Corsi is pretty much the same as its always been.. 2017: 48.5 2018: 47.8 2019: 48.0

I mean do they? I think this is one of those things that people think the Sabres are the only team that ever suffers from this...Toronto was up 4-1 in the 3rd period against the Canadiens the other day and lost 6-5 in a S/O. Last time I checked the Leafs are a pretty damn good team. Can we please just stop with the "the Sabres are the only team in the NHL that doesn't play 60 minutes every night" or "the Sabres are the only team in the NHL that gives up 2 goal leads in the 3rd period" narratives? It is completely incorrect and just frustrating to keep reading when clearly other teams have a lot of the same issues to varying degrees.

Nobody plays 60 minutes every game.

Ehh...it was up and down more than off...they outshot Montreal 39 to 27. Columbus was an off game.

Couldn't have asked for a better start than that.

Wow...that sucks...i really liked Hamilton and his insights... With all their damn commercials you'd think they could afford to keep his coverage

Not many games the Sabres will have 27 or 28 missed/blocked shots and only 18 shots on goal either.

Well that was pretty much the result that we deserved so we can't be too upset...we stole a point. Move on to the next game, we just didn't have it tonight.

We got a point but i don't think we deserved it...PP is absolutely lethal this year... Now try and steal the other point and get the heck outta Dodge

And a very desperate team after getting whacked by the Pens 7-2 the other night.

Sensed that one coming...Sabres seemingly are out of gas

The thing i like most about them is they don't try and hide their mistakes and leave the player on the roster to try and justify his draft pick status. They simply admit their mistake and move on getting what they can for the player. Its hard to do but very necessary when they preach that everything a player gets on their team is earned.

Wow!! That was impressive...

A beautiful PP goal on the rush. Sheary to Johannson...

That was pretty...so pretty.

Let's see what happens in period 2.

Looking like a good prediction so far...

2 games of domination start to finish...

More impressive than their scoring has been their smothering of shot attempts in both games

Im not sure i saw this many breakaway passes in half a season last year...its unbelievable how many clear cut chances they are generating by being aggressive at all ends of the ice...

Leadership and direction from the coach means a lot more than most people give credit for. Like anything, good coaches help players reach their potential...poor coaches help players stay far away from their potential... I'm telling you this team is going to be far better than people think...and it starts with leadership from the coach.

They are all over the ice again...fun to watch

Hard isn't the word i would use....they were up 4-0 at home...totally and completely unacceptable are what i would call it.

Ive never understood why teams have morning skates? Let the players rest...there is time for that in pregame warmups... Overuse and muscle fatigue will likely tempee any gains from it and it will likely end up causing more injuries late in the year.
