I was watching on ESPN last night, but for those who missed it, there was a goalie goal scorer last night….

 

 

Is it just me or have these gone from perfect game rarity levels to no hitter rarity levels?

Kucherov for Tampa. 3 games played.  1 goal in the first game. Hat trick in the 2nd. Another 2 tonight.

Scoring in every game, including a hat trick and a 2 goal game.

Who will be the first Sabres player to get both a hat trick and another multi-goal game this season? It took Kucherov 3 games, how long will it be before a Sabre does it?

  More importantly, the goal scoring leads to wins.  They beat legitimate teams in CAR, LV and VAN.  Amazing how good organizations can move on from star players and continue to win. The top line is fantastic, second line good and then JAG’s.   I recall questioning them trading for an aging McDonough. Yet there he is playing 20 minutes of shut down D with Cernak and sitting at a +4.  More and more likely the East will have one playoff spot available between 8 teams.

Kucherov is a star player.

Mitts was so poised on that breakaway. That's nice.

The Avalanche won their first game last night, but Georgiev was still awful. His best save percentage in a game so far this season is .861. Colorado has enough talent to overcome that on occasion, but this is trending way worse than NJD from last year. It's coach-firing, playoff-missing level.

Um, yeah. The point was after a terrible start we're just a point out. Thank you Captain Obvious.

Why would the terrible start give you any hope that the Sabres are a playoff team.

We go through this nonsense every fall of saying they are only x points out. It means nothing.

The record speaks for itself.

Sabres only six points out of first overall!

Sabrespace: "Look! only one point out! and we're behind Team A and Team B, so when we remember how to hockey, it is playoff city!"

TeamA-space: "Panic! we are only 1 point ahead of the sabres! Oh, but they super suck, so we'll leave them in the dust once we figure it out"

Thirteen years of empirical evidence suggests TeamA-space is far more likely to be correct.
