GDT: Buffalo @ Dallas, 8:30 pm est, 1-26-2017

[Randall Flagg]

This team has lost more 2 goal leads playing in a shell than it has held onto. 

[TrueBlueGED]

This team still isn't where we want them to be. Still can't bother to show up for big games. 32 to 10 shots on goal right now. ###### pathetic. 

 

(doing this with jinx hopes, but still furious)

 

Our struggles against possession teams continues. Though your jinx sorta worked :lol:

[NowDoYouBelieve]

Dallas goaltending always makes things interesting

 

Dallas fans are feeling more moribund than we are right now.  They're wondering how their team can utterly dominate and only be up by a goal.

[Huckleberry]

4  -  3 behind heading into third after being outshot 33 - 11.   We got them right where we want them :P

 

and I'm really of to bed now :D

 

hah sorry 3 - 3 , damn nhl.com was being weird and back to 4 - 3 it is :p

Sauve/Edwards won a vezina, short side goal against #1 and #2, not so much

SOG. Dallas 34, Buffalo 11. WTF

That's an NHL online video game stat. A vet playing a noob. Pure craziness.

[jsb]

Kane, with 3 points, ROR and Jack only 3 guys to show up today. We need to own the third period come on boys!!! Doohickie you at the game???

Havent seen much from ROR's line. Kulikov has looked good. Risto had been fine but he could use a weekend off

[Randall Flagg]

A summary of our two-goal leads this season: 
2-0 in Edmonton: Given up, but game won.

2-0 (and 3-0) in Philadelphia: Given up, game lost.

2-0 (and 3-0) against Florida: game won.
2-0 in Winnipeg: game won.

3-1 versus Calgary: game won.

2-0 versus Edmonton: given up, but game won.

5-3 versus LA: game won, though the two-goal lead wasn't until pretty late. Not sure it falls in the same category.

3-1 at Detroit: given up, but game won.

2-0 versus Boston: given up, game lost.

2-0 versus Rangers: game won.

2-0 versus Flyers: game won.

2-0 versus Stars: game won.

2-0 at Toronto: game lost.

2-0 at Dallas. game lost.

We've given up seven two goal leads, managed to still win 3 of them.

Seven out of fourteen two goal leads have been surrendered. 

50% chance we can keep a two goal lead.

Let them keep playing for ######'s sake. What you do doesn't work.

Stay positive Randall we got this

[WildCard]

That's a clear sign of bad coaching

[bunomatic]

Credit due to you guys out east that are staying up for this crap. Props to you Modo if you're hanging in there.

[DarthEbriate]

2-0 at Dallas, game not over yet. While it's messy, we could be in for another firewagon third and victory. There's always hope.

What's this about knowledge and defense? Use the Moulson for attack!

[Tondas]

Jack is really starting to figure this game out.

[GoPre]

Isn't a 2 goal lead in the NHL considered the unsafest 2 score lead in professional sports?

[Sabel79]

This team has lost more 2 goal leads playing in a shell than it has held onto.

 

Hilariously enough they didn't even go into Alamo mode until it was tied. you Disco.

 

Backup goalies will always remind you why they're backup goalies if you play them enough. Anders can take a seat after the break, thanks.

 

How 'bout another couple goals. In the other team's net, please.

[Mustache of God]

Brad May is unwatchable. Guy needs to relax when he speaks.

[ct fab]

Maybe the zebra's will grant us a PP?

[Randall Flagg]

You'd think we'd get some even-up calls, but I'm not feeling it coming tonight. And you know that Dallas is going to hook and interfere egregiously with 2 minutes left, and they won't be called because of the "game situation".

[TrueBlueGED]

That's a clear sign of bad coaching

 

I hate Bylsma as much as anyone, but honestly, all teams do this. I maintain that anyone who can legitimately solve score effects for both coaches and players will one day be rich.

[Brawndo]

That's two plays I thought they scored on

[Sabel79]

Of course this will be the one period all year where a Stars goalie plays like he knows what he's doing...

[Randall Flagg]

I hate Bylsma as much as anyone, but honestly, all teams do this. I maintain that anyone who can legitimately solve score effects for both coaches and players will one day be rich.

Are other teams' 2-0 surrenders a literal coin flip like ours? I'm legitimately asking.

[WildCard]

I hate Bylsma as much as anyone, but honestly, all teams do this. I maintain that anyone who can legitimately solve score effects for both coaches and players will one day be rich.

I challenge you to name one team in the last 10 years that gives up this many 2 goal leads

[sodbuster]

Ahh, two very crisp tape to endboards passes.
