Except for the 1st game (and particularly the 1st period of that game) and some odd stretches w/in the other games, the Sabres have been as good or better than their opponents as far as carrying the play. But the Sabres bury fewer of their ES chances & the goalies have had 1-2 bad goals let in nearly every game. If that's "puck luck" the Sabres should be poised to go on a tear. If it's due to the Sabres goalies not being good enough, we'll likely see them hover around 0.500 all season or just below. Edited January 28, 2021 by Taro T 4 1 Quote

There is no way to be ranked that high in virtually every analytic category without being a pretty good team. When they get some puck luck they could go on a run and potentially start dominating teams. 3 Quote

It's nice when the stats line up with what you're seeing, or what you think you're seeing, anyway. It does surprise me a bit that the quality of shots surrendered is so low -- they just seem scrambly or sloppy at times (maybe just inopportune times). Quote

It does surprise me a bit that the quality of shots surrendered is so low -- they just seem scrambly or sloppy at times (maybe just inopportune times). They do seem "scrambly" at times, but they really aren't giving up those shots from the slot nearly as often as in years past. Miller's shot w/ 6 or so seconds left in the 1st should've been harmless & the type of shot that you don't mind too much giving up. (Ideally, you don't want to give up any, but that's not happening & a fairly unscreened shot from right at the BL should be stopped 99+ times out of 100.) Even last year's team would've let that goal sink them. They fought back & after the game the Rags studio analyst was saying he knew they were going to lose when the 3rd period started. Nice to be on the opposite side of that for once, though unlike him, yours truly wasn't close to convinced the Sabres would definitely kill off Hall's penalty. Quote

Back in the 90s-00s it seemed like Gen X went well into the '80s.

Stoner Posted January 28, 2021 Report Posted January 28, 2021 I'd feel better if A. Analytics was saying the Sabres might be very good in the standings eventually vs. it saying the Sabres might be very good (at the time of the post) despite a middling record. Quote
