  1. Didn’t notice it on the goal originally, Krebs makes a really nice pass to Casey before he scores. It’s not so much that it’s difficult placement, but he one touch passes it to him really quickly and it helps him find space
  2. Points in 4 straight
  3. Interestingly Krebs has more goals than assists Comrie is a victim of never being good enough to seize a starting role in a decade (ok fine, 7 seasons)
  4. This year I have evaluated that we need to score a lot to win because our G gives up a lot Way to go Peyton
  5. Come on, guys. - - - May have to pay the price to get a goalie we’ve been hesitant to pay
  6. Thompson up to 70 points Dahlin nearing 60
  7. Dahlin nearly with his 3rd point
  8. Best period since the 2nd period vs the Jets
  9. Haha good nostalgia
  10. The message was: today we play the ducks
  11. Dahlin Thompson combo goes boom
  12. If only there was some sort of magical device that lumped all these multitude of steaming services, or, “channels” if you will, into one singular contraption what a world that would be.
  13. Honestly, I give up you can yell at me in all caps as a response (“WRONG“) and swear at me all you like. Don’t really need the treatment tbh I’ll stick with this, after editing it to “2” in the last 10 years. Missed the Leafs a couple years ago
  14. We aren’t making the playoffs if we are below deluca. Yes, I get the fact that 110 points guarantees it. I do not care. I do not care how many times you try to correct me on it. I do not care about finding a number that GUARANTEES it. Have explained this countless times. My interest is in the number we need to achieve that represents the first realistically achievable number where playoffs are *more likely than not*. It is VERY statistically likely that a non deluca team misses. It is very unlikely a non deluca team makes it
  15. There’s been 1 playoff team in the east in the last decade to be below deluca 500, 9 years ago let it go
  16. There’s the top 20, then the Next 12 Sabres are currently at the very top of that grouping. Let’s divide the group into 2, though, as there’s a small apparent gap: the top 6 (that the Sabres lead) are all within 6 points. To get from the Sabres to the second group, the lower 6, it’s double digit points. The bottom 3 of that bottom 6 separates even *further*, all 3 teams at 40 points or below, all with 30+ regulation losses, all within 4 points of dead last. The DFL grouping...these are the teams you cannot lose to. Anaheim is in this group (along with Chicago and Columbus). Beat Anaheim.
  17. Good Morning Football? Fun show
  18. It’s gonna be tough. The more teams in the fold, the more unlikely it becomes that there aren’t statistical outliers on either end - we don’t have breathing room, so in that scenario, “there’s nothing for it” if we aren’t one of those statistical outliers, and the one on the most positive end. So we don’t need to just improve to a playoff pace when we have a sample size of 52 games now saying we are definitely, statistically, NOT quite a playoff team (and believe it or not, that’s actually the EASY part), we likely have to outperform someone outplaying that already improved pace down the stretch. This is why it’s just so hard to make up ground. If we get in, we shall deserve it
  19. Wouldn’t call Detroit “trash” personally as we are sitting at an identical 56 points though 52 games
  20. Re: playoff case Pens are pulling away, so the Caps going 4-6 in their last 10 has carried a fair bit of water in keeping us within striking distance even with our recent 4 game down-turn. As mentioned above this game may present somewhat of the first true “must win” of the season - we are 6 points back of the Caps for 8th - with 4 games in hand - but they are only useful if you win them. Being 6 points back, with 3 games in hand, isn’t a very great equation. Winning today goes a long way towards keeping the math more in our favour
  21. Wait, you didn’t get a letter in the mail from KA? Honestly I thought we all did. Awkward! - - - I don’t really care what happens w/Comrie, particularly, failing a scenario where we are told, because it didn’t happen this year, we need to use next year to “evaluate” Comrie
  22. Crosby top 10 in league scoring at 35. He’s somehow underrated. I’d really like to see Tage hold on to a top 10 spot as well. Will be tight
  23. Win or ot loss today prevents us from falling below Deluca .500. Not every deluca team makes it, but teams below that line never do - - - currently pacing for 88 points - a non-negligible, 6-win improvement over last season the 12 point improvement would be the most between 82 game seasons since between 17-18 and 18-19, when Bottterill’s Sabres improved by 14 points year over year
  24. More less his Podcast
