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

[Reddawg]

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

Apparently I’m the problem.

I feel this…I didn’t bother to tune in either so now I can’t watch the next one.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Jack is getting jealous.

We need Jack to come back and elevate Cozens, so let JJP and Benson build that chemistry.

Prob enjoyed that game the most this year. Should give the Rangers a participation trophy for winning the dot.

 

[Gras]

This team is like a bi polar woman one day its great and the next its a nightmare.

You could hand those out during pregame against us.

 

[Fearnot]

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.

What about Rosen?

 

[MOGlLNY]

This team is like a bi polar woman one day its great and the next its a nightmare.

but with way bigger boobs

 

[joshjull]

Best players showed up and put the work in. We won. Hopefully they remember that for our next game and the one after that and so on

Good:

• UPL
• Core players all played well - Dahlin, Power, Mitts, Tuch, Skinner, Cozens. I thought this was Cozens best game of the year, is this a sign that he is starting to round into form?
• JJP - the kid continues to be a difference maker.
• VO - solid effort
• Benson

Bad:

• Benson's "Cross-check" - The Rangers interference call was weak, but that call on Benson was the weakest call I've seen since, well, the last penalty called against Benson. I'm not sure what Benson says to the refs when he's out there, but it's clear they don't like him at all.
• The 2nd period - analytically it appeared fairly even, but I thought the Rangers rolled over the Sabres for long stretches. We were lucky to get out of that period with a lead.
• Jost, Rosen, and Ryan Johnson's ice time, they all had door duty in the 3rd period
• The 11-7 nonsense, we got the win, but if you're just going to give RyJo 8 minutes then send him back down to Rochester and let him play

Ugly:

• The Rangers bottom 6 - firmly believe that weak call was the refs trying to reign in their running around and charging everyone in sight. Thankfully all their hard work resulted in a bunch of glorious opportunities for Vesey, who couldn't put the puck into the net to save his life.

 

[Zman5778]

That's absurd, and I don't even like the xG thing game-by-game.

 

[sabremike]

You have no idea how much joy beating THAT team makes me. Few days after the worst day of my life they came to Hartford and their announcers spent the game defending Peter The Pig and kissing his fat ass. I will never forget that day and my hatred of that entire organization will burn forever with the heat of a thousand suns.

 

[MOGlLNY]

If Jokiharju sits again I’ll have someone’s head on a spike.

Can’t believe I’m saying that

 

[markpenske]

Bad:

• Benson's "Cross-check" - The Rangers interference call was weak, but that call on Benson was the weakest call I've seen since, well, the last penalty called against Benson.

Some day someone will compile a list of worst NHL calls ever. That one is top 10 all day long

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Good game, guys. You may have a young roster, but you guys are loaded with talent. Hell of a job. And that save by UPL on Vesey was so f'n impressive.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

If Jokiharju sits again I’ll have someone’s head on a spike.

Can’t believe I’m saying that

Don't give up on 24 year-old d-men. They're just getting started.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Not gonna lie, that felt good to make the whiny Rangers fans go home sad. UPL is really starting to bring his game to the next level. He should be playing 2/3 at this point.

Sure felt good to see all of those Rangers fans heads for the exists after Tuch’s second goal. And even more of them after Mittelstadt’s empty netter.

That fifth goal was just the “f*** you” I needed to round out the 3rd too. Perfect game to attend, I give it five stars!

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Jost make a horrible play every time he was on the ice - I’m ready to be done with him. Rosen deserved his low minutes too.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Ugly: that the nickname UPL has seemingly surpassed 6K

So much this. 6K is a way better nickname

 

[RecycledEichel]

This version of the Sabres is a playoff team. Plain and simple.

This version is a stanley cup team. Though very unlikely we get this version too much this year.. I mean, we DOMINATED a cup favorite

 

[Reddawg]

So much this. 6K is a way better nickname

I wanted Special K's to be a thing but it was not meant to be.

 

[Willgamesh]

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

imagine Quinn with them? If it last more than 6 hrs call a Dr.
