Yeah what was that? Was he hypnotized by the puck?

the drop pass that didn't drop was a thing of beauty

Still, take the body regardless. It's legal.

Ive never seen a team that has such trouble with the puck then the Sabres. How Eichel doesnt hold that puck in is beyond me. Then Reinhart trying the cute play at the blue line causes the 2 on 1.

I like that zone entry on the pp by dahlin, looked around and saw nothing and just took it all the way behind the net by himself

The wheels are coming off here

this is a poopshow im going to bed

On the PP?

He took the pass and gave the goalie a clear look at the shooter. That's textbook 2-on-1

at least they are ready to play... feels exactly like last year...

Oh I thought he had help in close that would have allowed it. I'll take your word rather than rewind the dvr.

the 2 on 1 was fine, back pass was a howler

Housley has a lot of tools in his shed right now. Should be interesting to see if he can give the right ice time to guys to gain some momentum back. It don't have to be an Eichel/Reinhart show.

i lied. love skinners effort on that shift. shows hes pissed.

Mittlestadt almost had his first there

Feisty Mittelstadt i love it

We will be good tomorrow.

Middlestat is not NHL ready, too many shots given up, AGAIN, defense is horrible and offense isn't doing squat. Housley is so emotionless......pieces are there, but not being utilized appropriately. Yes, it's early in the season, but the song remains the same. Hutton the only bright spot so far. The only reason Buffalo is only down by 2.

Mittelstadt is better than his teammates as far as giving up shots.

Edit: Coming into tonight he also hasn't been on the ice for a goal against.

Looks fine. Line is starting to click. Okposo playing well

agree on the former, not the latter. Okposo this year has just been that spin way up on the half wall forcing himself to the point where he can make a low percentage pass, dump or turnover.

He's fine. Scoring that goal against slovakia was the worst thing to happen to him. Day after Buffalo faithful were comparing him to Eichel.

Didn't mean HE was giving up too many shots, meant the team as a whole.

Ah, gotcha, like a list, thought you were saying he was.

The whole tournament set expectations sky high and the fact it was in Buffalo made it even more so.
