This is very cool. Thanks for sharing. And I’m happy for Casey.

Olofsson had two great looks. Skinner had a great chance. Miller hit a post. There were chances. Just yesterday they scored multiple goals from scrambles at the net front. I see this team scoring goals and creating chances by getting the puck into high danger areas around the net. It’s a heck of a lot better than past teams where I watched them take 20 low danger shots from above the face off circles per game. I just don’t see what you are seeing. You think the Flyers had more high danger chances than the Sabres did tonight? I bet they didn’t. I’ll wager exactly one I toda so.

Last season the team had an above average SH% at 5 on 5 and league average overall. That was their best mark in many years. Is it Krueger’s fault that Olofsson didn’t bury those two open looks? I actually thought that they had good chances and the puck was in dangerous areas a lot.

Oh, I see. Yes, you agree that Krueger’s system is generating good chances, but it also are 100% certain that it doesn’t work. Maybe ease up on the “Krueger ruins all things offense” narrative?

I would hope anyone watching (or counting) can see that the team has generated a fairly good amount of offensive chances and zone control. I don’t know what you are watching.

It was a good game! Flyers post game talking about how they allowed a ton of good scoring chances to Buffalo.

Yup, 11 SOG in 4 games is not enough.

Extremely so. It’s a very controlled environment.

Yesterday they didn’t.

That one was just luck.

Hockey is the most stupidly random game ever invented by Canadians.

I actually think the Sabres have been plenty physical tonight. They aren’t getting bullied out there. Sheehan was bloodied because his teammate hit him with the puck in the face. Refs should consider calling a penalty for Flyers players who are trying to steal sticks from Sabres players.

That should have been a save.

No. Good teams have more games that they should win, because they are good at hockey. Sabres problem the past few years has not been losing games that they should win.

Questions and Conclusions: -Did Hutton get new feet too, or was it just the eyes? Both goalies playing well. -Sabres playing very well, controlling the zone and creating a lot of dangerous chances. Just put it in the net. -Jeff Skinner is fine. His line is fine. I’m willing to see more. -Isn’t Risto supposed to be goading the OTHER team into taking dumb penalties?

Yeah, just mail me a check.

You talking about the 1776 Commission report, or @LGR4GM’s post? Zing!

Gross.

This seems smart. I don’t think NHL teams rest players enough in general.

You found Raymond reruns more interesting than the best performance the Sabres had in a long time??? You got a little too used to not having hockey.

Sounds to me like possibly someone close to Ullmark over in Sweden is very ill (or something along those lines) and Ullmark is trying to decide if he needs to fly over there to be with them right now. I hope everything is fine, but I don’t get a good feeling from this.

What’s this about the Flyers not being ready? Why wouldn’t they be?

Oh sure, but it clearly was intentional in this case.

Yeah, not great, but better than striking another man in nose with a stick.

My mistake. Stick was in his hand and I thought he fought win with the stick. Thats not as bad. Still not great.
