Crusader1969 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 See my problem with the save is again loom how over committed he is. He's so out of position that he's forced to make a miracle save. It reminds me of what Johnson had to do all last year seriously, how do you manage to even manage to get yourself out of bed in the morning? I couldn't imagine being so negative.

Randall Flagg Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Tampa is going to fall behind us after they lose tonight. Into last place in the Atlantic. I wonder what's up, besides their brutal defense and injured star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I can't remember hearing Casey Nelson's name called at all tonight. That's probably a good thing. With 3 AHLers on the blue line, DD managed to distribute ice time pretty well (and by that, I mean he kept Risto under 30 minutes, even if just barely): Risto: 29:36 Bogo: 25:12 (game winning goal) Franson: 21:28 (tying goal) Fedun: 18:08 Falk: 12:47 Nelson: 9:33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODO Hockey Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Great game. Best I've seen all season. Bailey tearing up the A since his return to boot Wish you would have seen last nights game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 So let me get this straight, I can't take anything but the positives away from a win? It's a freaking hockey opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 It's fun to read the GDTs after the game just to see all the negativity people have early on when things don't go a certain way and then the Sabres still win. For back to back games I thought they did rather well and they had their opportunities. It wasn't a pretty game but they come away with 2 points and find a way to win using a few different players (Franson, Bogosian). I'll take it. All-star break is coming up.. Ristolainen will get his rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Did blue off himself after the BOGO winner? Nah, jumping up on the rush like that is the one thing he does well! He should do it more! Look, if Randall freaking Flagg is being positive after a game, you're not allowed to be negative. Maybe you've been hacked.

LTS Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Tampa is going to fall behind us after they lose tonight. Into last place in the Atlantic. I wonder what's up, besides their brutal defense and injured star. It's almost as if losing a star player is enough to make a team not be as good as it could have been and fall to the basement.... despite all the talent the Lightning have. So let me get this straight, I can't take anything but the positives away from a win? It's a freaking hockey opinion I've no problem with you wanting to find the negatives but I wholeheartedly disagree with your assessment that Lehner was out of position. He was forced to commit to the original shooter and had he not then the more likely outcome of that play is that there is no pass and instead it's a goal. The glaring issue is that Evander Kane is standing IN the crease which clearly indicates he is not where he should be and creates the attack scenario in the first place. So Lehner made a great save. Someone compared it to Hasek who made saves like that routinely and rather than agree you tell people not to compare him to Hasek. Well, that save was Hasek like. It doesn't mean he's as good as him just that he made a great save. At least that's my take of the situation.... you do seem to want to be negative to be negative. It's your choice but at least understand that that's how people are seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Anyone praising Lehner tonight should stop. He was sloppy and his "big saves" were a product of bad rebound control and positioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 They have a lot of forward talent, but that blue line after Hedman and Stralman is a mess. Also, their coach is on the hot seat. And they still are scoring at rates much much higher than tank teams. :P Also, I wasn't always this negative! I predicted that we'd win more playoff games than the blackhawks this season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Zemgus is playing much better hockey recently. I think it's time to put Carrier where Foligno is too. Edited January 22, 2017 by Randall Flagg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastajoe Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I've said for awhile that Zemgus was being underutilized and a better all around player than Larsson. Now he's getting a chance to prove it to DD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustache of God Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Just caught the highlights. Holy Jesus was RJ in fine form tonight! Looked like a great goaltending bout on both sides and I'm happy to see two wins in a row (despite giving up points to divisional teams in OT).

I had a different take on a bad play but a great save. Even said it was the best save I've ever seen.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) What's with all the negative waves in here tonight? Stop it with them negative waves. The Sabres played very well and they beat a very good team, with a stellar goaler, in their own building. We really need to celebrate that. Dare I say that our coach out coached their coach? Is that a thing? My strategery paid off for the second game in a row. :flirt: EDIT: DAMN PHONE!!

thewookie1 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Great win, seems like this team is just young and going through the pains of such. Toronto may suck next year because of the Myers effect, laziness and other teams learning, for all we know :flirt: Eichel needs to learn how to tie up guys and play back to backs. Maybe its just the injury effecting stamina? Risto is not only a horse, but a Clydesdale with cybernetic enhancements :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
