thewookie1 Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 We were besieged and our team looked absolutely worn out most of the 2nd and half the 3rd but seemingly woke up in late in the 3rd to help Hutton secure the goose-egg. A win is a win however and 6-1-1 is nothing to scoff at. I honestly cannot say I have ever seen so many missed shots by a team as the Kings did tonight. It was like they all were stricken with near-sightedness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Interesting. All 6 D played on special teams. Joker and Risto played on both. Dahlin and Miller played on the PP. Scandy and McCabe played on the PK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyhound Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) It was like they went out, put a few goals on the board, and then spent the rest of the game making a mess and disrupting everything. Weird Game. Not much structure; certainly not a polished performance, but they won. Big win, especially after the physical loss.

pi2000 Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 92 shot attempts for the Kings. Ninety. Two. That said, I dont think they had any shots on net the final 5-7 minutes or so... progress? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Real statement game by Hutton; he’s been very good so far, but now he’s sent a strong message to his teammates that if they have a rough one, he’s got their back. He’s leading the league in wins and shutouts and his SP and GAA is right there among the starters. His best performance as a Sabre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Alright, here's the plan. Let the Islanders play one more game and win, so they jump Toronto. Then kill the season right here, and get Toronto in here for round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 The Todd McLellan postgame is worth a watch. Really tears into his own players, calling out some as stupid, and rips Kovalchuck for shooting wide and taking penalties. The players must hate him.

SABRES 0311 Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Ok Sabrespacers take tomorrow off but we are back at it on Saturday. Let’s make sure we have crisp posts and pepper other posters with quality emojis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 1st win of the season that felt like the 10 game streak. Not sure what has changed, but that is 2 very poor 2nd periods after 6 strong ones. Hopefully Krueger and crew figures out how to fix that, and soon. I get that some here want Skinner moving into Eichel's line, but RK has put that line out against the other team's top line consistently (and opposing coaches have gone along with that plan as well when they have the last change) and sliding Jeff up to that line won't appreciably change results of going against Barkov's and Kopitar and Crosby and ... nearly as much as getting Jack's line out against lesser lines. Krueger needs to figure out how to get Eichel's line out against weaker lines more often. When they aren't going out against the Kopitar's and Barkov's they have shifts of serious domination. That will improve results (as if 6-1-1 has a lot of room for improvement) more than forcing Skinner against the other team's top line and expecting Olofsson to do what Skinner has done on the 2nd line would do IMHO.

PerreaultForever Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Well the Kings clearly are not a very good hockey team but we played a solid conservative road victory. Hats off to the coaches and/or leadership group who got the team back to basics, simplified the game, and settled back into a successful disciplined style of play after the mess the night before. You know, good teams often beat bad teams when the top lines cancel each other out but the depth comes through and the lower lines dominate. Wasn't it refreshing to see that tonight, that was us not them. Their 4th line simply could not compete. Sheary much better than ERod. Hutton playing really good, but that is also because he simply plays better behind a team that clears the rebound, opens his sight lines and backchecks well (like he had in St. Louis). I think with this style of play he will have a really really good year. Mitts now being developed the way he should have been developed last year. We are just a real hockey team again, what more can you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
