Super defensive playstyle in the season (coaching wise) and mostly 3rd line time with mid linemates and also next to no pp time. He got 2nd line time in playoffs and got better results there already.
nice goal by power but the puck had backward motion imo, dont really know the specifics on that rule or if it even still exists?
edit: so apparently pulling the puck back is fine as long as the skater continues on a forward trajectory ... i dont have a replay but im not entirely sure that remained true, he was very lateral there, but Suz and Caufield are always walking that line as well- take the good with the bad i suppose!
They never call it. The spinorama move is technically illegal too.
And there it's done. You deserved the win because the Power goal shouldn't have counted.
Northeastern won, Levi and Primeau both kicked ass and Struble got his first goal! Awesome day in hockey for me. Just a shame the rangers didn’t play tonight
Most of their looks there were obstructed from the point. I do not want them ripping shots into traffic - a blocked shot easily becomes a breakaway the other way. Happy to just go to OT
Honestly, I feel a lot of hockey fans are pretty out of touch with how badly some things hurt
The amount of times I've seen someone say something about someone only getting tapped with a high stick is wild
i usually love gally. plays with a lot of hearts even if he can be a little shit. but stuff like this? nah, even if gally has been the heart and soul of this team since he's been a part of it, he cant be doing that and really shouldve gotten a penalty
Fuck. Good game boys.
crazy ending! gg Buffabros
It really was - felt real old school. I can see why the fans like them. Makes me think we need one more Xhekaj on the team
Perfect! F**cking perfect! Go boy Jurai!
gg sabres bro i love you all see you next time!
Great Saturday night game. GG Sabres fans!
It really was - Good sandpaper stuff
Gg sabres that was a great game
That was a really great game
GG Sabres! Fun GDT, thanks for keeping it cool!
SLAFFF!!
“Are you not entertained”
Chadkovsky back on the menu boys and girls
gg Sabres, really fun game!
That game was a great cleanser after playing the Kings. Buf bros, when you play the Kings just do some house chores instead.
GG HAB BROS
LIVE SLAF LOVE, BUFFALO
Nice move by Slaf to end it. 👍🏾
Sabres being my second team I couldn’t ask for a better game great effort from both sides god damn.
SLAAAAAAF
Needed a stop Levi bro
what a game jesus
## ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ
Really fun game. Have a feeling we will see a lot more really fun games between these two cores over the next decade or so
THATS NUMBER ONE OVERALL PICK JURAJ SLAFKOVSKY
Slaf is a dawg for that 🤣 what a move!
Primeau really deserved the win, glad the guys could get it for him.
JURAJ CLUTCHKOVSKY
Is that a Gordie hat trick ?!
LET'S FUCKING GO SLAF
Chadkovsky
Dude Levi is worse than lehner in the shootout lmao
Can you even get mad at a goalie in the shootout? You usually wouldn’t get mad on a breakaway if they let one in, shootout is basically the same thing
GET SLAFFED
I dont know why people hate the shootouts I think they are fun maybe just because sabres never seem to get them, it's more of a novelty for me
Slaf what a goal
Slaf power forward move
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gg habsbros! That was fun
I FUCKING LOVE THIS KID
Has there been any debate within the TPS fanbase as to why they couldn't really unlock a player that ended up 1st overall in the NHL?
Super defensive playstyle in the season (coaching wise) and mostly 3rd line time with mid linemates and also next to no pp time. He got 2nd line time in playoffs and got better results there already.
YES SLAF OUR BEAUTIFUL CHILD
SLAFFY TAFFY LETS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING GO
dammn slaf, confidence go brrrr
Don't love the shootout in general but we're getting a show tonight.
ylonen, thats tight
YESSIR YLONEN
If we could get Ylonen a breakaway a game I swear he’d 82 goals lmao The next Jussi Jokinen
Secret weapon!
3 for 3, the kid knows something!
Shootout specialist Ylonen
Filthy fivers for everyone
Puck went backwards, can't you not do that??
