If the Sabres Started Every Game 2-0 ...

What would their record be with THIS team? (Meaning no Eichel)

[ubkev]

Pretty much the same as it is now. They are not an NHL caliber team.

Hoss!!!!

I don’t think they’ve won a game when losing after 2 periods.  So, getting off to a 2 goal lead could help.

Hi!

[Marvin]

How many of their losses since Eichel and Ullmark went down were by less than 2 goals?  That is a place to start.

The fact that they've been shut out more times than they've won makes me feel like they still might not even make the playoffs. Big yikes with this team. I feel like REALISTICALLY any pro team spotted a two-goal lead (or equivalent) would still win a lot of games but boy, it ... doesn't feel that way here.

Well at least now we know a 3-0 lead isn’t enough to secure a win.

Was just going to say that. Question answered.

A 3-0 lead after two periods, against a team that had scratched its starting goalie (Hart wasn't even dressed!), dressed only 5 defensemen, and has been scuffling for a couple weeks.

...and had completely mailed in the first two periods playing hockey that was so bad, it was going to get the coach fired tomorrow.

And yet we found a way to lose.

I am so proud of these guys!
