I'm trying to do the math in my head. In a closed 8 team division .500 should be the dividing line between 4th and 5th place. But the OTL point throws a wrench in that. 63 is 7 better than .500 this year. Is that enough?
Like Taylor Hall seems to be? He looks more like the driver on the top line than Eichel. Maybe Jack is still a little injured and needs to get his legs but he doesn't look like the Eichel of yore quite yet.
I thought they played fairly well, even in some of the early losses. But I thought I saw a little of that "Sabres suck" Classic last night on defense. You know, getting bottled up in our end turning the puck over.
