Assuming Sabres beat Columbus tomorrow, they will end up missing the playoffs by ONE point. 1 point behind Florida due to that loss to the Panthers just last week.
The reaction time between Levi and a 41 year old Anderson has never been more apparent after tonight. Anderson has had the post save him multiple times when he has been too slow reacting.
The PP has been struggling quite a while now. The power play has been bottom half of the league since the all star break. They were phenomenal the first half of the season.
It’s just mystifying how they haven’t tried to change anything up all year. Certainly a lot of the blame is the players and goaltending during the PK but when things aren’t working, that’s when coaches have to help out by changing things up in philosophy.
It’s actually shocking how many offsides are missed by linesmen. It’s their main job and they are routinely wrong and quite a few goals get called back each season.
Power play hasn’t been very effective the past few months after starting the first half of the season on fire. Obviously penalty killing has been abysmal all season
Usually the case, but they are in desperation mode now. If Granato plays another goalie and they get shelled, he will be second guessed all off season, including from inside the locker room. He has to ride with Levi I believe.
