From the Sabres PR Game Preview linked in the OP:

 

TRENDING UPWARD

 

In the 18 games since Ted Nolan was hired, the team has taken 47.7% of all shots in their games (a minus-2.8 differential per game), up from 40.2% (a minus-12 differential per game) in the 20 games before his hiring.

 

Four Sabres have a positive on-ice shot differential with the team this season: Ennis (54.2%), Moulson (52.7%), D’Agostini (52.5%), Leino (51.5%)

 

The team has improved its team 5-on-5 Corsi for Percentage* from 35.6% before Ted Nolan’s hiring to 47.1% in the 18 games under his guidance. The 11.5% improvement is a significant mark, larger than the amount (11.2%) that currently separates the third- and 30th-ranked teams in the NHL.

 

*Corsi for Percentage: The percentage of all shot attempts (shots on goal/missed shots/blocked shots) in 5-on-5 situations which are taken by the team. (Data via ExtraSkater.com)

OOOH there's a keeper. The worst team in franchise history card set... rush the gates, don't miss out

 

No doubt branded with a sponsor's logo, too. Still, it's a nice thing for the kids or whatever.

Programming note: With 5 pm start, no #Sabres morning skate today. So no lineup updates until we get Nolan pregame.

With the results coming from Doohickie's, in his own words, lame GDT, I'm happy that 26CB is back on duty.

 

Another beaut of a GDT, my friend.

 

I predict a big win for the good guys.

 

GO SABRES!!

 

Thanks SFNS, trying to keep things interesting and informative in this very long season.

How are the bills and Sabres both playing at the same time? Just stupid.

 

The Bills had no say since the NFL "flexed" the game to 4:25 PM to protect the integrity of playoff scenarios. The Sabres could have adjusted to earlier or later than 5:00 PM to accommodate the fans.

I'm not sure the Sabres could have done much without pissing off a lot of people who planned their day around visiting families and then going to the game.

 

The solution: sports bar.

and neither matters.... really stupid

 

 

Well, the Bills might have a stronger chance at making the playoffs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know there is no way the Bills can make the playoffs, it's a joke.
