  1. Positives:  

    - Legit victories that weren't just flukey bounces and legitimate 50+ minute efforts

    - Doan and Benson have helped drag some borderline players into the net front battle crew

    - Goaltending, minus UPL, has been solid

    - After an atrocious 0-3 to start the year we've bounced back with 4-1-2 including a shutout of the defending champs (yes I know they are banged up)

    - Timmons has been a hugely positive impact on the defensive play who brings what we had all hoped Clifton might bring (Clifton would get too hit happy and try to jump into offensive plays too much for a defensive stalwart)

    - Muel has reverted to the guy we all loved when he came up from Rochester

     

    Negatives:

    - Thompson has had a rough start to the year, thankfully he seems to be getting shots so its not 911 emergency levels

    - 4-4-2 is Average as a record, technically 5-3-2 is the bare minimum for a playoff pace when broken down to 10 game segments with 2 bonus games

    - OT looks impotent 

    - UPL came back early, then arguably lost us the Toronto game

    - Team still has a tendency to go into lulls where 3/4th the team plays on power saving mode

    - Injuries have yet again stabbed this team in the side; losing Norris in 1 game plus Dansforth and Kozak who have given solid depth hurt this team as a whole

     

    ???:

    - Power has played better as a whole with Timmons as his partner but still fails far to often when physical prowess/size is needed 

    - Dahlin's started ok; he looks somewhat distracted and or distant (honestly for understandable reasons) but is still a Top 4 D man with this handicap

    - AHL call-ups have been a mixed bag, happy Dunne scored though

  2. Sabres played well and deserves 2 points, but when your goalie decides to let in a softie to tie it in the 3rd and then the only shot in OT you aren't going to get 2 points.

    Power played good most of the night but fumbled it when it mattered which really sucks.

    Quinn was great but tried to give Thompson a 3rd instead of using his high tier shot

    Dahlin couldn't get his rangefinder working 

    UPL needs to make that save on Tavares; in OT your goalie has to give you at least 1 mulligan; the Leafs goalie gave them one.

     

    3 out of 4 ain't bad though, just keep working and piling up points.
