  1. Although they had 40 shots, Colorado had jumped out to a 4-0 lead mid way through the game. I watched a bit of it and the Aves were just chipping the puck out for the majority of the second half and played vintage Lindy Ruff Alamo mode. The number of shots was a bit deceiving.

  2. Since post deadline this is true. But currently this team is on a pace for 37 points. Last years team ended with 52 points and was dead last by a longshot. I think Carolina's disaster start to the season has some over-rating the points we're getting so far.

  3. I agree with you TBP (as what seems like per usual) but I don't think he will be used properly here. The way Ted is using him and his rep for not giving rookies big minutes I can't help but think sending him down and saving a year of his ELC is the right move. Give him big minutes down there and keep in constant contact with him in regards to his off ice training. Plus captaining Team Canada at the WJC will be a good experience. I know practicing with an NHL club could help him, this is still one of the worst in the league and he is playing under a coach who won't play him much come gametime.

  4. As others have pointed out Carolina has had some early season injuries and look considerably better than the Sabres in most stats categories (other than wins). I think the Canes will start to win some games soon. We're three points up (down?) with three more games played. It's a long year, I'm not ready to give up on this thing at Halloween.

  5. So my goaltending after last night has me in the lead 2-0, 1.00 - 5.46 and .958 - .830 in the goaltending categories (thanks Sabres ineptitude). I have my two goalie starts. Do I just not start my goaltending the rest of the week to ensure I win the save % and GAA or because his stats are so bad I should think about playing a tender in the right circumstance to try and work on my wins?

  6. I think TM has a plan and is playing it out right now. I can see why they want to keep Grigo down in Roch for a full year but IMO Pysyk and to a lesser extend McCabe have no business being down there. Having said that, this team is obviously not a playoff contender so lets just stay the course and let Pysyk and McCabe get big minutes on the farm to help develop their game further. If we were really in contention this year I think you would see those guys (especially Pysyk) up here.
