Funny how this consistent "bad" play isn't garnering any negative buzz on the boards, but god help the sold out stadium in buffalo for cheering a loss (I do not condone BTW)

The Yotes don't have the skill to lock down a game. They gave been out shot 45-19

Apparently you can now kick the puck into the net.

Would be nice to have a generational talent that the NHl adores and intends to use as a marketing gold mine, that way you get the golden treatment...............Mcdavid

I was just gunna say....this will probably be the biggest difference between McDavid and Eichel.

Yikes 15 shots in less then 10 mins? I know they are bad and the pens are obvisouly way better, but man their 3rd period "play" needs to seriously need addressed by not only Tippett, but the media. Bad is bad, but man giving up a third of the opponents SOG in less than 10 mins is bad

Yeah. Crosby clearly kicked it in.

Teams play more offensively late in games. Especially when they are behind. Yotes and Sabres are two of the worst third period teams and it shows in the standings.

Easier to play more offensively aggressive when your on the PP for half the period as well

Goalie should be pulled for 2 mins. I like Roys style in the playoffs last year when he pulled the goalie with 3 left

They did. Scored the first goal with Smith on the bench. 25.1 left.

Too much beer I'm done for ever I think

Before I turned 40 I promised myself I would never drink again at least 20 times. Now I just realize how much I like it.

Pens win. Crosby's kicked in goal is the winner.

Well, I assume Smith will be needing a rest, so the bag clerk will be in net for them the next game. Should be a nail bitter all the way

Maybe. They don't play until Monday though. Sabres losing in regulation is very important tonight.

Sabres next 3 games are the easiest remaining on the schedule. If they get less than 4 points in those games I think they are home free.

That's what I say.

The isles can still miss the playoffs realistically. Giving us another top 14 pick and another lottery ball. One can hope

How ironic would it be if we win the lottery with the ball that the Islanders defer, after going balls deep for the playoffs, and we miss with our own after GMTM does everything in his power to "manage assets"??
