Pretty good game so far, but I'm a little worried about the 4 players without a point tonight. I'm looking at you Tuch, Power, Gilbert, and Bryson. We need a full team effort to win games going forward. Might be time to have them sit upstairs for a few games

That would be an interesting stat, i.e., the last time every player on the roster had at least one point in a game. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Did you know that if you go to NHL.com to look at the boxscore during an intermission, the Game Summary screen shows little animated Zambonis going around the rink?

That's fun.

Good job, NHL.com!

You just now noticed that?

Don't get carried away.  A game at a time.  I'll let you know if we're good in April.

This. Let us not forget those random games in past seasons when we beat Vegas or Boston or (fill in the blank with a good team) only to then play like they had it all figured out and reverted back to lazy, uninspired tendencies.

Yes, that has been the best part about watching Sabres games for the past <insert large number here> seasons.

Sabres completely being outplayed according to Moneypuck.  Expected goals only .62.

That's when you know what you are actually watching is completely different from what advanced analytics will tell you and why so many in hockey don't pay much attention to them.

 

Nobody watching this game would say anything other than the Sabres are going straight B2A against the Rangers.

So...

Yeah. I usually do ESPN because I can toggle to MLB or NFL games if they're concurrent, despite ESPN being garbage with hockey. But, Zucker didn't have an assist on the Greenway goal on ESPN, so I went to the NHL site.

When we knock the Bruins out of the playoffs it is going to be a tough day for you.

Shocked. Buffalo has carried the play all night. Good example of why you don't look at xgf in a vacuum

NST has xGF .75-.74 for the Sabres through two periods 

Little surprised it was that low. Their goals have been high quality shots.
