GDT#59 Caps at Sabers at 3pm Feb 19

[alta]

So penalties over ride goals I guess? Cause if Buffalo had scored, while awaiting a review, it would of came off the board, no?  But Kuz stays in the box? Odd. NHL.

yes, if sabers scored it wouldn't have counted. I have seen that before, couldn't tell you what game thou

still stupid, but this is the NHL

Wow, only 17 saves by Grubs so far. How many did Holts have after 2 in Chitown?

At least theres an actual rule and they didn't just make it up.. Glad we didn't give it back on the PP. Anywho, 20 minutes to go!  lol

Not enough.   (straight face)

   You dont like Ristolainen?

He started the game with a cheap high hit to OV, wanna bet what the call would've been if Willy had done that?

clearly, but the question was intendeded to point out the lack of D the other day

   I think it was mid 30s.  I'm actually not happy that Grubauer got this game and Holtby will probably get lit up by Tampa tomorrow. That will be great for his confidence. I really hope people dont jump on the Grubauer bandwagon if he wins this game. He has done absolutely nothing so far. The Sabres have been that bad.

He is the only guy on the Sabres I would want. Big tough and plays with an edge. And he is young. I'd take him for Carlson.

Holts had 27 saves last game, out of 33 shots which is about average for a full game

I don't understand your dislike for Grubs.      [size=78%]I thinks he's done a pretty good job for us so far.[/size]
Hardly a "bandwagon" thing.

   I dont dislike Grubauer. I dont think he is good enough technically to be a quality starter. He is an adequate backup.

Sabres comms are pretty good.

   Did you see what the high scoring chances were after the second period. I think the Caps gave up 24 high danger chances after 2 periods. I never seen that many high danger chances before.

Maybe it's just the way you talk about him - again - that makes me think that...?   
[size=78%]Personally I think he's a better than average second string goalie.   *What's with the script sizw again?)[/size]

   He is a decent backup. I dont think he is going to be a starter. If he was that good Vegas would have taken him. I rank him around the same as Neurvirth.

   I just realized Carlson was credited with the 2nd goal. A goal and an assist and a plus 2 for Carlson.

[Surreylily]

How was that not a penalty?  Willy just got sucker-punched an the back of his head!

Another 3rd period where we sit back and get shelled. One goal and we are in trouble.
