    That outcome was predictable. One team was skating hard and winning puck battles while the other seemed content with playing for OT. 

    As soon as this team starts building any kind of momentum they just piss it all away. These are the kinds of losses that you look back at as the reason why we can't get to the playoffs. 

    Bisonette said it clearly, the Sabres have a lot of bad habits that they repeat.

  2. We have 10 points after 10 games.  An 80 point pace won’t stop the drought.  Starting with 3 losses in a row is a problem.  

    I think this team can be better.  The slow starts.  Still a lack of urgency and know how.   The last two games they had the win at hand and failed to finish.  

    Kids like Kulich, and especially Östlund, are not ready for the roles they are in.  But we have no choice  

    Kesselring gets a thumbs up rating tonight in his debut.   He had some rust but he got better as the game went on.  Looks promising.

    Those charts have no labels, no key, no context. How do expect anyone to understand what you're trying to communicate?

    This is how the DoD looks at metrics:

    big stacks good, little stacks bad 

    red bad, yellow caution, green meets the spec, blue even better

  4. I am going to say something that will not be popular. 

    UPL is going to get a fair look and he will get every benefit of the doubt.  They have invested in him and he has a big contract.   That one day conditioning assignment tells us something about the kid glove treatment he is getting.   This 3 man goalie thing could take awhile.  

    Ellis is pretty much an unknown as an NHL goalie and his path could be similar to Levi's - good games mixed with bad, with ups and downs.  Ellis is going to have to really be promising to take over the #2.  

    Unless there is a GM out there that wants UPL in trade, he is not going anywhere soon.   I would think more GMs would gamble on Ellis before taking UPL and his contract.