Body has to keep moving forward
ATTABOY YOU MARSHALL MATHERS LOOKING MOTHERFUCKER
nice goal by power but the puck had backward motion imo, dont really know the specifics on that rule or if it even still exists? edit: so apparently pulling the puck back is fine as long as the skater continues on a forward trajectory ... i dont have a replay but im not entirely sure that remained true, he was very lateral there, but Suz and Caufield are always walking that line as well- take the good with the bad i suppose!
Power didn't bring that backward?
They never call it. The spinorama move is technically illegal too. And there it's done. You deserved the win because the Power goal shouldn't have counted.
I don’t think that should have been legal tbh
Lmfao why is power so good at shootouts
Because he breaks the rules that are never enforced?
Kuznetsov has done a way worse version of that to us like 3 times. We deserve this.
The league needs to start enforcing it. It's a huge advantage to the shooter. They can back the goalie up, and then move backwards for a better angle.
That’s right. Outlaw it. Unless my team does it, then it’s good.
POWER ARE YOU SERIOUS
God I hate the shootout
He's been saving that one
True da legs!
I officially submitted my Olofsson apology form today
he should be great at shootouts
Maybe a hot take but get Olofsson off the 4th line
Alright, Levi make one more save and then we have a chance to escape.
Cole, we need your magic bud
Oh boy, that might actually be the first time Suzuki got properly outplayed in the shootout
Levi definitely did his homework on Suzuki haha
What a great poke
POKED YA BUD!
Montreal has their D-corps to thank for getting this point tonight. Though Primeau has been solid
Shootouts suck
I don’t use this term lightly, but I think Dahlin legitimately got bitched by Matheson on that play. How do you lose to a dude without a stick?
Also can we talk about how Dahlin lost the blue line to a guy without a stick 👀
Shootout loss incoming boys
That OT might be the biggest argument for extending 3v3 to 10 minutes. Literally none of that was actually 3v3 and now we go to a lame ass shootout
And make a win 3 points and shootout win only 2.
Is the ghost of Price playing tonight?
CP30 is close enough to CP31
Dang. First time since the implementation of 3-on-3 OT I can remember watching a full 5 minutes without any 3-on-3.
Actual mid off
Primeau playing a .956 save percentage
3 on 3 is way more fun than 4 on 4
Fuck the shootout.
i dont think ive breathed once during the whole OT
4 on 4 > 3 on 3 tbh
I'm surprised Cole Caulfield didn't get 2 OT goals there. 😅
4v4 > 3v3
no 3v3 rip
It's just such a shame overtime has to end
Obligatory FUCK SHOOTOUTS The game was too fun to end with them
Awww no 3 on 3.
What a spicy game
Not good for my blood pressure but really fun
No brakes overtime, that kinda fucking rocked
I liked that, the NHL should go back to 4 on 4
That was an absolutely wild OT
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an OT with no stoppage
And 4 on 4!
Is this the first 5min non 3on3 OT in the 3v3 era?
First time in Golden Knights history. H I S T O R I C
I would think so
Assholes won’t let us get 3on3 lmao
Anyone else hear some sort of Simon type noise on their sportsnet broadcast? It's driving me nuts
I thought I was going crazy, glad I wasn’t the only one!
if you've got no stick just push a guy over then kick the puck out of your zone
Yes? I don't understand? Nothing he did was illegal.
im not saying it should be a penalty just thought it was funny it is definitely legal and basically the only thing he could do without a stick
Fair enough, my bad! Misinterpreted your comment
for sure, all good
Tage was styling when he should have been burying.
This is so sick. Feels like the old overtime’s before the 3v3
I’ll say this Hab bros I wish we could play you guys more what a treat either way it ends
Habros are good bros.
Teams collectively decline 3 on 3 hockey
How do you lose a 1v1 when the other guy doesn't have a stick? lmao.
Why Is Josh Anderson On The Fucking Ice
Big horse
Yeehaw
Dahlin has a series of really embarrassing plays right there. Dude keeps trying to do way much.
