Nitro60 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Hall is having a shaky game in the offensive end Quote
DarthEbriate Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Oh Hall to Staal... great stop Quote
Huckleberry Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Linus was great on that PK Quote
Pimlach Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Borgen looking like an old style “stay at home” defenseman. Blocking shots. 2 Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted February 20, 2021 Author Report Posted February 20, 2021 Good period. If we get the PPs we can really take hold of this game 1 Quote
matter2003 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) I have never seen a team consistently over a period of years hit goalies directly in the chest or pads with shots from point blank range as much as I have with the Sabres. It's almost impossible to be that bad at scoring from those areas for this amount of time as they have. Edited February 20, 2021 by matter2003 Quote

DarthEbriate Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 2 PKs and leading 12-8 in shots. And the Devils put up a stat late-ish in the period. The Sabres had blocked 10 shots to the Devils 0. So... we're shooting from closer and in the slot. We're getting shots through from further out. Just gotta capitalize on some of the rebounds. 2 Quote
Brawndo Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 McCabe made a nice save on the PK Quote
Scottysabres Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 They looked much more composed. Could this be the start of a run? I hope so. Quote

The goalies are amazingly fast and so good at staying calm and square that anything not labeled for a corner is in their chest. There was a fantastic flurry between WPG-VAN last night and a beautiful pass, beautiful shot... and then a rebound right to the far side. Tap-in with the goalie on the other side of the cage. 20 years ago only Hasek makes that save with any regularity. Nope. Goalie just calmly pushed back across and didn't overcommit... right in the chest. Quote
DarthEbriate Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Good drive to the net by Staal for the screened goal. Cozens was also there. Hall-Staal-Cozens should be fine. Quote

Based on the Sabres ridiculously low shooting percentage over several years I will say the Sabres are consistently worse than other teams. 1 Quote

Huckleberry Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Linus had another great save 🙂 Quote
DarthEbriate Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 A couple good shifts in their zone... but the first shift (Eakin line) was tenacity and created chances. The second line (Eichel's) had one rush chance with Montour/Olofsson and then just played the perimeter. 1 Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted February 20, 2021 Author Report Posted February 20, 2021 Hall, Staal and Cozens are playing better than Sam, Jack and Ollie right now 2 1 Quote
