  1. Well the shoe's on the other foot now. @DarthEbriate mentioned watching an episode of Bojack, a reference to Bojack Horseman, a show on Netflix, if you can't be bothered to Google it.
  2. I think some of our D problems have to do with having a top 4 D playing huge minutes who has fewer than 60 NHL games under his belt. Power's very good for someone with so little experience but he's still learning the NHL level. He's almost always in position, but doesn't always make the play. For instance he was standing right next to Barbashev but only waved his stick at him instead of boxing him out and Barbashev had plenty of room to spin around and score. Lay the body on him, young man. (In Power's defense you could also blame it on lack of communication as Barbashev was Joki's guy until just before the pass came in, or even say Joki should have boxed Barbashev out before he even got to the prime slot position.) But yeah, he still has some learning to do.
  3. I think Bryson is our weakest defenseman. I still think he's more positive than negative, but out of the top six he's the one I would upgrade. Now that Boosh seems to be recovered from whatever was ailing him, Bryson and Boosh seem to complement each other and seem to be developing some chemistry. I thought Clague might be climbing over Bryson on the depth chart but apparently not.
  4. He's not on the same level as Dahlin, or probably even Muel or Power for that matter, but he's an unsung hero. And over the last few games he's played better than Muel who seems to be in a funk at the moment (nagging injury?) Bryson, I think, isn't as bad as many here say. He has his flaws; I'll grant that. But he is pretty good at moving the puck up and out of the defensive zone. Getting weird bro It took me a while to even know what he meant by "smokeshow"; eventually got it from context. I agree: Getting weird.
  5. If you look at standings points percentage, the Sabres are in the second WC playoff spot.
  6. Ukko Pekka Luukkonen is the first Buffalo Sabres goalie with at least 10 wins and a 0.700 standings points percentage since... Ryan Miller did it in 2011-2012
  7. Yeah... Avs are doing their Sabres impersonation. Which means there's an EN goal coming... right?
  8. The defense was decimated. At the very start of the season (through the first western swing) he looked very good. I'm of the camp that his stats are depressed by the crappy-ass defense. But at the same time, I want to stick with the hot hand (UPL and a dose of Anderson once a week).
