Balanced Scoring

[inkman]

It’s early but I like seeing the scoring spread among the entire roster.  Something about Zemgus and Okposo being at the top warms the cockles of my heart. Good seeing Skinner get off and Miller not looking like a disaster as well.

I was looking at stats this morning too and notice the Sabres skaters aren't in the top 20 for any scoring stats or TOI.  To me this is a testament to Granato's coaching ability and system, and just as importantly the players willingness to buy in.  This is exactly what I was hoping to see for this team because it is the only way I can see them having sustained success this season.

But we top the special teams list, though! That's good. Still no PP goals against. Would be great to shut down Bruins PP

We weren’t supposed to be good in 09 either yet we had a bunch of 20 goal scorers. 
 

yes I’m on a high don’t bring me down

Imagine how many more points Miller would have if he changed his stick and didn't wiff so often.

 

...eh, maybe he'd have less.

I’m just happy Inky’s cockles are warm.

I was concerned.

100%.  I lump those into team stats because it I think it says more about the system than individual player.   I would even venture to say Friday's game may very well come down to the Sabres success on the PP and PK that night.

I predicted 5 guys with 15 goals this season. They're off to a good start.

I noticed this last night as well. His stick looked like it had a hole in it.

Are you saying 4 players hit the 25-6 goal mark against Chicago?  I could get behind that.

Glad I’m not the only one who likes to see Skinner get off.
