Not sure if this has been fine tuned since then (I should probably find out), but here's what it says on the Moneypuck website.

This could be part of the problem... Possibly in the other end as well.
The Sabres still give up a fair number of low danger shots. Keeping shots to low danger tells me the D are doing their jobs by keeping pucks to the outside. But giving the other team the opportunity to be in our zone enough to take that many shots might be more on the our F's not maintaining possession in the attacking zone.
(More cool colours.)
Rounding up, the Sabres goalies have let in 10 goals they shouldn't have in 5 on 5 play. Only 11 teams are on the bad side of even for this stat and the next closest team is about 3 goals better.
Of Adams' many failings, not finding a #1 goalie in 6 years is his worst achievement... Especially with all the extra 1st rounders we've had as trade chips in this time.
USHL is probably not the same league it used to be, but this is encouraging considering their draft position. 2nd and 4th in scoring coming out of their draft years.
Our offensive numbers are good.
Our defensive numbers are good (they actually are this year).
Our goaltending stinks.
If we get a breakout goalie to play at or near the top third of the league like our offense and defense, then we are jolted.
I personally like Thompson at C. It shouldn't be this way, but I do feel he seems more engaged there.
Send Östlund back to ROC and bring Rosen back up to play wing. Then move McLeod back to 3rd line C where he's better suited.
Who came up with the term three-headed monster? Does anyone else besides me find it kind of annoying? In my case, I once sat beside a guy who talked about it all game in the Levi, Comrie, UPL days, but I don't think I liked the term even before then.
