I agree. Just because we have players who can amount to more than VO here, now, doesn’t mean VO can’t be used to a greater harnessing of his abilities on another team, than he is currently, here. We’ve seen him with much more well rounded numbers in the past I’m sure KA would point to that in a potential trade, too

It’s not like VO doesn’t have a history of racking up a lot more assists than he is currently, too. We aren’t the only team that can improve players by fit The “VO is only a trigger man” thing was actually one we actively argued against until this season, which actually is an outlier re: his overall production VO was averaging 32 *assists* per 82, over the last 3 seasons, before this season where he has 9 total

Whoops, I wasn’t intending to say he should be sat. That’s my bad for not following the conversation. Truth be told I was just looking to say “yost” with y @Doohickie@PromoTheRobot

Yost

THAT’S not how the Force works!

Through 57 games played this season, Dahlin compared to last season has a net plus minus of +45

Dahlin and Thompson have both registered points in 70 percent of their games played this season. Dahlin in 40 games this year out of 57 played, Tage in 43 in 61 games played. Our next 2 leading scorers, Tuch and Skinner, are at 65% and 66% respectively After that, Cozens has found a way onto the scoreboard in 58% of games. No one else above 50.

Ok how about this - We are far enough into the season that we’re at the point where if you go to nhl.com and click on the standings, it automatically sorts by *wildcard standings* - and the sabres are in a spot by points % at this time. Super Stat or Meaningless Number? Wish I could simply say “in it”, but, that’s the best possible skew. Islanders situation is so tricky. By math we’d make up the 4 points with our games in hand but they’ve got the tiebreaker. So as of now we’ll always need to think about getting that one extra point more. In reality still plenty to go anyways, really. About our play over the final 21 obviously much more than just that 4 games. Looking pretty good so far

2 McConnors in the league soon

UPL has questionable rythym … All I need is the rhythm *divine* Lost in the music, Levi will be mine

Goalies playing good has been way too small a sample size, unfortunately, yes You’re

The fact it’s more often actively bad than even average is such a avenue for potential improvement. It’s at once maddening but also framed properly one of the greatest positives we are taking off clearly but there’s quite a bit of runway left to really, really launch this off

That’s what sh- you know what never mind

Finally a voice of reason

Nope tage is josh allin. say it with me you need to put aside the Ranger and become what you were born to be a “Tage is Josh Allin” Guy

Even more amazing, in a sense, is what just good goaltending can do. If Comrie could play like he did today (.917 sv%), good, on a consistent basis, we’d actually have a good goalie on our hands. Problem is he’s almost always sub 900. Not a coincidence that his stats today reflect everyone’s eye test. They often do

i try to keep this thread in my mind a lot.. - I didn't think we'd score like the 05-06 team as quickly as this season, argued against it

I don't think he sits Monday but maybe. edit you may not have been implying that, though if concussion symptoms are increasing as a game goes on, he very assuredly shouldn't be playing at all

damn you too?

When they make films about true stories, A-list actors play the common folk When they cast for Victor Hedman in a Hollywood movie, they'll cast Rasmus Dahlin
