There’s still a whole period left (and when we trailed Vegas 4-1 last year we ended up sending the game to OT so it’s definitely not over) but sometimes there’s driving a good time into the ground by overthinking it and taking stats... too literally?

True, and I'm enjoying myself. I just can't fully without being able to reconcile that these aren't flukes, and to me shots and scoring chances show some sustainable success. I'd also really like one of the rookies to get on the board ya know?

Scoring chances 12-10 for Vegas overall. That's pretty good. Supports Hoss' idea that Vegas taking bad shots but a lot of them; which is exactly what we did all last year 

I’m here yelling myself hoarse.

Wanted to ask: Score effects?

I’m becoming a glutton for Hutton. 

Unbutton my mutton and summon the sultan with the concussion and muffin for discussion about the escutcheon that is Hutton.

Outshot 14-5 in that period. Shots for is very bad and shots against is still very bad. 

Jack, Sheary and Berglund all had near miss goals that period too.  I'm loving it!

I've always looked at scoring chances. Last year I would see us get all these shots on goal and wonder where we're they. I do think shots on goal may indicate time in offensive zone though.

[That Aud Smell]

Yeah - it just doesn’t feel like a 25-15 affair.

[Iron Crotch]

Housley is rolling all three defense pairs pretty evenly (Risto a little more ice time than others due to PK and PP). Okposo actually leads forwards in ice time.

When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen (for those of us in an older era).

See... I had this in my head but was afraid to post it, because I kept going back to Smith Barney and John Houseman. He makes saves the old fashioned way...

Agree. Cinderella hopefully has come to Vegas. Let's see how great their fan base is with some of our suffering

[Brawndo]

Dahlin is paired with Beaulieu

[WildCard]

Dahlin does this thing where he's on his toes with his stick really far in front, leaning forward a lot, when backskating. Really wish he'd stop that

Because of the PK maybe? He's had a rough game tho

Okposo has played real well

[Trettioåtta]

Dahlin definitely looking like a rookie this game. But he’ll recover

I wish it on every team other than us

If the Sabres hang on to win today they will have snapped what might be the longest number of consecutive days with an under .500 record in sports history.
