the PP which has looked more fluid as well. Overall the offense has just been more proactive instead of reactive.

Part of the reason why we've looked a bit better.

Yeah, they have obviously trained zone entries (it is now usually Hall or Parenteau, who brings the puck in the offensive zone) and don't standstill on the PP anymore.

 

[Triumph]

The PP looked great last night, but let's not overlook how awful the Sabres are on the PK - they allow 72 shots per 60. The next worst team allows 58 shots per 60.

Yeah, but they have moved the puck better on the PP last few games. Not just against the Sabres.

Yeah, and he should not have had to drop the gloves either.
He made a clean body check earlier in the shift.

I also noticed a lack of dumpnchase when entering zones the last few games. Suddenly scoring goals and having offensive zone pressure. Doesn't hurt that the main guys who were half assing it in Palms and Henrique finally decided to start showing up on a near nightly basis.

 

[Unknown Caller]

One of the things that really bothers me about the current nhl is the fact that you have to fight every time you throw a solid clean hit. It's ridiculous. If someone takes a run at your guy and throws a cheap hit, fine. But every time a guy gets rocked with a clean hit, there has to be a fight. Just play the game.

Ward changed it up by putting Hall on the left-wall and Palms on the right-wall.
The point man in the middle blue line.

It has given Hall & Palms more ice to work with even if it has eliminated the one-timer which was too predictable and didn't work much anyways.
