    Tomorrow night.

    If DG keeps putting KO on the PP someone will eventually bank one one off of him.

    The 2nd unit is the only one able to even get in the zone so the thought of them getting shots that are at least hitting players that are net adjacent make me feel okay about things because that's progress.

    Hope 1, 2 and 4 stay intact and 3 coalesces into Savoie Cozens Krebs.

    Peyton has been one of the disappointments for me so far and Cozens has been very inconsistent, but that's combo that should be able to push the pace the way Donnie wants them to play, especially against 3rd pairings.

    I've been on board the "VO needs to move on" train, but I have to admit i am mildly surprised at how ineffective he's been.

    He's dropped to something like 16/17 on the forward depth chart. He's better than that.

    Would rather see Jost on that line over Krebs. I haven't seen anything from Krebs this year that shows me he should be playing with our blue chip prospects.

    You realize the PK being so good is going to do far more to help us than the PP being bad is going to hurt us right?  They will eventually get the PP rocking again, they have far too much talent not to.  The PK at 90% has been amazing and they have looked the part too.

    Yeah but I want the power play from last year combined with the PK from this year.

  4. We're 10 games into the season and decided to take a look at stats to date: https://www.nhl.com/sabres/stats

    Some observations:

    • Skinner leads the team with 10 points (5+5), 3 players have 9 points (Mitts, Dahlin, Thompson)
    • The only two skaters to not register a point yet are Bryson (2 games) & Oloffson (6 games)
    • Owen Power leads the team with in the plus category with +9
    • Connor Clifton leads the team in the minus category with a -6
    • I only see 3 PP goals notated. Last year our power play was electric and last year it balanced out the atrocious PK. This year we've flipped a switch. The sputtering special teams play is going to cost us games. It needs to get going.
    • UPL (4 gp) has the highest sv% of .926, followed by Comrie (3gp) .914 and Levi has fared the worst with .892. Team defense has been getting stronger as we've gotten into the season so it'll be interesting to see what Levi can do with the team playing well in front of him. 
    • Brandon Biro is shooting at 100% 2 for 2.
    • Peyton Krebs has played all 10 games and has only taken 5 shots and put up a lone assist. I can see him becoming the new whipping boy of the team if he doesn't get his game going.
    • Jost's faceoff performance is 52.6% which is the highest amongst forwards who probably have taken multiple face-offs. Tage (45.6), Mitts (40.8) and Zemgus (38.5) need to be better.
