[Stads]

For better or worse, Timmins has his fingerprints all over this game

Sabres came alive with 5 minutes left.

Need a score.

Just think if they actually played like that for previous 35 minutes 

[DarthEbriate]

Refs are allowing every bit of grabbing, stick holding, slashing, and interference that the Pens can muster.

Good.

The Sabres need to be able to work through the garbage and score anyway. They've been skating and competing the last few minutes now that they know they're not getting any calls.

Karlsson slashed the stick out of Quinn's hands

If that happened to Saint Sydney: 5 minute major

Great shift by the 4th line.

Back to back by the 4th.  Love to know how many shots came with their shifts b/c I think they had one until half way through.  Unacceptable lethargy.

I don't understand why dragging the puck behind you over the blue line isn't offside?

Great set of shifts, Pens continue to get away with anything they want

Sabres have 0 (ZERO) cred. This is what we get.

Just get through this period without UPL allowing another one.

Yeah, the Sabres need to score, but this almost 'feels' like where UPL will let them down.

UPL has played pretty well, imo.

Some of you guys just can’t stand the guy, so give him no chance.

He’s our goalie tonight. Why not root for him.

The UPL hate is getting old.

Player in control of puck can do so.

[HumanSlinky39]

Somehow we've outshot them. Both teams look like *****.

FFS they are! Why do you think Crosby and Malkin only have one SOG each this game?

Why? Because everyone wants to be "right."

[Doohickie]

The Sabres need to SHOOT THE FREAKIN PUCK.

Looks like *****. Translation: defensive battle

[thewookie1]

Feels like the clutching and grabbing only helps Pittsburgh since they are the more savvy but older roster.

Its not getting old when he has under a .900 save percentage this year, coming off of a season where he was one of the worst goalies in the league last year.

You want him to not get any criticism? Start playing like a #1 goalie, which he was declared to be last year and is getting paid close to being on.  One good, game, one bad game, a few good saves, then a couple softies....doesn't cut it for me and he's going to get criticized until he gets better on a consistent basis.

[DarthEbriate]

One period remains. Next goal wins, most likely.

The 2-on-1 where Östlund passed up the shot was maddening.

Up till the last 5 minutes of the second period the had 1 SOG. Cool that they’re playing defense but when they spend 15-20 minutes in their own zone, sorta hard to win

Sabres have 1 SOG to Penguins 8 this period. The Penguins are in total control 

Sabres 12 Pens 11.

Or, until he's doing his sloppy $hit for somebody else 😃

Harder to win when you let Malkin and Crosby light you up. Sorry but sometimes you have to focus in D.

They finally got zone time, in the last 5 minutes of the period and it’s STILL 1-0. We’ll see if it continues into the third.