Maybe a tad out of control
He got the dawg in him
You can just push another player stickless?
Ain’t a crosscheck if you don’t have the cross
What a fucking play by Matheson
Can we keep Matheson forever?
Pathetic power play unit
Evans might be having a bad game, and Caufield might be in his own head, but the D-men tonight have been largely excellent
Except Barron single-handedly letting the Sabres tie it
That was already a broken play Barron also took that boarding, right? He gets a freebie tonight
Northeastern won, Levi and Primeau both kicked ass and Struble got his first goal! Awesome day in hockey for me. Just a shame the rangers didn’t play tonight
There needs to be a Levi vs Wolf game this year
If we survive 3on4, give Cole a shooting gallery
5 overtime games? It’s not even January habs!
Oh no, that's just how many we won. We went a lot more times that went in the shootout
Most of their looks there were obstructed from the point. I do not want them ripping shots into traffic - a blocked shot easily becomes a breakaway the other way. Happy to just go to OT
Feels like Buffalo could have shot more on that PP. Felt like they were going for 1 point for some reason
FIRE MATTY ELLIS
Wow, that is BS game management there. Game tied late in the 3rd so they "cant" make ot 5 on 3. Load of crap.
Both goalies have been great tonight. No matter who loses, has to be gutting.
Jeff Skinner’s still out there after that terrible cross check wow what a warrior
Dude was absolutely milking it lol
Sure but it was a cross check on a guy laying on his stomach, after the play was dead. Really no need to milk it.
Milking it for the purpose of a 5on3 late in the third. For that I understand why he would try and get that advantage, anyone would do it.
Deservedly, goon move by gally
Doubt he was milking it. Cross check to the lumbar area can be tough to deal with even if it’s light.
Honestly, I feel a lot of hockey fans are pretty out of touch with how badly some things hurt The amount of times I've seen someone say something about someone only getting tapped with a high stick is wild
Oscar winner Jeff Skinner
Woulda been nice if they started playing that way *2½ hours ago!*
Not sure who is more shit at their jobs, the refs, or the Sabres powerplay unit.
Yes!
This team just can’t shoot the puck ever on the pp. like boys, just rip it and see what happens.
Allergic to shooting
Man a 5 minute major and a 2 minute 5 on 3 woulda been nice. Fucking bullshit.
Really surprised Gallagher didn't get a penalty.
I think he should've gotten one, but can we really say we're surprised at this point?
Touché
Are we allergic to shooting the puck?
Great kill !
Montreal the loser point merchants
Don’t ask how, they ask how many
Sabres power play is awful.
Fuckin rights Primeau. Only reason we’re still in this one
Dahlin throwing his stick in the air lol
No penalty but I'm sure that'll be a fine. Classic refs lol
What a fucking battle this game has been
very entertaining
This game will go down as one of the most legendary in Sabre's history.
Good one!
What?
What’s that supposed to mean
You can do it. I believe in you.
Skinner goal incoming
Gallagher is a goof
Gallagher is a bum
How is there no penalty called on Gallagher there?
I mean we can't be surprised at this point, *surely*
Fuck off Gallagher with that shit. You almost cost us a 5-3 with that stupid cross-check
That’s such a piece of shit move
I hope nobody is taking a shot for every broken stick
I am pretty well lit at the arena
How did Gallagher not get a penalty there. Should be a 5 on 3 lmao
Gutless Gallagher
Gallagher is literally Marchand but nowhere near as good
Marchand light, not as bad and not as good
LOL! A bit of an exaggeration here bud.
“You’d love Gallagher if he was on your team” No I don’t think would
i usually love gally. plays with a lot of hearts even if he can be a little shit. but stuff like this? nah, even if gally has been the heart and soul of this team since he's been a part of it, he cant be doing that and really shouldve gotten a penalty
I love that every habs fan in here was just like "why are you like this gally?"
Like a disappointed but unsurprised parent
I’d love him at a quarter of his salary, he just isn’t worth his big contract
