Offsides? J/k!

Thread for OCD types who don't like reality. Let me know if I did my math right (as of BEFORE their 2.19 Ducks game), assuming 93pts makes the playoffs: 28 games remaining, 41 more pts. needed 18 games at ".500," with at least 4 being overtime losses [+22pts] 9 game winning streak, divided how you'd like (three 3-game winning streaks; one 4-game winning streak + one 5-game winning streak; etc.) [+18pts] 1 more OT loss [+1pt]

I play in a beer league (mostly 30/40/50yr olds), and there are plenty of female players. If anything, I see them get less sympathy from the refs than the men (they get pushed around and penalties not called, when it would get called against a male player). While that last bit is anecdotal, the female players don't ask for any special treatment. The female players on my team have been some of the best skaters I've played with. I think the idea of not allowing a female to play with men based on gender (in a recreational/"beer" league), is absolutely ludicrous, backwards, and not excusable in any culture deeming itself "modern"

IMO, this move only became the "right" move when UPL (and the Sabres defensive structure) proved it could provide adequate NHL goal prevention. IMO, this is symptomatic Adams and DG "learning on the job." They may have thrown away an entire season doing so. With that said, I hope they call Levi back up for back-to-backs, or if UPL needs a rest. Unless some think Comrie is better than we think, and the improved Sabres defensive structure could support him?

My take: If we had this tandem (Levi - UPL) last year, we would have made the playoffs Goaltending hasn't been great, but I don't think it's the source of our woes...

Why does Benson understand defensive positioning better than Power?

I was at the game. Looked like we coulda had it. We were pouring it on, but Shesterkin was in the zone. Then UPL went for a skate, and Dahlin didn't tie up the man in front.

possibly going to Sabres game. May watch some Bills on my phone, depending on how interesting the live game is...

Never thought I'd see that again

Not enough penetration

The fact that he's young is a big thing he has going for him

I don't know. Maybe in different situations where he's not coming in with so much speed. Maybe.

Yeah, thought he was in too tight to deke

We have a 1A and his name is Devon

Ah, I missed the word "all" where you wrote "It's not all about"

I think it's about both 😬

Credit DG where credit is due. Line combos were great, and decision to start Levi vs. LV finally shows some good decision making. Hopefully not the broken clock phenomenon.

That goal was very Skinner-esque

Amazing how far Mitts has come since the pull-up debacle!

YEAHHH!

What a snipe! Mitts also had a moment that shift where he looked like he was channeling Connolly

We have a #1 goaltender

Thank you. Anyone pointing to Levi's performance as anything other than giving us a chance to win is delusional

Anybody wishes it was UPL instead on that breakaway?

Eat your hearts out, non-believers!!!!!
