Analytics would support the eye test here but you have to look at multiple things. Shot maps are going to be the big one. https://www.hockey-reference.com/boxscores/201901180VAN.html#all_shotchart The Sabres played the better game offensively. They weren't even that bad defensively in that they limited the amount of Vancouver shots. But allowing three goals from right around the net: that is how you lose games. Vancouver did the same and that should have been enough to get Buffalo a win. The Sabres can't have teams scoring from the slot so much and expect to come away with wins. What Vancouver did last night (and got away with) is why they aren't good either.

They really can't keep giving up so many opportunities from high scoring areas. Every game is just a dice roll as to how many of those 10-14 chances end up in the net.

Would have liked Housley to pull the goalie a little sooner

I think Dahlin blasted Demko in the face with that

We are the worst at taking care of the slot. What the hell was Reinhart doing just standing there.

Yeah that's basically it.

I think this game is what the chart would classify as "fun".

It's not Ullmark's fault he's trying to point each eye in a different direction. Our defense has been super sketchy tonight.

Great work by Jack and Sheary on that goal.

Holy moly!

That was turrible. A pass to Risto there ain't it Lawrence. That puck needs to go up the boards.

We already had pizza tonight so that's not gonna work. She's had a busy week and today was crazy at work. I told her to go to bed but she's trying to be a good Sabres fan haha

Mittelstadt is good. Scandella sucks ass.

That's what Demko does

PP1 actually shot the puck and it almost worked. Neat. Kyle!

Josie is already passed out on the couch. She's dead to the world lol

I'd make that deal. I don't think Boston would though.

NyQuil and Yukon Jack

They really shouldn't be down two goals. The first one was acceptable but that second goal was inexcusable. Risto just let his man walk right into the middle of the ice and 3 other Sabres managed to lose one guy. Lackadaisical sequence in what was otherwise a pretty good period.

Vancouver giving us a lot of space in the neutral zone. Which is nice.

Traffic on long shots. Something the Sabres need to do more of.

I'll take that

I went from 60 down 10 up to 120 down 10+ up. That's crazy. I have a nice modem which I figured was more important and I just assumed my Spectrum service was crap. Turns out I was quite mistaken.

Finally decided to drop the money on a new internet router today. Our existing one still works but it's like ten years old and I was getting suspicious that it just didn't have the processing power to really let our connected devices shine. Sure enough, our internet connection speed through the new router is literally TWICE as fast. Honestly, I'm stunned the old router was choking things up that badly.
