That’s clearly not what he said though. You are just misrepresent it now. Can we discuss this honestly? He said (many times) that they are trying to get a goalie, and now that they are into the negotiating phase on some goalie out west but nothing is imminent and we’ll see what happens. Maybe Chad will find out the same time that we do. Maybe he will find out a little before hand, he has a couple times in the past. Why are you getting bent out of shape that someone is sharing what he knows on Twitter?

Nolan or Ruff? If you are looking at a team from 25 years ago, I think you’ve missed the league changing around you.

Didn’t he get benched just last game?

When was this full season of good performance from Dahlin? Last season? He had something like an entire month+ last season where he had miscues all over the place and people here were ripping him to shreds. By the end of the season he was playing really well.

You think that they might NEVER open areas to 100% capacity?! I feel confident that this will happen by around Thanksgiving.

They are the same age. They were drafted 2nd/3rd in the same draft.

No thanks. Keep the 18 year olds in. They don’t need to be kept out just to protect NHL teams from themselves. Keep the draft this summer, suck it up this year. Have the draft camp or whatever you need to get a look at the guys.

I guess the alternative is that you don’t want him to tell you when he knows something is going on. He didn’t redact anything.

Maybe just stop reading his tweets if you don’t like them. Or if you can’t help yourself from reading more into it than what he actually wrote. The tweet said they had made some progress, nothing is imminent, we’ll see what happens. Then when he follows it up with “whoa, slow down everyone, this thing isn’t done and it’s probably more likely to not happen than get done.” Then you get mad.

Oh that’s right! Forgot that Bales had Fleury before. Fleury isn’t awesome, but his solid. An actual useable NHL goalie.

Laine is of course great at scoring goals, but he seems like an awful fit for Columbus/Torts. Maybe Columbus is hanging the fact out there that teams need to beat that offer of Laine+ while secretly not really wanting Laine.

How do you know this? Who has reported that?

Sabres 4 - Caps 1 Rasmus with a goal.

Yeah, that hypothetical team probably would be dominating possession and generating goals, but their quality per shot attempt wouldn’t be very good.

I think this is a game where Buffalo needs to stay focused and not get distracted by Caps shenanigans. Caps will probably try to turn this into an uneventful slog and might ratchet up the physicality. Buffalo needs to focus on executing.

Ah, thanks, got it. I forgot HR had that.

Hypothetically scenario to clarify: If a team is leading the league in total shots, with an average number of high danger chances per game and a ton of low danger chances, all those low danger chances will drag down the quality per shot and make their quality per shot low, even if they are generating a pretty good number of high danger chances. So I’m wondering how the Sabres rank in high danger chances per game, as opposed to quality per shot, which that chart presents.

Sorry if you don’t have an answer, but do you know how the Sabres rank in scoring chances for and high danger chances for? I see that this shows the quality per shot is low, but if they are taking lots of low quality shots, but also getting a good number of high danger chances, that’s going to dilute the quality per shot.

Has anyone ever been able to divine so much from watching 4 hockey games? I think not.

I actually agree with this. Asplund could very well be ahead of Mitts in the hearts and minds of the organization, but they are very different players, so it hard to say. Could just depends what type of player Ralph wanted to add to the lineup.

It’s to make sure that teams have some extra fill in players around in case a few guys have to out on short notice. That way they don’t need to postpone games. What part of it is not making sense to you? (I say this without any malice or condescension in tone.)

You are thinking of LTIR. IR is just 7 days, I believe, and usually short term.

I think he has not been impactful. A little disappointing so far. Not terrible though, apart from that one terrible turnover. He seems to have most just been around. I would expect him to get better in coming games.

Someone wasn’t paying attention in class.
