[What has caused the most improvement in the team lately?]

I heard on WGR that our 5x5 goaltending during the good stretch has been top 3 in the league. That is it... I'm not sure much else has changed between shots/puck luck/scoring, but better goaltending seems like its been the difference, especially when you consider we're just forcing overtimes, not winning outright.

 

Still have a long way to go. Maybe we can win by two goals sometime!

[Fixing the Sabres Long-Term - Can it be done?]

Put Eichel at wing. Way too much processing happening with and without the puck. Team needs a shakeup, that might do it.

Not crazy about the change. Navy was a nice look.

[Pet Peeve -- NHL standings de-emphasize total losses]

Sorry everybody, I didn't want to present myself as a "get off my lawn"-er.

Some people got the idea of what I meant.

I'd also like them to get rid of the overtime point. Wins and losses...

[Pet Peeve -- NHL standings de-emphasize total losses]

"In the last 10 games we're 6-2-2!!"

No, it's 6-4 guys. Those "OT losses" ARE LOSSES. If you want to talk about the points, then just say we've taken 14 out of a possible 20 points in the last ten games.

It makes everybody think we're better than we are. Honestly we're a borderline wild card team that I don't see making the playoffs this year. We're not setting the world on fire...
