Part of why the Sabres give up so many goals? They are among the worst in the NHL at blocking shots

I realize the shortcomings of +/- but wow. Quite the discrepancy.

The top 4 have played a total TOI of 1740 minutes to get to +28.

The bottom 4 have played a total TOI of 861 minutes to get to -22.

I left Boosh and his 261 minutes out as he is even.

If the D can be healthy this team can win a lot more games. Finding better D depth would help too.

KA and Meatballs acknowledged that depth is an issue with the team being so young, so we might need a little time to address that further

That is a little deceiving because those teams also allow fewer shots in general, so there aren't as many chances to block them.

It's almost like taking any single metric is silly.
