A win makes 12 wins in 26 games. The math isn’t mathing. Regardless, we’re going to take this one 5-2. Boys are buzzing.

I really like these lines. Outside the 4th line, any one of them can score.

Looking at the schedule they have a shot although they are a number of games on the road. Last two are the Wild and Utah they could be tougher. Never know what Islanders team shows up. That is next.

I like analytics and the eye test combined. The eye test tells you what type/style category a player falls into. This is important to note when it comes to roster construction. If you have 12 forwards with good analytics, but they all have the same skill set/playing style...your screwed. You need variability. A couple Doans here, a few Tages there and a handful of Benson's everywhere! You get the point... You need a GM that can identify player types with analytics to create the proper lines and pairings to compete league wide and season long....

Kevyn: “See guys? I told you so!”

I really doubt this is “coming to an end”. I hope this post doesn’t age well, but there has been a zillion of things KA has “tried” but never come to be. The only way around this is to just waive one of them and I don’t think KA has that in him.

There is little doubt that the team considers UPL their #1 for now, at least until he starts sucking again. Then he'll be their #? and the vicious cycle returns.

Re-energized by the norris return. I think they win this

LFG!

Until “analytics” can properly assess the HEART of a player, I don’t otherwise have much use for them. I don’t need to see numbers to tell me if a guy gives a crap about winning a game or sticking up for his teammates.

Let's Go, Buffalo! [deleted @deluca67 .500 comment.]

Predictions are like butt holes. Everyone has one but they all stink.

Ventura? You mean this guy?? That explains a lot...probably has them fill out a long animal questionnaire before making decisions😂😂

How do you know they aren't shopping him? Other teams scouts attend Sabres games regularly. And you are calling the 3- goalie thing a repeated mistake. Are you saying claiming Ellis off waivers was a mistake?

Maybe so but methinks I haven't seen a new Sabres goalie battle as hard to make a save as what Ellis does and with such quick agility to move around in the crease like he can do. Only time and more experience will tell if he becomes the elite goalie that methinks he can become, based upon what he's shown in his brief time here.

If Kevyn had the balls to strive for a much needed culture change, then IMHO it is clear he needs to move UPL out. UPL hasn’t been part of the solution for how many years now and I’d like to see his salary used for other talent. I’m not in the locker room, but what little I see tells me the guys like Lyon and Ellis more. Only the Sabres can keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again….in this case a 3 headed goalie monster.

Flyers seem to handle the Sabres with ease in most recent games...this has been a very ad and uncompetitive matchup for whatever reason, even when the Flyers were terrible also. Based on how the Flyers have beaten the brakes off them in most games recently where it's 3-0 in the first 10 minutes of the game half the time, probably a fair assessment.

I don't. Nothing suggests any conclusion to that effect.

Beyond the numbers, I think it has become clear over the last stretch of games that the team believes UPL is their #1.

Do you believe Levi is the best goalie in the Sabres system? Why? Also describe the "requisite roster moves" that would prevent the Sabres from losing assets?

60 points from a 4th line guy? Sign me up right now. What’s the top line getting, 200?

Colorado lost in regulation on 10/25. That’s it. It has been 39 days now. Can they make it to Christmas?
