I think he was an analyst- a pure numbers guy. I work in a technical field and have worked with people like that. Can generate numbers left and right but can't tell what conclusion they lead to.

Correct. That was my point. Instead of following the leaders brought in, they hung out with the bad influences (Bogo, Kane). Kevyn appreciates character and its affect on a young cohort of players better than XGMTM or JBot did. They just didn't "get" locker room dynamics.

They tried this when Eichel was here with Gionta (=Okie) and Gorges (=EJ), but... it wasn't the right time. The culture was so fractured then.

I think Benson gets his 9 games, then possibly Savoie,... then next man up out of Rochester.

Ummm.... the Stanley Cup part is a bit over the top.

12-1

For anyone who missed it:

I posted all my memes for the Sabres goal scorers plus my 6K meme in that thread.

I was looking for the hits stat before posting that. I still think we played more physical. If you have Evangelical friends my level of respect for you takes a hit.

We had several days of heavy rains and temps around 70+/-. Last night the cold front came through.

Yep. Autumn arrived in north Texas today. Cloudy and 46.

Not for nothing but I would say we out-phyiscaled the Avs. Looking at the two trips on Greeway: He was maneuvering for puck position each time and simply was stronger on his skates than the other guy. Neither one of those was a penalty to me.

Fair. I'll go Tuch and Skinner fourth stars for individual rushes that turned the tide. In the interest of full accountability: Too soon? Naaaaah.

3 stars in my book: UPL Mitts Dahlin

It didn't look good early.

The first few shifts of the game were tough. UPL stood tall early.

If Angry Runs was a thing in the NHL, Bryson would have won it for that shift.

Just affirming that.

Dominant shift!

I'm fine with it. I think the Avs started it.

Casey really does have mitts of silk.
