bob_sauve28 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Posted December 13, 2015 Right now the Sabres are: 25th in the league in scoring 11th in goals against 2nd on the power play!! 27th in penalty kill 28th in league standings I want to say I hope that that awesome goal but O'Reilly last night is the turning point of the season and things will get better quick. But if not it was still a cool goal. The team is a lot more fun to watch regardless and they are young. The stats above show some real potential Quote
dudacek Posted December 13, 2015 Report Posted December 13, 2015 The PP is where the upgrade in personnel has had the most effect, but let's not forget Dave Barr, who had some nice numbers with mediocre talent in Jersey. The PK would be better with better goaltending. Not blaming the goalies, but we haven't really had the big save factor. Don't overlook the fact we've taken the second-fewest number of penalty minutes in the league. This is a well-coached, disciplined team. Quote

Kind of surprising how bad the pk is when our overall goals against is really good. Who would want to face the Sabres in the first round of the playoffs with our power play and stingy defense. Just saying. Quote

bob_sauve28 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Report Posted December 13, 2015 This season? Literally every team would love to face us haha Fair enough, but if we do end up in the post season we will have to be one of the better teams the second half of the season Quote
Stoner Posted December 13, 2015 Report Posted December 13, 2015 Breaking down the 10-game segments, Sabres have now gone 6 points-12 points-9 points. The failure to build on that second 10 games is really disappointing. They're going to have to average about 13 points every 10 games from here on out. Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Posted December 15, 2015 Right now the Sabres are: 24th in the league in scoring 10th in goals against 5th on the power play 27th in penalty kill 25th in league standings Improvement in several areas. Starting this ten game segment with 2 points. 18 more to go! Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Posted December 17, 2015 Right now the Sabres are: 26th in the league in scoring 11th in goals against 5th on the power play 27th in penalty kill 26th in league standings Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Posted December 28, 2015 26th in the league in scoring 20th in goals against 9th on the power play!! 24th in penalty kill 25th in league standings As we move up slightly in the standings are stats do not improve much and some get worse Quote
LGR4GM Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 I think we will see game to game fluctuations for a bit longer until teams start to solidify themselves. Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Posted January 13, 2016 Right now the Sabres are: 26th in the league in scoring 12th in goals against 9th on the power play!! 27th in penalty kill 28th in league standings --Behind Leafs now :( 15th in SOG Quote

You'd think those two stats would be similar. Quote
Sabel79 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 Strange that they're top 3rd in goals against, but terrible on the PK. You'd think those two stats would be similar. DFL in PIMs per game, per NHL.com. Probably accounts for the variance. Quote
Taro T Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 Strange that they're top 3rd in goals against, but terrible on the PK. You'd think those two stats would be similar. DFL in PIMs per game, per NHL.com. Probably accounts for the variance. Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! They've also (from the eyeball test, haven't looked up the stats to confirm it) been much better on the pk in the last month or so than they were in October. Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Posted January 19, 2016 Right now the Sabres are: 26th in the league in scoring 14th in goals against 10th on the power play--That pp unit looks like they like playing together 23th in penalty kill (this is an improvement) 28th in league standings Quote
