That was weird... we were hemmed in our own zone and the Leafs weren't even allowed to touch the puck

Myers looking for the fight - i like it. Wonder what pissed him off

A new Blue light commercial :) It was Leo's man - he came from Leo's side. I think Myers and Leo have literally no chemistry on the ice - neither seems to know what the other is planning on doing

This must be what it feels like to play the Sabres. It is quite nice really

Say what you will about DR, he made a very good trade getting Hodgson. I wanted the Sabres to move up to 10th to get this guy. But I'm glad we have him and Myers now. Coho just seems to find his linemates in space

That isn't a penalty...he bumped into Myers path and fell over

Amazing pass

Two man army

Oh Foligno...lol...i guess he got it in the end

The first one is Miller's fault. The second one was saveable, but Pysyk really missed his man and left him alone in front of Miller. That one was a tip from inside the slot - What was Regehr doing?

But if you are injured because you didn't wear a visor, the owner still has to pay you

Myers Hodgson Ehrhoff Miller Foligno

Enroth Stafford Hecht Gerbe Leopold

Working on the stats for 15 goalies between 07/08-now. Howard's stats are the most interesting so far

No. Miller has been Vezina, Elite, Average-to-above-average, and this season is too early to call. Last year is hard to call, because he played injured for at least all of December (his words)

Okay, so I made this chart, which contains some goalie 'advanced stats' Some definitions: Quality Start = Any game where a goalie stops more than the league average percentage of shots (currently .914) or gives up less than three goals while stopping 88.5% or more of the shots he faces. Quality starts have resulted in a winning percentage of roughly .775. Bail-Out = The percentage of games where a goalie didn't record a quality start but the team still won the game. That is, the goalie gets the win while stopping less than 88.5% of the shots, or while giving up three or more goals and stopping between 88.5 and 91.3% of shots. Really Bad Start = Anytime a goalie fails to stop more than 85% of the shots he faces. This equates to roughly a 10% chance of the team winning the game. I chose to ignore April as it is very close to the playoffs so the way the team plays and the way the goalies are rotated changes alot Some facts: The best goalies will record ~60% quality start percentage while 55% will identify you as above average. The best goalies will record ~10-12% RBS rate High BO rate indicates being carried by the team, low BO rate indicates that the team rarely helps you out if you're not at your best. High BO% + Low QS% = being carried by team Low BO% + High QS% = unlucky to a certain extent What I learnt: Smith and Enroth are very streaky - they have a high number of QS, but also have double the average bad game rate Enroth is unlucky - the team never bails him out - a lot of his QS are wasted Miller was elite two years ago Miller was average last year, but that coms from a bad December/January (when he admits he came back too early) This year he has been average - but that comes from march alone - which a) isn't over and b) maybe he has given up on the team Lundqvist was crazy good last year The Sabres and Rags live and die by their goalie The reason the debate about Enroth rages is because he flips between being elite and an AHL goalie For anyone wondering, Miller's QS was .723 during his Vezina campaign

No he isn't better. And seeing as you think save percentage is the be all and end all of goaltending i'll quote it: Miller .914, Smith .912. There are plenty of other reasons he is worse, but I won't bore you with facts.

Armia had the primary assist on the GWG for Assat - they are leading 1-0 in their first round of playoffs

Burmistrov is meant to be available for the Jets - 21 year old two way centre (who can/does play wing)

I dunno, I think this is more Chz's fault. The community SDS constructed has the talent, they are just not focusing enough

Been outshot 5-1 over the last two periods

Does Rolstons method of playing pure defense when they get a lead piss anyone else off? They have 15 shots, only 5 in the last 35 minutes - which includes two power plays. It just seems inevitable that the other team will score

Weber has 4 give aways tonight. Everyone loves being so negative on this board. Why cheer for your team, when you can moan instead?

Miller is on the decline and not worth his salary but Lecavalier is worth the acquisition? The Sabres do love paying $7 million for a 70 point scorer (cough Vanek cough)

25% of their cap is now tied up in 2 players
