LastPommerFan Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 As usual, GCoE with the explanation. Freaking know-it-all. (Kidding. Thanks.) I only know that because I often find myself looking at +/- and asking myself the same exact question before wasting precious minutes worrying about it and then ultimately slapping myself in the forehead and saying, "oh, right."
Hoss Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 How does McDavid have two points, but a -1, in a game where the opponent only has scored one goal? There's something I'm not getting, here. GCoE beat me to it. He's hopping on too many PPs.
LastPommerFan Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 GCoE beat me to it. He's hopping on too many PPs. Is the NHL ready for a player like that?
Eleven Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Is the NHL ready for a player like that? You can play.
Hoss Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 I served that one up to see who could take it and GCoE/Eleven hit it out of the park. Good work. Marner finished with two points as a plus one.

pi2000 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 EDM played a solid game. CHI coming off a difficult back to back, but the Oil played a desperate game and it paid off. They could be getting on a roll here... they're overdue. Next 3 for EDM: FLA,@STL,@TBL BUF: DET,MIN,PHI Some tough games for EDM.
jwhit34 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 So far this week: Sabres 0-3, 0 points, lose to Carolina and NJ, Edmonton beats the Black Hawks. If it's race to the bottom that's a great week. At this point, those 4 teams are the legit contenders for #30. 27 shots in 1 period? And Neuvrith stopped them all? And they still lost? Amazing... Nice of Derek Roy to have a good game for the Sabres - he had a goal and 2 assists vs. Black Hawks for Oilers last night. Maybe he's the spark they needed.
sicknfla Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 The Oilers looked very good last night. They were playing at a speed that we are not capable of playing at. They should have much better second half of the season.
TrueBlueGED Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Who ever said Derek Roy isn't a winner? He may well propel us to the Shart!
Claude_Verret Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 The hottest team in the CHL...your Buffalo Sabres.
TrueBlueGED Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 The hottest team in the CHL...your Buffalo Sabres. And amazingly, the "they've turned a corner and are really building something" crowd seems to have gone into witness protection. Funny that.
Hoss Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 I'm still not feeling great, though. It's likely my pessimism. Our schedule is pretty soft at the end of the season which scared me. We don't have as much talent to sell off as some of these other teams. It's going to be a brawl to the finish.

No doubt it will be. Nobody said winning the Shart is easy, we're going to need to be at the top of our CHL game and have some bounces to go our way to win it. I believe and trust in GMTM, even if it takes some of the most brazen tank roster manipulation we have yet seen.

Which is why picking up points now is key. If they don't let their foot on the gas now, they'll hopefully be able to weather the storm when others go into full fledged downhill coast mode.
Hoss Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Next three are at home... Detroit, Philly and Minnesota. This will be a test of our might. I don't think we'll be winning all three.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 And amazingly, the "they've turned a corner and are really building something" crowd seems to have gone into witness protection. Funny that. At your service ... Kindly take note of a post of mine a page, or so, ago in this thread. And I still hate the fact that the Sabres stink.
Randall Flagg Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) And amazingly, the "they've turned a corner and are really building something" crowd seems to have gone into witness protection. Funny that. Speaking only for myself, I've been pretty busy the last couple weeks, and I'd also just say that while those 13 games where we won a lot were definitely not sustainable, I also think these seven straight losses where enroth has now been under .900 pretty consistently seem to be a swing in the other direction; I think we're a bit better than we have been the last few. Especially when it's no longer flu season. And I still think this can be part of a corner turning, mainly with Girgs and Risto and Zad, I think we'll be really pleased come April when we look at where they were at the beginning of the season. :) Edited January 10, 2015 by Randall Flagg
TrueBlueGED Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Sorry NS and FormerlyNumark, I should have had an emoticon in my post. Just having a little fun with the back and forth, not meant as a serious call out :)
Jsixspd Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Now we've closed to within 2 points of Edmonton, and 1 point of Carolina. And Edmonton has played 1 fewer games this season, and Carolina 2 games fewer. Another loss, and one win each by Carolina and Edmonton, we'll be back in the cellar where we belong.

Just having a little fun with the back and forth, not meant as a serious call out :) :cry: True doesn't remember who I actually am :P (Arcsabresfan, that college kid who rarely knows what he's talking about) I get ya, but more than once this week I got around to thinking that it probably looks bad that we haven't posted much with regards to how they're playing :P So this was a nice way to put out what I was thinking. I finish up work soon to head back to school, so I get to see the rest of the ###### show, won't miss anymore games, woohoo! I also plan to stop any anti-tank stuff at this point other than to poke fun maybe, cause we're close enough to the end now that I can manage, especially cause I seem to remember real hockey games being present on NBC and the like a lot more often once the new year turns.
