Post-Game Talk (GBU): The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Chicken Dinner Winner - Sabres 3-2 in OT

[Chainshot]

The Good:

A win!
Cozens line were dynamite tonight, rewarded with a goal and a wide margin of territorial advantage.
Quinn scored and had what might be his best game since he got back in the lineup.
Mitts getting the GTG and Benson having a hand in it.
Benson all over them.
Not a bad night for Luukkonen.
I liked Power tonight.
RJ-CC had a nice game.
Faceoff fetishists - 31-23 in favor of Buffalo tonight.

The Bad:

Dahlin still looks like whatever ails him is ailing him, the skating is just not there right now. Two GA that can be seated firmly on him making mistakes.
Bad bounces almost got the better of them.

The Ugly:

The Powerplay is still not good.

My post would just be plagiarizing @Chainshot so...what he said.

Good win, boys.

 

[Mattilaus]

Mixed up my times and missed this one (also didn't make much of an effort to check start times), i can see from the box score it looks like we dominated, but did we actually?

G:
A win and at home
Skinner OTG
Appert first NHL win
The Energizer Benny... Yeah I'm calling Benson that now
Mitts, Greenway. That whole line was good,
The kid line was great especially Quinn

B:
Dahlins worst game in a long time
1st line was quiet
Power had some rough moments

U:
nothing
Edit: NVM the PP still sucks major ass

Yes. We were the better team for virtually the entire evening.

Benson always active. Like watching him play.
Cozens, Quinn, Peterka line but thought Quinn was strongest on that line.
UPL made the saves when he had to
Joker nice game back
Defense was very active this game. Liked that.

B
Tage, Tuch Skinner meh can be better
Mitts - Scored but seemed like he has been battling the puck lately
Dahlin - Remember that 15 game skid after the injury last year around game 55-60? He looks like that Dahlin. Thinking he is playing injured.

U
Nothing. Good Game.

Crowd looked good tonight, happy they got to see a win. This team too often sends them home disappointed when the crowd shows out.

That being said, this is a game you should be winning 9 out of 10 times.

Not dead last in the conference
liked Ryjo Clifton
Power could have been the goat had not maintained possession but he did fed Power and Skinner buried it. Hoorah!
did not get goalied

Dahlin not looking healthy
Krebs with a dumb penalty
Quinn and Cozens forgot they have another guy on their line.
Sammy just doesn’t have any offensive hands

A Saturday afternoon game and the building looked half empty.

Huh? The building was full

Now just beat Ottawa and give us some hope entering the new year.

 

[Chainshot]

Huh? The building was full

Game sheet says it was a sellout.

Game sheet says it was a sellout.

My eyes concur that most of the seats were inhabited by humans.

 

[toddkaz]

15/20 on the faceoff dot and has his percentage up to 49% Not bad.

 

[sabremike]

My eyes concur that most of the seats were inhabited by humans.

There were actually several springboks in 320 who were visiting from South Africa along with a family of Llamas from Peru.

 

[Gras]

At least the 2 non-calls for penalties didnt hurt us,

Didn’t look like it on tv…but I will take your word for it if you were there.

I watched it on TV and thought the building was pretty darned full.

Lots and lots of kids.

 

[sabremike]

Thanks @Chainshot !

 

[Dirty Dog]

Had a kids birthday party so I missed this one. Happy to hear Quinn had a good game

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Lots and lots of kids.

I could see how half-sized humans might give the impression of more empty space than there actually was.
