GDT: Buffalo @ Vancouver, 10:00 pm est, 12/7/2015

[Doohickie]

After that, Moulson should never get another shootout attempt.

[SabresBillsFan]

Jack's some things to learn.

He needs to turn in on more and use that speed. Like I said before he leaves you wanting more

[Iron Crotch]

So, the positives from this game were.... uh... none.  It was bad.  All bad.

 

 

G'night all.

[Randall Flagg]

Hey now. He has no defensive game to speak of, but let's not get carried away here.

I mean, he still has 9 goals on pure skill alone. What's that mean for when he actually learns how to play at this level?

[Doohickie]

Hey.... not a bad thread length for a late game.  Good job, Sabrespacers.

[MODO Hockey]

Nothing comes easy i guess, god .. coach needs to mix some shait up.

Maybe Lehner can be the turn around! 

[WildCard]

The kid will be fine, he's in his first rut, he'll get out of it. 

 

I expect some big lineup changes next game. 

[Tondas]

G'night all.

 

I thought Sam and McGinn played well. 

[pastajoe]

The D is missing Pysyk's steady game and breakout passing.

It means good things! Positive thoughts! I like it.

 

Honestly though I think his game really would benefit from some time on the wing to lessen the defensive responsibilities. I forgot who proposed it a few games back, but I'm on board with a McGinn-Girgensons-Eichel line for a little bit.

 

Hey.... not a bad thread length for a late game.  Good job, Sabrespacers.

 

Ted Nolan would salute our compete.

[Doohickie]

They were looking pretty good a few games ago, now they can't put two passes together.  Ugh.

[TrueBlueGED]

The D is missing Pysyk's steady game and breakout passing.

 

Absolutely. Hard to generate offense when you can't get a good breakout.

[WildCard]

The D is missing Pysyk's steady game and breakout passing.

I think we're all starting to realize the impact of Pysyk, not only by addition but by addition via subtraction of Carlo/Weber as well. Plus McCabe seems to play much better with him than Bogo, then again, Carlos was playing much better without Bogo as well. For as big of a dude Bogo is, he sure plays like a a lot 

[hockeyhound]

Its almost over

Till next time, Let's Go Buffalo!

Watching Bogosian, you can so clearly see all of the shortcomings that Winnipeg fans bitched about regularly. 

[MODO Hockey]

Crap .. 

 

On to the next game, Chad Johnsson in goal and maybe a win! looks like its the outcome of switching these goalies last 12 games

[TrueBlueGED]

We honestly had more shots than the Canucks? Not in a million years would I have guessed that. We were so lousy, I think that says more about Vancouver than it does us.

[Tondas]

Still prefer Bogo to Myers.  And I was a Myers fan.

[WildCard]

Definitely. He's nowhere near a top pairing guy, and probably the support guy on a 2nd pair. He brings no offense, and if his physicality and net clearing abilities are supposedly his strengths, then he is up. Dude is the biggest pylon I've ever seen when it comes to stopping the pass in front of the net. He should be winning board battles with regularity and hitting guys hard as they enter the zone, but instead all he's doing is backing up and then turning the puck over

Did not see the actuall game, has just been following it trough you guys and nhl.com, such a sad story regardning shots on goal vs actuall play. 

[WildCard]

Still prefer Bogo to Myers.  And I was a Myers fan.

There is nothing on this planet that could make me want Myers back

[MODO Hockey]

How many of the goals was on Ullmark alone? 

[TrueBlueGED]

Definitely. He's nowhere near a top pairing guy, and probably the support guy on a 2nd pair. He brings no offense, and if his physicality and net clearing abilities are supposedly his strengths, then he is ###### up.

He should be winning board battles with regularity and hitting guys hard as they enter the zone, but instead all he's doing is backing up and then turning the puck over

 

I've been thinking on this and back to some of Bylsma's statements in the offseason about how he feels the hardest thing on a defenseman is to get him to turn around and chase the puck. Is it possible he's coaching these guys to back off to prevent forwards from getting the puck behind them and making them chase?

[Tondas]

How many of the goals was on Ullmark alone? 

 

I'd say one and a half.

[WildCard]

How many of the goals was on Ullmark alone? 

I only saw 4 of them, I would say about 1.5, with either 1-2 depending on how harsh you really want to be on the guy.
