bob_sauve28 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 Go Sabres! Evander Kane and Risto will butt heads for sure. A win here would be a great boost. Quote

Randall Flagg Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 I'm still waiting for this team to play a close game. Just saw a tweet that there have been zero game-tying-goals in any of the 6 Sabres games, because the team that has scored first (always in the first) has held onto their lead the whole time. And for themost part, the leads for either team have settled in at at least 2 goals most of the way, which is why we either get caved in or are caving teams in, and why those happen in the situations you'd not expect at the surface (better stats when we're getting our butt kicked and vice versa). Anyway, at some point we're going to settle in like all teams and be in for lots of 2-2, 3-2, 2-1 third periods, as always happens as the season goes on. Quote
nfreeman Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 So, SJ is 2-3-1, having played 5 out of 6 on the road. They seem to be struggling on the PP and in goal: http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/25016380/nhl-five-reasons-why-san-jose-sharks-struggling-season Let's get 'em. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 Over the last ~50 games, Evan Rodrigues is our most efficient ES scorer (points per ice time), is the driving reason why the fourth line is the best line relative to its role for us so far, and is one of the only Sabres winning their tiny ES sample size of goal differential. He did all of this playing with only bottom six guys (though last year Sam Reinhart was his 5th-most-paired-with forward, at a few minutes I think haha). I'm not saying that he needs to be put next to Jack, but if we're down early in Vegas, there's no reason for this guy to be struggling to get 10 minutes of ES ice time when a guy like Sobotka is 3rd among all forwards. Let's see you know your team, Phil. 1 Quote
jsb Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 Some interesting stats Skinner-Rodrigues and Beaulieu lead the team in +/- at +2 Jack is last at -6 followed closely by Risto, Sheary and Reinhart at -5 Berglund our new whipping boy it seems has as many equal strenght assists as Reinhart and Sheary..... 1 and both of them on Jack's goal Bogosian broke the Vegas bank by playing the entire game Tuesday and playing just over 16 minutes at +/- of 0 He also led the team in blocked shots and hits In comparison last game Dahlin was -2 and Risto was -3 Someone mentioned Rodrigues but did you know Sobotka is averaging a minute more of TOI than Skinner also Quote

The kid gives 100% on every shift and he's more talented than people seem to give him credit for. 4 Quote
