BillsFan4 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I ******* hate playing Florida. For whatever reason, they just seem to have Buffalo’s number. A loss tonight would be 7 straight to the Panthers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Aggravating loss. Buffalo looked like the better team most game. They outplayed them the first 2 periods for sure. Buffalo just couldn’t capitalize on any of their scoring chances. They always struggle against Luongo... Florida, for whatever reason, just seems to be Buffalo’s kryptonite. The game really seemed to turn after that penalty shot. It just seemed to really deflate Buffalo. Rob Ray even said guys were hanging their heads on the bench after that. I didnt fully agree that Florida should have been awarded a penalty shot. I felt that the Florida player still got a scoring chance and a penalty shot is supposed to be called to restore a scoring chance. So I kind of felt that it should have just been a 2 minute penalty. Oh well. Onto the next one. 14 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: I have no idea what Berglund is worth but Hopefully they don’t have to take back a contract of equal length... Personally, Id love it if they could send him to Pittsburgh for Brassard. Brassard just hasn’t fit in with the Pens, for whatever reason. It it would give a Pittsburgh their 3rd line center and it would give buffalo a 2nd line center for this season (then Brassard is a UFA). Maybe they could bring him back on a reasonable deal, but if not at least it would fill the 2C gap for this season and hopefully add some secondary scoring. I doubt Pittsburgh is willing to take on 4 years of Berglund though. 2 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: I can’t wait until he retires! lol He’s 39 and plauged with injuries. It can’t be That far off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) FINAL: Panthers 5 - Sabres 2 Florida scores four unanswered goals in the third period to top Buffalo. FINAL STATS/LEXUS POSTGAME REPORT Full Play By Play Sabres Ice Time Post-Game Report: 12/18 vs. Florida Final Score 1st 2nd 3rd OT SO Final SOG Panthers (13-13-6) 0 1 4 – – 5 36 Sabres (20-10-5) 1 1 0 – – 2 32 Game Summary Event Summary Top Notes With two points (1+1) tonight, Jeff Skinner has extended his point streak to seven games (5+4). In his last seven games against the Panthers, Skinner has eight points (6+2). Skinner’s goal was his 25th of the campaign in the team’s 35th game of the season. According to the NHL, Alexander Mogilny (34th team game in 1992-93) is the only player in Sabres history to score 25 before the team’s 35th game of the season. Before Skinner tonight, three other Sabres had scored their 25th goal in the team’s 35th game of the season: Rick Martin (1973-74), Gilbert Perreault (1977-78) and Thomas Vanek (2008-09). Sam Reinhart’s assists tonight extended his point streak to 11 games (5+13). It’s the second-longest active streak in the NHL this season and the Sabres’ longest since Jack Eichel’s 11-game streak from Feb. 14 to March 7, 2017. Jack Eichel’s assist extended his point streak to seven games (9+5). Rasmus Ristolainen’s goal gave him 11 points (2+9) in his last 11 home games. Alexander Barkov’s power-play goal ended the Sabres’ penalty killing streak at 20 consecutive kills. It was the team’s best such streak since they killed 23 in a row from Jan. 10 to 25, 2016.

Take a 5 if ya have too, needs to be done That play was a rat being a rat. Skinner has always been a guy who draws penalties and he did exactly what he has always done. There's no need for retaliation when a guy weakly hugs your goal scorers head for a few seconds. If that's what we call running someone today, the game really has become soft. But then again, there's no need to run someone for tripping your star player either, but that's how Florida responded for some unknown reason. The whole thing really was insignificant in this game. This was a game where a team quit after a fluky penalty shot goal a period after the so called hit. They folded the same way the did against Philly. Hopefully we don't run into too many more games against last place teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 12 hours ago, plenzmd1 said: Ran Skinner Yandle sent a message to the irritating Skinner who was involved with a teammate who got hurt. The Florida player wasn't dirty or out to hurt the rat like player. He simply picked him up and threw him to the ground. The bigger player didn't throw any punches and beat on the smaller and weaker player. I'm against fighting in hockey. But in this case it was done with honor and class. The message was sent and the game moved on. As someone else keenly noted after the two fluke goals that Hutton let in the Sabres seemed deflated and the Panthers were energized. And the outcome reflected that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great one wasn't a guy out there trying to draw penalties. Throw a little extra into a check on Yandle at some point, fine, but I'm not hunting him down and taking his head off based on what may as well have been a pillow fight.
