SABRES 0311

It’s funny if any of these guys want out. They’re the ones on the ice giving pucks away, shooting it right into the goalie’s chest, not skating hard, missing coverage, and so on. If any player besides Dahlin and Lyon want to see the problem they should look in the mirror.

A shot into what? The wall of bodies and sticks between him and the net? We all comment about when Tage will want out but he’s supposed to be one of the guys leading by example. Without his above average shot he does not bring a lot to the table this season.

Good job Tage. Stand there like a pylon until the puck gets knocked off your stick.

Like I said. Puck carrier shoots off the rush while other guys go to the net.

Replace Glatt with TNT, Tuch, and Quinn.

Watch Bryson get the only goal.

Thompson finally gets on the scoresheet.

Thompson peppering Swayman’s chest. Nothing dangerous. That and he makes terrible passing decisions. No drive from this player to begin the season.

Next is Colorado.

That goal happens because of Thompson. He had the puck behind the net with almost no pressure and decided to make a blind reverse pass that goes to BOS in the neutral zone. They take possession and get some puck luck.

Yeah it is weird. They just seem like they can’t be bothered to put in the effort. Not all of them but just enough.

They’re so nonchalant with the puck leading to so many turnovers. No motivation with some of these guys.

Thompson doesn’t give a ****

I think for the second they need to have the puck carrier shot low while the other two go hard to the net. Trying to set up isn’t working so off the rush might be the best bet.

Thompson looks like he stops skating as soon as they make OZone entry. I haven’t noticed Tuch other than his half assed deke attempt in the PK.

And right a way Marty and Duffer using line combos as an excuse. Yes men.

No goalie would. Completely unfair how this team is responding to their goalie playing well.

I mean Lyon is still above .900 in this game. Can’t keep giving up so many shots.

Something tells me if UPL was in net it would 2-0. 3-0 or 4-0 with Levi. Just a feeling.

Through 13 minutes.

Danforth is a decent PKer.

So far: Muel actually looks good. He and Timmins seem to be a good pair. Krebs and Doan look like they have chemistry. Lyon is doing well again especially against these high danger chsnces. Kulich looks more engaged. Tuch and Thompson are unnoticeable.

He made it two periods so there’s that.

I’d rather see Helenius in this game than Geertsen. See what the kid can do in a limited role. I don’t see what value Geertsen adds in this matchup.
