    I know our goaltending sucks but keep this in mind except for last night we would have had to hold our opposition to 2 goals or less in any game we lost in regulation. I don't think we could improve the goaltending enough to overcome most of these games where we are not scoring 4 goals. Yes I do think we need a left winger that can score goals. I was not against the Peterka trade but with Doan coming back on the right side we lost the scoring balance that is needed to have effective lines. It's hurting us. 

    Sabres scoring in loses breakdown.

    zero goals 3

    one goal     4

    two goals   5

    three goals  5

    4 goals         1   (last night)

    You are focused on a tree. The Buffalo Sabres have to cut 14% of the goals against the are giving up. That's the issue, they score at a rate similar to HALF of the playoff teams and have goals scored against them at NO rate near a playoff team. Peterka being gone doesn't unbalance anything because of how wings are run.  The line balance and scoring is not the problem, this team has to go from 290 goals against to 250. The lines being balanced with or without JJ or another LW is not the issue here. This team gives up too many goals against, period. 

    But also ... like @Jorcus proved @LGR4GM's point ... The Sabres have given up 103 GA ... a 20% reduction is TWENTY fewer goals against. Surely, if you spread that over the any of the losses, it results in more points. Yes, they probably would have given up fewer goals in some of the wins ... but there is no way giving up 20 fewer GA does not result in 4-6 more points in the standings, which <checks math> would put them within 1 or 2 points of the wild card.

    Actually 20% would be kind of absurd ... it would put them somewhere around 6th fewest GA in the conference. But a boy can dream!

    I have played on some pretty inept beer league teams, but these are supposed to be professionals - there is just so much BAD HOCKEY oozing out of these guys.

    Every player on the team needs to be better. But they are as sloppy and unstructured as any Sabre team I have seen. They are playing to a 73 point pace and trending down. This is going to get very ugly. 

    Meanwhile the Loaves are somehow 2 pts out of first all of the sudden???

    I think it's more, Terry is getting PO'd about the cash hemorrhaging that his lap dog GM produces, and is forcing certain decisions, ala personnel, which IMO is a TERRIBLE way to manage a squad's "assets." 

    And, around and around we go 😵‍💫

    The 👏 Sabres  👏 don't 👏 lose  👏 money!!! Please stop. It has been shown time and time again that the Sabres have a decently positive net operating income each year. Could they be raking in considerably MORE if they would stop sucking? Sure. But they don't lose money.

    That used to be the old school indicator. Everybody could win at home, but the good teams, the playoff teams, were the ones who could win on the road. 

    It changed a little because originally the rinks were so different in sizes and quirks the home teams truly had home advantage and now uniformity makes that less special  but maybe the old adage still applies to some extent. 

    Don't some of the European soccer leagues use the 3-2-1 scoring system?
