Coach55 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) I was doing some research and discovered that the team that is winning during the 2nd intermission has ~80% chance of coming away with 2 points. During the Sabres 6 game winning streak, they trailed entering the 3rd in 5 of the 6 games (Tampa Bay was the lone exception). Winning 6 straight alone is an impressive feat. Winning 6 straight playing with your backs against the wall really makes me think this team has what it takes to make an extended run. Note the odds of winning 5 consecutive games when trailing entering the 3rd is about 3100 to 1. Edited November 20, 2018 by Coach55 7 1 Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 20, 2018 Report Posted November 20, 2018 That is amazing. They guys are good, or at least getting there. They will be scary good when they play a complete 60 minutes and not just 35, or so. Just imagine what there chances of winning will be like then. Quote

Coming from behind like this, and playing one period of good hockey while getting wins is not sustainable. They really haven't played a mostly complete game since the loss against the Rangers ironically. 2 Quote

PerreaultForever Posted November 20, 2018 Report Posted November 20, 2018 I think the Philly game will be interesting. Both teams really bad starters and strong in the 3rd. If we could find a way to start stronger and develop a killer instinct, we might actually become a dominant team. Young team though, one step at a time. They will get there. They are only just now learning what it takes. Quote

As for schedule, maybe we've seen more back up goalies than we will later as teams rethink how they play us, but aside from that, spot on. Quote
