Playoff GDT | Game #1 | at Sabres | Wednesday, May 6th 2026 7:00 PM EST

I actually like those lines I posted. Fourth line has three centers that can take draws if needed and should be tenacious on D.

Reunite the second line that was great for a few weeks earlier this season.

Assign Anderson to get the puck to Suzuki.

Third line was great last series.

Anderson can get the puck, but not sure he knows what to do with it after he gets it

Why Dobes on a tight leash ? Because he allowed 1 bad goal in these playoffs ? We didn't lose because of him tonight (bad goal or not)....

The rush chances were all from our turnovers, so yeah.

i wonder how Hage would have fared against Tampa and Sabres

We'll find out . . . in two years.

Skill like Hage and Zharovsky can’t arrive soon enough

75 on a tight leash.

Dobes is fine. One bad game... And really, it was one bad goal and one questionable goal. The other 2 were pretty much impossible.

 

[Rolex]

I think we all kinda knew this was the game they'd lose.....and fans are already questioning the goalie ???

How about you question why our top 2 lines are MIA (outside of Slaf's 3 goals in Game 1 of 1st round)

With another team

 

[Rolex]

Dobson definitely looks more comfortable out there....even his shot had more velocity....and he wanted the puck....

They should utilize his shot more from the point....Hutson is amazing, but when he crosses in the middle, he often has opportunities to shoot but prefers to pass it to teammates with zero angle shots

Um Nick has scored in 2 games in a row and has 7 points. Juraj took too many head shots last series, he was carrying it better today.

 

[Rolex]

With another team

i knew that you of all people would be pissed by his decision.....it's such a ''beta'' decision....an Alpha player would have jumped at the idea of helping the team in the playoffs.

Hutson would have paid for his own bus ride to get to MTL if he was in Hage's shoes

Not necessarily. Sometimes you post lines with the material you have available and that material sucks.

Use your head sir!

I already posted what to do with it. Get it to Suzuki. Then go to the front of the net for a tip.

Didn’t like his body language, positioning and rebounds tonight. He wasn’t the same as in the last series. If he looks like that again I would give Fowler a shot.

It wasn’t the goal. He was fighting it all night long. The good thing is he hasn’t lost a game after a loss since January.
