Post-Game Talk (GBU): The Luukkonen's hawKliKe hoKuspoKus caKewalKs on Broadway - Sabres 5 - Rangers 1, 11/27/23

[Dingo44]

The peril of typing up a post before the end of the game. It's perilous peril.

An alluring agent of alliteration.

Uber Pecker. Ride him HARD. To the hell with the precious feelings of Comrie and Levi
Dahlin
Casey

Bad
Nothing really for us
Rangers only 3 shots in the 3rd

Ugly
Refs: Can it be any more clear this league is not a sports league but is pre determined sports entertainment like AEW?

 

[Beerz]

Just went to the boxscore.

That might be the quietest 2 point night out of Power yet. I was like....wait.....he had 2 points?!?!?!?!?

I thought outside of his opening shift f up ... Power played a solid game

 

[Fearnot]

Benson and JJP with some natural chemistry and played really well together.

UPL's best game in a Sabres uniform.
Top line came alive
literally nothing annoyed me tonight other then Cozens drop pass on the 3-1
Everyone had pretty good games

B:
Nothing

U:
That brutal crosschecking penalty on Benson which caused UPL his Shutout

Shoutout to Olofsson. He might have worked his way out of the dog house.

 

[sabresfan129103]

Interesting, Power with big minutes tonight at 25:01. Dahlin just barely below 20 at 19:59.

Feels like this needs to comeback about now:

I think it was Benson's best game. He looked like a pro tonight.

Shoutout to Olofsson. He might have worked his way out of the dog house.

Key word there is "worked". He's engaged at a level we have not seen for a long time. Fighting for pucks on the boards. Keeping his head up looking for his teammates. He's not just waiting for the puck to find his stick to shoot.

Ride his ass!!

I think he was reeled back a little after blocking that shot with his ankle.

He had a stretch like this back in Dec/Jan/Feb last year.

Jack is getting jealous.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

I made a conscious choice not to watch, then casually checked the score.

Apparently I’m the problem.

Same. I sanded the drywall on my bathroom ceiling instead, figuring it would be a better time than the last game.

[ValJamesDuex]

numbers back it up

 

[Irie]

UPL might be the guy

Watching UPL's performance again tonight and seeing Swayman giving up a lot of softies lately goes to show that there really are only a few number of goalies in the league where you know exactly what you are going to get night in and night out. With everyone else... results may vary.

Nope. That would be me. haven't watched a game in like 6 games. I come in here to read the comments and read the room. You’re welcome.

 

[BuffaloGooner]

I am buzzing after that one. So many thoughts.

The Godly

Ukko-Pekka Lukkonen - say his name. Spell it. He deserves that honor. What a God. Give him the reigns

Good

Mittelstadt Mode
Tuch is fully back
Benson unparalleled levels of dawg
Dahlin - shot block and all. I hope he’s ok when he takes the boot off
Peterka is our teams best forward sans a healthy Tage
Full 60. Rangers took it to us at times, we responded
Olofsson - seriously effective in his new role. Nice to see him embrace it. He’s good at it this role player thing.

Bad

Cozens again.
Samuelsson again - if anyone deserves to come out to get down to 6 D, it might be him

Ugly

Just don’t like rolling 11/7 but that’s just a me thing I guess. It worked out tonight.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Interesting, Power with big minutes tonight at 25:01. Dahlin just barely below 20 at 19:59.

A good thing imo. Can ride whichever horse is on top of his game and (relatively) rest the other.

G
Handing the Rangers back the 5-1 L that they left us with opening night
Loved the active D, pinching, skating, crisp puck movement. Smart, cautious plays behind our net.
Benson with 18:28 including crunch time, playing calm, smart, and hard
Mitts is just a full-grown "set it and forget it" top 6 center now
UPL so strong, plus a save of the year frontrunner?
JJ getting more and more dynamic, can see all those summer training clips in his play
Vic is a pro, respect him getting back to a useful level through some awkward adversity this year

B
Didn't like Clifton at all, but he's the only one

U
Buddies in NYC having the game blacked out
Curfew tonight. Hope the boys can have a few cocktails tonight in the city, that's a bonding win.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Bloody hell.

Just play like that more often.
