Risto on the other hand......yea, guilty of believing he is better than he actually is. But, I stand by my page 1 post, Buffalo 4, SJ 2 ? A literal explosion?

Hawerchuk Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 It’s early but screw it, Fire Housley. He has zero emotion behind the bench. Get a real veteran HC in there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I think Hutton and our team's play gives us a better chance than we may have had in the past. I really did like this period, most of them are dialed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him distributing the puck on the PP, but I'm not sure where the best place to do that from would be, for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's where he belongs; same spot Giroux and plenty of others captain the PP from. Not his fault 2 of the others on PP1 have been useless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would Kyle ever get healthy scratched for it? Not trying to jump on Kyle, but I do wonder if Phil would be consistent in situations like this. Considering Phil has kept him on PP1, I doubt he’s considering scratching him. He seems to have a crush on him like McD has with Peterman.

Randall Flagg Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Eichel's shot on the PP hits enough that teams have to account for it, and in theory opens up the other side of the ice. If only we had a nifty left shot defenseman to stick over in that space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 So, backhand blind pass from Jack in the O zone to the sharks The stupid Rasmus drop pass on the PP with absolutley zero momentum The awful PK letting Karlsson walk right in, followed by a nearly anemic PP, with okposo still on it. Fumbled passes all over. I'm not quite as impressed by these guys as some, I'm not loving the penalty fest either, they need to get their heads outta their @sses and play nhl hockey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Minute 1: Sharks press early, and again after a Buffalo change. Despite modest chances by Sheary and Eichel and a Sobotka hit on E. Kane, slight advantage to SJ, who established themselves in Buffalo territory in the very early going. Minute 2: A little pressure by the Sabres in the first 30 seconds is ended by Karlsson's rush and Okposo's double minor. Jaws music playing is enough to tilt this minute to the Sharks. Minute 3: Sabres odd-man rush shorthanded, time-sapping scrum and late clear. Edge to Buffalo. Minute 4: All San Jose, with pressure before and after their goal. Minute 5: See Minute 4, except a determined Eichel, a pinching Beaulieu and a strong shift by 29-71-28 made it not as one-sided. Minute 6: Pominville's turnover ends his line's pressure, and the Sabres head back to the box. Sharks. Minute 7: Strong penalty killing minute with a Sobotka clear and a pair of Beaulieu highlights (steal and clear; clear). Sabres get the nod here. Minute 8: All SJ before a Bogo clear, Sabres avoid going down 3-0 and then Sharks take a penalty. Buffalo, again! Minute 9: Sabres give the puck away with their goalie pulled, not a good omen for the minute. SJ clears x2, and Risto's shot is blocked and easily cleared. San Jose. Minute 10: Dahlin covers up Chi Chi's mistake. Peeper ends. Uh, SJ? Sharks win 7 minutes, Sabres 3. First minute is Exhibit A in the case against the Sabres being ready to play. It wasn't egregious though, but every time they made a positive play or two, they gave it back with penalties. The PK after going down 2-0 seemed to right their ship, but then they couldn't cut the lead in half with their own power play. McCabe shoving Pavelski out of the way comically after the Sharks had scored was the defining moment of the first 10: too little, too late, ineffective. haha that took me the whole intermission.
