GDT: 🏒 Los Angeles Kings @ Buffalo Sabres) 13 December 2022' 7:00 PM ET* MSG! WGR?

There is no reason not to be able to win this game. Stylistically they shouldn't have trouble doing their thing against Lalaland and it might come down to goaltending.

Putting in my life savings in on legal wagering for tonight!  Sabres win 53-0. Cozens w 15 goals, Thompson 35, & Power 3. 
 

 

Is that She-Ra?

I see what you did there 

[Thorner]

Sabres are 0-11-1 when scoring 3 or less goals this season. What a wild stat. It’s super positive in a way because there’s clear runway for improvement, but also a massive indictment on the goaltending approach

I swear I read somewhere (on the internet) that the Sabres have only scored less than 3 goals once this year. Are we in the record books yet?

There’s that thread thats lying in its title, ya 

Granted, the stat I mentioned includes “3”, it entails 3 or less goals. Which is why it’s so crazy imo, you should win games occasionally when scoring 3.

That just may say something about our defense/goaltending.

There's no doubt that the Sabres have the makings of an offense rivaling many of the old time teams. The problem is that they don't presently have a GT as capable as Grant Fuhr who made the HOF with something like a GAA of 3.38 and a save percentage of .887. Times have changed, eh? I can remember that the defense of his mediocre stats was that "he made the timely and important saves".

It would be interesting to know how that compares league-wide. I imagine not favorably.

It says a lot about our ability to stop pucks. While I'm a defender of the Sabre's rebuild plan and their approach to creating an offensive identity it sure would be nice to have avoided Comrie's injury and the need to be icing AHL defensemen.

Mittlestadt getting another opportunity to show something. Hoping he does.

Go goatheads!

I want Asplund to have a solid game so that DG has to consider scratching VO or Mitts when Skinner comes back. He isn’t scoring much but is not the liability those two are.

[Doohicksie]

@Doohickie reporting for duty.  What did I miss??

While I like Asplund it would be great if Mitts and Ollie play well enough to stay on the ice. 

[Doohicksie]

Craig looks fly in the black & red.

[Brawndo]

Nice hustle JJ

[Doohicksie]

Close the gaps, kids.  Close the gaps.

 

Giving the Kings way too much room.
