Last 1:15 will be played with the Sabres on the PP unless they manage to score quicker than that. (So, yeah last 75 seconds will be 5 on 4.)

Or not. Announcers claimed it was a penalty Must've jiust been an offside call.. 3. Detriot tomorrow/ Then h&h w/ Pens beginning of October.

Helenius drasw a penalty from Danielson. Sabres to the PP when they get back from the ice cleaning break.

Per the Wings in-rink stats, they have Detroit only out attempting the Sabres 48-34. Being outshot 33-10 (at least by their count), would've expected the Wings to have more attempts and the Sabres less. Probably why the game seems less lopsided than the score indicates. (Though Detroit has definitely been the better team.) And Power with nearly 5 minutes more ice time than anyone not wearing goalie skates. 6+ minutes into the 3rd.

Kesselring with a nice breakup on the PK. And they kill that one off.

No data. Guess they want to see how Georgiev does through a full 60 having faced adversity.

And Detroit will go back on the PP again. Doan with the roughing call. Georgiev still between the pipes.

Hate the new electric rates that got approved fairly recently. Last month, 1/2 the bill was delivery charges. This month they're 60% of the bill. (Used to be more like 20% of the bill.) And NYS wants to force everybody to be 100% electric in the near future. New structures aren't going to be allowed to tap into the NG grid as of 2030. This rate structure is nucking futz.

Yeah, they watch what other teams do and try to emulate it, but it's clear they don't actually understand what the other teams do. Really believe they're trying to emulate Carolina's pressure PK, but Carolina doesn't pressure over the entire zone. They pressure when the opponent has limited options and they can then outnumber the puck carrier AND take away the limited options. And they get the goaltending that can cover for them when they oops it and let the puck get through to the puck carrier's teammates. The Sabres pressure when the other team has multiple options and they don't manage to take them all away typically. Just have this sneaking suspicion that if you ever get to talk to Wilford he'll proudly show you his new watch - it's a Rolodex. 😉

5-2 Copp.on a rebound.

And Dunne and some other Wing are the only 2 going to the box. Both for roughing. (And Chiarot is the Wing going to the box.)

Mrkta and Chariot giving each other rabbit punches to the face with the gloves on as another scrum goes on. This Mrkta kid is going to be fun.

It was hilarious this afternoon as NFL Network had Kyle Brandt on one of their shows and had him talking up how good those unis look. Pretty sure at one point he mentioned how "clean" they look. LOL. So, sure, they're paying his salary, he'll suck it up and say they look good, but pretty sure him saying they look "clean" was a FU to his bosses.

And Krebs to the box for something that happened in the post whistle scrum. ???

Not impressed w/ Quinn on this PP. 3 bad passes and 1 horribly telegraphed shot that went over the net.

And Appleton nearly got his 2nd shorty. Georgiev with a nice push across the crease to rob him.

And Bernard-Docker gives the Sabres PP a chance to get back into it again. Nice of him to still try to do his part. 😉

4-2. Seider.

Larkin won a battle in front against Metsa. Kind of a tough ask of the kid; but if you want to eventually get a look in the show, you've got to come through in those instances.

Larkin off the post and in. Wings back on top 3-2.

And the PP actually had good movement on it. Shocking.

2 goals on 7 shots total this game. And goalie really didn't have a chance on either one that got by him.

Doan w /the PP goal. 2-2.

What a stop by Georgiev. Cross ice pass from Larkin to Raymond and he came in clean on Georgiev.

STs is what cost them. Can't be giving up shorties. Even when you get the equalizer that same PP, those hurt. Pretty sure the Sabres PP is a net 0 through 7 periods.
