Sabres power play.

We're chasing them this period so far. Don't like that...

Pavelski all alone in front of the net...

It seems like TNT misses the net with like 70% of his shots this year.

I'm usually lamenting their piss poor first period effort, so I'm actually somewhat encouraged despite the goal deficit. Need to be more deliberate with these scoring chances. Get some butts in front of Oettinger.

I don't think that's it. Defensemen often develop slowly, and I don't think he's getting the coaching he needs. He was really good for big chunks of last season, he's just regressed badly this year...like much of this team.

Rayzor looks like he's going to try to sell me a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero.

Power is a mess right now.

JFC, left Hintz all alone in front of the net. Fortunately UPL stones him.

Getting prime chances but these guys either fire buckshot or right into Oettinger.

Feels like we've possessed the puck for 90% of this period but nothing to show for it.

Solid energy/effort so far, we're getting goalied. Keep up the pressure.

BALLS

I don't dislike this team. I am wildly disappointed with the results thus far and think that lays more at the feet of the coach and gm than the team itself.

One dick kick after another this season. It's been a very rough 13 years, but I'd argue none worse than this relative expectations. I'm just ready for it to be over.

Love Lindy, but no thanks.

Not Quinn...

PETERKA

I want to say this is an easy win, but given the way this season has been going I fully expect this to be a slog, even possibly a loss.

Why can't they play like this more regularly???

Well I'll be a jelly donut.

Another largely garbage first period where they make dumb mistakes, and just kind of skate around with no discernible purpose. Huzzah. Didn't Meatballs say we were going back to the run and gun style a few weeks back? At least that was fun to watch.
