GAME DISCUSSION THREAD GDT: Buffalo at Philadelphia 11-21-13 at 7:00 PM EST

[Iron Crotch]

Playing "whack a mole" there. At least they whacked it in the net!

[Robviously]

Love seeing Myers crash the net.

[hockeyhound]

Leading after the 1st; Hallelujah!!!

[lalalalalaFontaine]

Possibly the best 1st period of the season. I like this NEW team!!! Love seeing McNabb back up. They could really have a blue line of thumpers in the not so distant future

McNabb, Zadorov, Ristolainen, Myers... all 6'3" or taller and all 210lbs or bigger. They all can wreck you like a stomach bug.

 

 

Anyone else notice how slow we are playing? I don't mean that in a negative I mean that we aren't really forcing stuff but we are holding the puck and making plays. Myers faked coming out of the zone twice before he did it and Stafford has been... good. Just something to keep and eye on.

I don't know about this being the best first, the Flyers had a big hand in making the Sabres look "good".

Well, we don't exactly have a lot to choose from, so lets just say top 3!! Baby steps!!

[NowDoYouBelieve]

Does anybody else think the definition for the assist stat could use improving when Leino's whiff counts as an assist? I mean, doesn't the stat lose meaning when its categorically the last two guys to touch the puck?

How many times this year have they led after one?

You can't ever find anything positive about a Sabres game can you? :P

A point for Ville in each of the last two games. I'm telling you... like a phoenix, he will rise from the ashes and have a "big" season!

:w00t:

 

Let's Go Buffalo!

[BuffaloBorn]

it's always been the last two to touch the puck get the assists. I can't really see it any other way

Slow down there Speed Racer

[LGR4GM]

brian duff needs to keep his stash forever.

[Iron Crotch]

Hartnell is a dirty bastard.

[TheMatrix31]

###### Scott Hartnell. ###### him.

 

Can't believe we didn't score on that 4 minute PP. Now they're gonna score. Watch.

[hockeyhound]

The Coach gets a penalty.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Holy penalties.... This lack of discipline will come back to hurt us

[Randall Flagg]

Dunleavy is good, I think.

[Iron Crotch]

The Flyers look like the Sabres from a few weeks ago. 5 on 3 and they're just passing it around endlessly.

[...]

Nice kill. Hopefully that changes the momentum.

Did you notice the Boo Birds?

[Iron Crotch]

A buck fifty-two of ice time for big John Scott so far.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Mccormick nailed that guy into the bench.... Nice
