Jesus, some dumb stuff.... Jays don't blow it

Just a smidge.

Nah, let's not keep Yesavage in. You're Schneider. You know better. What an *****.

Excellent

5-7 is not over .500. The Sabres got fewer points than their opponents did in those games. That is losing hockey, but at least it was something.

Keen observation. Malenstyn has a limited but specific role that he does very well. His PK contribution shouldn’t be discounted.

Tight game

It's the subtitles (like, what you've mentioned, above) that are now positives, that have been negatives in (recent) seasons past If enough of these become positives, good things will come (I hope 😉)

But yeah, that line is better with Kozak at C and Krebs on the wing.

Dunne has been pulling his weight too though. Not making many mistakes, playing a physical game.

You’re right, they’ll never be 100% healthy.

You know why.

Agree on Krebs. And Malenstyn has been solid as well in his role. Kozak makes that a quintessential NHL 4th line imo.

And I wasn't talking about any of that. My comment was simply we're over .500. Which we are.

That's hogwash and you know it.

13 out of 24 is 6 points over a .500 in season. Since 2010 no teams playing in a full NHL season has made the playoffs with that percentage. But technically it’s .500+ percentage points so it has some kind of feel good factor to some people. 5-4-3 pace over 82 games put you with teams that are 5-8 pave over 82, your watching the playoffs but with a higher draft pick.

And yet if they are ever 100% healthy, Geerston will still somehow be in the roster.

Yeah, I felt he would be an NHLer this year; he's proven he is in my mind. Since he's been out Krebs has done well centering the 4th line. I think the depth they've called upon from Rochester at the very least hasn't hurt them and often helps them.

I will never understand why we always have to have this winning percentage argument. All I know is that I sure am glad the Sabres went 3-0-3 over the last 6 instead of 4-2-0.

Actually Rosen looked quite good. He was involved in the play and went to the net often. Greenway introduced himself to half of the Caps. 😂 Watching Ovi, especially on the power play, he's a total slug. The reason the Sabres were able to clear the zone on his point was because he barely tried to stop the puck. Ovi only exerts himself when he's getting in position for a one-timer.

In conversation, it's kind of a verbal tick that Rayzor has. Other announcer: "The team played well this period." Rayzor: "No, you're right." I think he doesn't do it as much as he used to, but he earned that meme. And yet here you are, dying on it.

I see this a lot here. What’s the story behind this one??

I will say this: Even in the sequences where they were fighting it and the Caps were carrying the play, they were a lot harder to play against than in years past. Better positioning, better sticks on the lanes, more determination on loose pucks and even if they lost them, being disruptive enough that Washington had trouble doing anything with the puck.
