  1. The ratio of dump-ins to carry-ins. Carolina carried it in 53% of the time, we only did so 46% of the time. Also, the asymmetric distribution of dumps vs carries down the roster is something I had hoped people would pick out: our carry-in percentage was largely driven by a few players, whereas their's is fairly consistent even among their secondary players. In fact, they have secondary players carrying it in more frequently than some of our top players. Speaks to coaching and system.
  2. An example of some of the microstat tracking out there, conveniently from the Sabres/Canes game: https://theenergyline.wordpress.com/2017/01/14/car-5-buf-3-1172013/ Note the zone entry stats, and how much more likely Carolina was to carry it in compared to us: Anyone really want to tell me that Ryan O'Reilly isn't talented enough to carry it in more frequently than Brett Pesce?
  3. I'm actually okay with Bailey going down, he's been turd-like for a few games now. But Baptiste should absolutely be up and playing above Deslauriers.
  4. Totally disagree. Every day Bylsma is coach is, at best, a wasted day of development for the team.
  5. I hate Bogo, but the guy has wheels. So does Kulikov. Our D has some serious problems, but when healthy, I don't think speed is one of them.
  6. Nolan Patrick with 2G 2A in his first game back from injury. Maybe this is the year we get some lottery luck.
  7. Brian Koziol ‏@BrianWGR 39m39 minutes ago Bylsma: "We're playing a quick team and playing with the puck and managing the puck is such a huge factor, they used it to their advantage" This. Risto's minutes. ROR's minutes. Eichel/Kane oil/water. It's like he knows what he's supposed to do, but hasn't the slightest idea how to go about doing it. He'll regularly say smart things, but in practice, does things totally contradictory to what he says. It's maddening.
  8. Probably for the best, that was a pretty desperate one. My sarcasm detector's alarm is currently desfening.
  9. I've never wanted meddlesome owners so much in my life!
  10. Trying to get his coach fired. .... I hope.
  11. I wish I had a rebuttal. I do not.
  12. Or dare I say....descussion?
  13. Hey, you started the Deslauriers conversation up :p
  14. You pun people are desplorable.
  15. ...so do bad minds :nana:
  16. It's almost as if the hail mary being the preferred option is inefficient, or somesuch. I'd really rather not :lol:
  17. I'm happier that Cam Ward looked like a total loser on that goal than I am that we scored.
  18. I can't believe Girgensons dropped that to O'Reilly. Why in the world would you risk such a play on a PK rush? Bleh.
  19. No, I don't. But he sounded unequivocally supportive. Oh man, I forgot about that whopper. I disagree with your conclusion, however. He sounds like a guy who had no problem identifying the flaws in the previous guy's players and jettisoning them, but now that the roster is mostly his acquisitions, it's not so easy to say the roster is flawed.
  20. Not (insert Sabre here) best game.
  21. Nylander. Next year. I'm not buying the nay sayers regarding his readiness.
  22. You'll get no arguments from me :lol:
  23. ...should I call 911?
  24. The wheels. They've come off.
  25. Lehner would be getting crushed for allowing those goals.
