  1. Yeah. Regression was inevitable.
  2. ^ Dahlin is damn near in a free fall. Maybe Sweden will straighten him out.
  3. Fwiw, I caught much of the third, and it looked like the Sabres were on the back foot for almost all of it.
  4. Actually the chart is not inconsistent with what you said, now that I’m looking at it.
  5. At a kid’s sporting event. Are we seeing #ScoreEffects? Or are Sabres the better squad?
  6. What do you make of the #fancystats that paint Arizona as a very good team thus far?
  7. It's apparent that other teams have seen something in the Bills' D scheme that is susceptible to runs up the middle. Both Miami (!!!) and Philadelphia ran rough shod over the Bills. They'd better get it right ASAP, or the slide will continue.
  8. Agreed. That abstract-ish Coyotes logo was/is fresh as hell. Appropriate to the region as well.
  9. I'm not overly concerned with a loss to the Eagles. The Eagles have been truly mercurial this season -- at times looking like a Super Bowl contender, at others looking like a dumpster fire. The Bills got the former version, IMO. Also, I think the Bills coaching staff got their arses handed to them pretty decisively. It happens. The Bills D is maybe not as good as had been hoped (hyped). And their O is about as bad as had been feared. Still, the team can/should make the playoffs. Which would be nice.
  10. The charts tell me that the Coyotes are good -- as in, really good, so far. And they've done that after missing out on the 2 big prizes in the 2015 draft. Let's go, Buffalo. Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
  11. How long is he obliged to stay there?
  12. Ducks got some d-man from the Penguins.
  13. Yeah. I don't understand that chart. What's the length represent? The colour(s)?
  14. That’s what the colouring is for, I think?
  15. Word. I think it's why it's becoming such a go-to #fancystat. Btw, I saw an xG graph today (pasted below). Skinner's right there near the top. So is McDavid. No sign of Eichel, obviously. (/ducks, runs) Also, I do not understand the colours of those bars, nor what ixG is. [EDIT: Wait, is that just "individual"? Anyway, I don't understand the colours.]
  16. I'm not yet sure. The SAT share was good, but I haven't seen the shot maps. My sense from watching was that the Sabres needlessly surrendered several very high quality chances. You can dominate in Corsi and lose most games if you're gonna do that.
  17. Scandella presumably. He left the game last night and didn't return. My bad. He did return. But he looked banged up.
  18. Let's go, Buffalo! This is a terrific opportunity to erase the memory, taste of a bad, weird, clunker game.
  19. They've been somewhat lucky. But there's also a part of that "luck" that they have created -- with quality chances and sometimes keeping the other team's shots to the perimeter.
  20. I agree on the Dahlin take. He'll recover. On balance, though, the game struck me as a weird one. 6-2? Really? The Sabres weren't that badly outplayed, for the most part. In fact, they had the better of play for several stretches of time. They did make a handful of BRUTAL errors, that led to goals. Time to get right tonight. The timing's actually ideal -- hopefully.
