Was gonna mention: the MLB is even moving towards less interdivisional games this coming season, which I think is a good move

The Sabres played at a 33 point pace during their worst 10 game stretch, injury wise Huh...Mathematics?

Ok? It doesn’t change what I’m saying, at all

Probably reads this website

Too much focus on playing the same teams all the time playoff format already slanted that way

I can’t read sheet music

Still room for a bit of development, then. given his track record of having a penchant for development, this is probably a good thing

The penalty differential looks good for such a young age. It’s like the version of Skinner we see today who’s figured out how to pass, but with better 2 way play, and he’s still getting better. Better goal song right now, too, and I don’t even know what Quinn’s is

No idea. Florida is lagging kinda. As is Calgary lol

Forgive me but no, the chart precisely IS my point. Remove the x and y axis definitions and all the numbers. Just look at the logos and forget all the noise. Even just at a glance, where are the Sabres, if you had to say? Somewhere around the middle. Normal. My point all along has been merely that the injuries are, )for sake of argument, here,) more less par for the course. That we haven’t been “hard done by” re: bad lack, unusual circumstance on the injury front, *relatively*. But my point has also been that that ^ is not the same as saying it hasn’t *affected* us more: it has. I think the numbers bear that out. But that’s because our depth replacements haven’t been up to snuff relative to other teams. That’s ok, because we are building depth. But we can’t realistically have expected better results re: injury hand dealt. In future, we’ll simply be less affected, better equipped to withstand, due to the looming depth it looks like we’ll have coming.

Clearly Adams ((or/and?) his team) had it right. - - - ^ on this front, my guy was Lundell and he did have 44 in 65 last season.

Because of the *replacement* thats exactly my point or rather, THE point

dear lord lol this simulation is crazy

I was referencing the Avatar film by Canadian legend James Cameron, you said avatar was a kids show which I assumed was a reference to an animated show I haven’t seen which I THINK was subtitled : the last airbender, thus me highlighting/capitalizing “last” and “bend” in my post. i did not actually google the show so maybe I was wrong lol Civil War remains a top 5 mcu outing and a big part of that for me was Nemo

I was being nice. In truth I have you ranked second last. - - - Pi like McDavid is unmovable from the 1st position due to his strength of avatar

This is the Last time I’ll let you Bend the meaning of my post.

Him and McDavid are power play fiends together, go peep the PP scoring list. The Draisaitl we see sans McDavid is going to fall back into the pack of “other great players” rather than being separate from the rest on his island with Connor. So while he’s better than Reinhart, with the way we were constructing the team around Jack and Sam I doubt things would have been drastically different. He’s not really the NHL’s second best player. That’s Tage Thompson, apparently.

It’s kinda fun having a guy sit at the highest reaches possible of the Scoring list, in 1st on that list, at this point of the season. Can’t remember the last time this happened. No, McDavid-and-his-Draisaitl don’t count. Don’t care. McDavid isn’t really human.

Finally, your real photo is up.

the movie, Avatar

I can’t wait to see what your avatar is later this afternoon

Not a crime to want to engage with one of the board’s best / most influential posters

Just an injury graphic follow up Sabres have suffered a below-average amount of injuries, yet have also a below average amount of wins Sabres sitting among the less-hard-done-by teams, here, mostly surrounded by playoff teams. In addition, the metric they use to determine how bad the injuries are specifically re: points lost has the Sabres among the teams with the least severe impacts. We aren’t all the way left so can see our injuries haven’t been “negligible”, but relative to the league, they kind of are. Par for the course. That is to say, if someone offered us this injury outlook in advance, heading into any season, we should be jumping on it. That injuries have had a run at sliding our record again comes down to the fact our regular amount of injuries have affected us unrelatively strongly due to being a building team lacking depth

Come on, now
