Woohoo! That Benson goal had a slow-motion feel as soon as Bryson got the puck. The goal was happening no matter what, just a question of how long it took to go in. -

LA looks lost. Some sort of king-in-exile stuff going on. -

Will the Sabres score in the 1st period? Will the Sabres score more than one goal? Can the Sabres win a home game? Tune in tonight and find out! -
As of 2/13, Quality Starts from with goalies 20+ starts (per Hockey-Reference): UPL is ninth in the league. He's been giving them a chance to win almost every game all season long. >.700 = Hill VGK, Montembault MTL, Swayman BOS, Ullmark BOS >.640 = Daccord SEA, Hellebuyck WPG, Demko VAN, Skinner EDM, UPL BUF That's a lot of very defensively sound teams and good goalies, including a guy who won 14 in a row. Every one of those goalies is at least +4 in their win/loss column except UPL who is -1 (Exempting OTL for simplicity)

One thing I couldn't help but noticing yesterday is that Parayko looks like himself again. (For a couple years there were rumors he'd be moved, etc., because he'd clearly taken a step back and was overpaid long-term, blah blah blah). And then I realized he's a) 30 years-old and an established veteran, b) he's paired with a healthy and still super mobile Nick Leddy, and c) the Blues have a coaching staff that understands team defense and players who buy into it. Point production-wise, he'll never likely earn his cap hit (6.5), but minutes-wise and defensive-play, that's not bad for a top-pair defenseman (especially if the other guy is only making 4M). -
Benson's shot and speed will get better as he gains strength. In a few years he'll be fine, just like most top players who don't make it to the NHL until they're 21-22. Now, should he be in the NHL this season? He was really good in training camp. Should that have mattered versus say... Olofsson or Rousek or an experienced UFA grinder for the bottom 6 as the #12-13F? A couple games before the All-Star Break, JJP and (Cozens? probably? Maybe even Quinn) had a 2-on-1 break. JJP was ahead and dropped the puck back. Instead of driving the net and being available for a tip, rebound, screen, diversion of the goalie, and general chaos, he floated off toward the corner for a sharp-angle one-timer feed. He took himself out of the play except for a perfect pass. The defenseman was able to focus on the other skater. The goalie didn't have anyone near him. JJP is one of our best and brightest and has a future as a middle-6 20-goal/season guy, but it felt so gross to watch him just... float away. With the rest of the garbage.

Yup. The time to help now was 2.5 months ago (when, admittedly, it's tricky to find a trade because many GMs believe they're still in it, or they've already tanked going into the season). Case in point, UPL is giving them elite goaltending his last 10 starts (.937 sv) and they're treading water at 5-5 (and not the good 6-1-3 kind of 5-5).

I'm glad Skinner and Ellis and GM Sheevyn want to be here. -

And that's why you shoot at the pad when you've got a teammate going to the net just behind you. Just like a pass. -

Nice. We don't have to worry about seeing a SHG to close out the game. -

Hey! A double-minor powerplay to close out the game. Two PP goals for the win? -

Kyrou hits the post instead of putting the Sabres out of their misery.
