Statistically, we’ll know by American Thanksgiving.
They were in a playoff spot on American Thanksgiving last year ...

I’m just saying he doesn’t seem himself out there and I think his mind is obviously elsewhere. He’s producing but he is making a lot of uncharacteristic mistakes out there too
I was actually thinking he was pressing a bit early on when nothing was working for the team. He seems to be a bit more relaxed now that he sees everyone is finally chipping in. I seem to recall several "WTF?" moments with him last year, too. High risk, high reward.
That said - I feel for the guy ... what they went through, I cannot even begin to fathom. ❤️

6 points in 8 games ... most teams kill for that kind of production on D.

I think back to the Otters game. They looked like the team of the first 3 games early on. Sluggish, no energy, sloppy passing. Claude Jeer-roo slashes Power after the play and calls him a "wet dog" (?), big scrum ... different team after that. It was like they suddenly remembered they could crash into players on the other team.

Who had ... Sammy and Tage tied in the goal department after 8 games?

Matt Savoie with his first NHL point last night.
I thought he had one last year?
-
didn't we get a "middle 6 C" for Savoie? A rando midget prospect?

Josh Doan looks like a real middle 6 piece, I wish I knew that at the time of the JJP trade
The hustle and effort from Doan, Benson and McLeod tonight was terrific. Need to see more of that, from more players and more consistently
Benson brings it every night, it’ll be nice to have him back. Greenway does similarly in a less skilled way, he’ll be very much welcomed as well. Not saying that Greenway is a game breaker by any means, but he’s criminally underrated in what he does contribute
Doan won two puck battles that directly led to goals. More please!!

Bryson sucks again ...

Someone had Quinn on their Bingo card!

I know I will jinx it - but just saw Power throw two actual hits

The Sabres need their "Major League" moment. Maybe the whole lot of them need glasses to see the puck better? A cardboard cutout of a nekked GM Howdy Doody, except they get to put clothes ON IT when they win.
-
If the Sabres had this last year ... playoffs:
Yeah, I know ... three games - but a boy can dream, right?
Again, small sample - but last year .919% gets you 7th in the league ... but the 2.73 was middle of the road - tells you the Sabres are giving up waaaaay too many shots.

I will take this loss on my shoulders. I polled the crowd and was told to wear my white throwback jersey, when I knew in my heart the right answer was red goat head practice jersey.
Sorry everyone - it won't happen again.

Help me pick my fit for watching tonight's game in my basement ...
Dark blue Eichel #15? Red goat head practice jersey? White throwback from before they switched to the goat?

Tyler Bertuzzi currently leading the NHL in points ...
Edit: They changed the scoring now Bertuzzi, Nazar, and Teravainen all have 2 pts each.

A quick search with results from sportrac claims McDavid makes/made $6m per year in endorsements, Matthews $5m
I put this together in US$ (sorry, local currency here):
I found the % of league average to be interesting. Note that Curry's number includes some of him owning a stake in some company.

I’d love to know how much the best player on the face of the earth makes in endorsements. If there’s anyone who can afford to leave money in the table, it’s that guy. The only real shocker there is that he just signed on to be the second highest paid player on that team.
32 minutes ago, mjd1001 said:I wonder if he makes more or less than Matthews, with Matthews probably getting a lot more 'local money' being in Toronto vs Edmonton...with Toronto's metro population and wealth/GDP being...maybe 4 or 5 times what Edmonton is?
Considering I read the average american (and probably canadians are close?) will earn somewhere around $1.6M for their entire working career ... i think they can ALL "afford" to leave money on the table.
It would be even more interesting to see how the top earners from each sport compare to each other. Is it proportional to league average salaries? Proportional to TV contracts? Totally unrelated?

It is simply conflating two different terms, like the other poster said.
Winning percentage - no, they are 5-7; they have only WON 41.67% of their games - not above 0.500. "simple math" as another poster stated.
Points percentage - yes, they have gotten 13 of 24 possible points; 54.2% of available points thus far. 89 point pace, in a down year for the league, that gets you near the wild card.
The NHL website even calls is "P%", not "W%".
