GBU The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Exasperation. Skills Competition Loss 5-4 in Washington

[Chainshot]

The Good:

Mitts was an absolute dog tonight.
Quinn-Peterka flashing the jets.
Krebs getting back from being crushed by feeding Gus, Gus converting.
Gummi 2.0.
Matt Irwin, best supporting actor in a drama or comedy.
Power looked great. Thought Jokiharju was also good.

The Bad:

UPL is a bad shoot out goalie.
Whoever coaches the PK should be sacked.
Greenway was not it at all tonight.

The Ugly:

Tage at the faceoff dot.
Tage's line got their shift pushed in by Dowd's line all night.
Three goals against in the third.
Leaving points behind yet again.
NHL officiating is spicy.

[Gabrielor]

Upl is rage inducing.

Greenway was trash

Young team is young. Does things young teams do.

Gummi 2.0? I do not get this reference.

Gummi 2.0? I do not get this reference.

Lyubushkin scored his second goal.

 

[Sabre the Win]

If this team is on the same level as the Capitals, we aren't good, we just have many shitty seasons before this one as comparables.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

We need the Anaheim ducks to save us.

 

[Chainshot]

I really wanted Greenway and have for years. I was so excited to get him but man, he looks checked out and the Minny fan comments have been spot on. I’m starting to miss that second rounder.

He looks just as slow as they said he was. Hope he gets his ass in gear and forgets the pizza this summer to work on his skating.

If Kevyn even THINKS about going into next season with either of UPL/Comrie on the roster we are an unserious franchise and he’s a fraud.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Well.... that sucks. Not much else to say. Sabres let it get away.......

 

[slip]

We need the Anaheim ducks to save us.

5-1-3 in their last nine so not a far fetched proposition.

 

[Chainshot]

Whoever works with their faceoffs should just resign now. Just go. Don't return.

 

[Fearnot]

Team loses = Say young team

Upl will throw a dive or full scorpion before his man has passed the blue line, invest less once in awhile.

Oh well development year maybe we can be that team next year.

Take the special teams guy along

 

[Cirris]

I'm actually pissed at Tuch. You knew the ref screwed up and was looking for a shitty make up call. WTF do you give it to him on a silver platter???

This team has a mental problem with bad turnovers and brain fart situational awareness.

 

[Sound_n_Fury]

Good:

* The Sabres controlling so much of the game.
* Krebs with the bounce back assist after getting destroyed
* Boosh and Stillman are a nice pair
* Mitts has really turned into a fine player
* Donnie calling his TO and the team responding

Bad:

* The Sabres folding under pressure (yet again)
* NHL reffing. So predictable, so bad.
* Greenway! Paging Mr. Greenway! Anybody seen a Mr. Greenway?
* Tuch and TNT in the shootout
* Painful to watch Dahls battle though his injury and be limited in what he can do

Ugly:

* That Kuznetsof shootout goal HAS to be outlawed. NFW is that hockey.
* UPL and shootouts
* "It's a learning experience" post-game quotes

I think your gunna be upset

 

[MilkshakeMan]

Greenway & UPL stink. Gimme Hino over Greenway any day.

Heck, with Comrie out, how about we call up Michael "Undefeated Last Year" Houser and ride him and Andy the rest of the year?

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

We also have more official losses than wins now.

That's a ridiculous thing to say.

Optimistic that you think someone actually works on their faceoffs!

 

[SundherDome]

I am so sick of watching our guys get grabbed or hit late or without the puck and it goes uncalled "because the team is young and they have to earn those calls". Skinner gets mugged once a shift and they rarely call it. I can live with a missed call here or there or even the occasional we messed up here is a freebie but it is out of control

 

[Ehran]

Ugly: Tuch taking a roughing penalty outside the zone while the team is on a power play (with a chance to maybe finally put the Caps away).

Not what you want to see from one of your team leaders. And elders. Just a bad time for him to do it.

I wouldn't mind UPL as a backup at all he literally just turned 24
