GDT: Habs @ Sabres TNT

[DawgDad]

Habs might want to stop taking penalties.

Yep, they need to stay out of the box.

It seems like everybody on Buffalo has stepped up in the playoffs (except the PP). They remind me a lot of the 2019 Blues. I'd like to see how they handle a better team like Carolina, but Carolina looks so dominant I don't know if anybody except Colorado can stop them.

OK, at 4:09 to go in the 2nd period there is FINALLY a smidgen of physicality. I'm in my 70's, up to this point this has been BY FAR the SOFTEST playoff game I've ever seen. All the "hits" have been little bumps, no checks being finished. Montreal should sue their team for non-inspiration. Pathetic. Carolina will eat these guys for lunch.

Nice effort by Dach.

[Aesa]

Dach with a great 1 handed goal. 4 - 2 Sabres

That Dach goal was great. Tried to make the pass and salvaged it on his own.

I miss Panger and John Kelly and Bolduc
I’d trade Kyrou to have em back

[sdaltons]

Nice job, Sabres!


Now come on Ducks!!

[HighStick]

Buffalos my team in the East that I like to hate but watching Thompson is changing me into a fan. Still not a fan of Dahlin tho.

Why would hate Buffalo or Dahlin ?

They've just always been that team to me. I always hated the Yotes too. I also don't like Canadian teams. I didn't realize Dahlin was such an agitator. Everytime I watched a Sabres game he always seemed like he was getting pushed around or worked over but I can see how he's irritating to play against.

Buffalo just seems to have a lot more scoring prowess than Canadians. Canadians seem to be in a scoring slump slump I think. I don’t mind Montreal winning . It’s been quite a while..but the Sabres are due and it might be their years .like it was for us.

Now the Ducks have dominated in the 1st 5 min and the Ducks have shots and swarming on Carter Hart.
A 5 on 3 pp coming up for the Quacklings. Come on Duckies

[MiamiLaw]

I’ve seen better 5 on 3s out of the Blues…and that’s saying something

[sdaltons]

Ducks don't deserve the W

But that's a terrible goalie interference call

[JR1]

Olczyk would kiss the Golden showers (donkey) if he could.

[Russdv14]

No pp goals for either team.

And what is it about 5 on 3’s that a team starts skating and passing in slow motion and no Ovie type shooter to polish it off!!

I’ve watched a lot of the playoffs and I don’t see the finals being anything but Carolina and Colorado. Buffalo is a nice story but the power play has been brutal until tonight. They seem to go long periods of games without being any threat. Habs are fun but probably too young. Canes are a force in all aspects of the game.

In the west none of these other three teams are going to give the Avs a series. They are too good.

Good news is that for those of you still rooting for others I’m wrong about this stuff much more often than I’m right.

Sure the Av’s are but this is the playoffs and to quote the great Cosmo Kramer…

“what if there should be an unfortunate accident?"

[Russdv14]

The Ducks had a lot of wasted effort.
Torys will wake up the Knights for period 2.

Ducks needed a lucky goal, trying controlled passing and shots didn’t work,

So George is looking at the Avs and Canes in the finals, but I think they are beatable for 1 or 2 games, but unfortunately it’s 7 game series
