It doesn't really matter anyway. There is only one stat that matters, and the Sabres have have been substandard at that for a long f'n time.

There is just no reason to ever try and clean a pike, I mean, unless you are minutes away from death by starvation. 😂

FTFY. Just make your point. No need to tell someone else what they do or do not know. It's obnoxious.

I call mine "The Shocker."

It didn't. They just pinch their pennies.

I love this stat. It would be perfect if it also factored in the quality of the shooter and goalie (it is a league average, so it doesn't differentiate between Samuelson shooting on Bobrovsky from Crosby shooting on Houser from the same spot), but it's close enough.

There were what should have been routine plays on the end wall in our zone that ended up scoring chances for the other team. And it was Chicago and Pittsburgh, not very good teams.

He has the most talent, if that's what you mean. Not sure if he is the best player right now, though.

That is awesome.

Our Cs do get traded. Injured or not, His issues look exactly the same as before he got "injured". When he stands up tall and looks real pretty, he makes a mistake. when his knees are bent and he is down low digging, he's unbeatable. Someone needs to remind him of the old saw, "bend your knees as low as you can go, your half way there." It worked for Mittelstadt. Once he stopped getting knocked down, he became really good along the boards.

Awesome win. Well, it's official,… Chicago is terrible.

This is a big moment. …Cuz it wreaks of an OT loss.

I'm not gonna put money on it. I shoulda bet.

I would Love our first power-play goal of the year to be on a penalty that just wasn’t.

He was the best d man that period. Didn’t notice Cozens. That’s a start iguess

Yes!!!!

Nice.

It’s fine on ESPN+. SwampD from the garage checking in.

Given the spirit of this thread, I’m just going to leave this alone. I just hope they are all aiming higher.

It’s what we do here because it’s all we have. We can’t talk about guys who could actually change the fortune of our team because Kevyn traded them all away.

“Thing of beauty”,… I mean,… sure. He shot the puck, and it went in. Yes, that’s pretty. We don’t get to see that very often. But it was a pretty routine play to make a bad angle shot. If he string a couple more dozen of those together, I’ll think it’s “beautiful”. Like the others who are taking a pause from this site, I might have to, as well. I don’t like how negative it makes me.

If he played more, which I believe he should have, just for the atrocious PP alone, that seven would have been more. And it’s not like Benson’s 11 goals was a sea change for the team. But again, this team is always thinking about the future and never the now. It was better to have an 18 YO playing for what it meant for the future than to have Olafsson play. I think Donnie sat him because he had to look like he was doing something,… anything. Just my opinion.

remind me.

Why not? He might actually still be paying him. 😂

Kucherov is a star player.
