So I just missed the best period of the season?

 

Yeah, that sounds about right.

You missed the most entertaining period I've seen the Sabres play in years.

[darksabre]

Robin Lehner must be screaming internally over this goal support.

When it comes to PP stats (for example, PP%), how is a major like that scored? Is it still 1/1 regardless of whether they score 1, 2, or 17 goals? Or is it PP goals/ PP chances?

It counts as a single PP. So that’s 3 goals,1 PP.

 

But remember, a 5 second power play also counts as a PP opportunity.

[Jävə Keith]

That PP needs to be hardwired in their memory for next year.  Hope that they can build on this confidence after a tire fire of a season.  Praying for Victor A.

You can finish your check. Absolutely. But finish it at the hip. Finishing it high, with an upward trajectory, main point of contact being the head/neck? Enjoy your early shower. And enjoy not needing to hit the shower for a few games as you serve a suspension.

I don't think the hit was high. It was totally unnecessary, but I suspect the league upon review is going to cite Antipin turning his back on the play and not suspend the dude.

We HAVE to run up Jack's point total as much as possible.

Why?

Interesting. So you could finish a game with a PP% far exceeding 100%. Never really gave it much thought before.

Because aside from the Sabres winning, it's the only thing I seek out of life.

If I told you on January 1st Sam Reinhart would have 22 goals at be 1 point shy of his previous best, I think everyone would have called me nuts.

Considering where your opinion of him at that time was, schizophrenic would be more precise. :p

I agree, but they do it all the time without penalties being called

It shouldn't have been that bad, I agree a passing love bump happens all the time, that was a head Hunter hit.

Look at Hartnell's stick and elbows and notice how high they are on the hit.

Larsson has a reputation and has never done anything close to that. Hartnell will pay for this.

[Thorner]

NHL record for assists in a game is 7. Been done 4 times, 3 by The Great One.

 

How cool would that be for Jack?

I was pretty upset and down on him.

Don’t look now, but Jack is only one point off a PPG pace again. Can he pick it up in the third for a career-high 6 point effort?

5 is a high already I believe.

Looked to me like Harnell finished high and did so intentionally. His body was definitely moving upward. And the primary point of contact appeared to be Hartnell’s shoulder to Antipin’s neck.

I feel like jack has had 5 before but i have no evidence to back that up.

After each goal, it is considered a new powerplay. So, unless they score rigbt at the 5 minute mark they will end up getting stopped on the final pp. They should be 4/6 now on the pp. (They were 1 for 2 prior to the major & then 3 for 4 on it.)

I think it ties a career best. 2 goals and 3 helpers against Boston on Christmas Eve back in his rookie year, right?

[carpandean]

How many times has a player had 5 points and still been a minus (Jack is -1)?

I think that was 3 goals 1 assist 4 points.

Gotcha. That probably makes the most sense, although it still isn’t a perfect measure. Hell of a way to help the team percentage.

It is? Hmm I did not think that was true. I’ll have to look into that.

That one was 2 + 2. Two empty net points, or even three. 

 

The 3+1 was Carolina around THanksgiving.

LOL Pominville

[TrueBlueGED]

Somewhere, there are nincompoops who aren't impressed by Eichel's 5 assists because they aren't goals.
