Is that not a lesser Jack metric?

Does he have any real sources? He claims it’s in discussions with the ‘higher ups’, but only the owners are higher than Botterill...

Seems like a drastic difference over some puck bounces, especially after we played without 2/6 top 6 players for a quarter of the season. It really should come down to whether they’re playing good hockey or not. Last two years were borderline hopeless with some positive development out of some at least. This season is good hockey with bad goalies and special teams killing them and injuries on a thin forward corp being a lost gamble. I’m hard pressed to see Botterill leave unless we lose out and the team gives up

Tage will be ready next year, whether 2nd or 3rd line is the question. When he isn’t with Sobotka and teenage Mittelstadt I wouldn’t worry as much about his flaws being so exposed. He improved in the AHL quite well last year

I think generally he only shows up when the team is losing. When the team is playing well he’s invisible.

The GMs riding on internal talent are playing well. The ones who didn’t have a pipeline are struggling. imagine that. trading away all our 1st rounders and having no depth makes the GM a few years later have a tough time. These threads are exhausting.

This is the thing. You are NOT presenting the stats. You are presenting the graphical representations of the models. Give me a Rsq and a p value OF THE MODELS WITH WINNING and I might give your little tirades more thought than they currently deserve.

I think if we traded Reinhart for a real forward these graphs would fix themselves quick. Plus give it time for the recent trades to build up numbers

It’s called grasping at straws and lipstick on a pig

Now show me Scandella last season vs Scandella this season and tell me how those stats are meaningful ? hint: they’re not. Plotting models doesn’t mean they match up with reality

Frustrating loss but if they play like that down the stretch then playoffs are a lock. Hope for the if

***** refs jobbed us. That was our game. Weak calls ruined them

***** these worthless refs. No call on blatant trip then they call that with 4 min left? Criminal

That Jost line causes problems

The struggling line creates traffic and gets a dirty goal. If that line is producing were in good shape

Buffalo is playing far too good for refs to steal thebtame

That’s the weakest slashing call I’ve ever seen

YAAAAAS LETS GLO!

Team is playing like they care. Great to see Dont pretend Botterill didn’t send a message buying like he did. The team heard it clear

He’s also going to get needless penalties leaving his feet

Buffalo is dominating through the first break. Wayne and Skinner already showing off their potential chemistry.

Skinner hat trick. Bandwagon wheels break before Friday

They’re actually playing good hockey this season that can beat any team as long as the goalie shows up and plays at least average. Oh and that’s with Skinner being quiet. Unlock him and they’re a competitive team

Nah. He was always slated for a 2nd line role here and could never hold onto the puck long enough to be successful. He went elsewhere with 3rd/4th line expectations and contributed to that level

Bogosian a -2 in a one goal loss, screwing over Buffalos playoff chances. Thanks Bogo you useless ***** won’t even make it to the playoffs before they smarten up and waive you
