wjag Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) It's #27 versus #30. Edmonton has 32GF compared to Buffalo's 17GF. Edmonton has allowed 48GAA compared to 45GAA for Buffalo. This one has McDavid implications. Edmonton enters on a 4 game skid. A regulation loss by Edmonton would have them swap league standing position with Buffalo. Buffalo would surge to at least 29th. Columbus plays Carolina in a match up between 29th and 28th. So there could be changes at the bottom of the league after tonight, Edited November 7, 2014 by wjag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sicknfla Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Games like this really exemplifies how crazy this entire tank situation is. Today in the morning skate Nolan is getting the guys fired up and ready to win a hockey game. Meanwhile, everyone else in the organization from GMTM to TP is hoping for a loss. Seriously how could any player want to be a part of this organization? For that matter how could any coach with pride want to coach in this organization?

Seriously how could any player want to be a part of this organization? For that matter how could any coach with pride want to coach in this organization? Probably one of the x amount of reasons Nolan was hesitant to sign on as the official head coach. I'm sure he's concerned he'll be kicked to the curb when the Sabres begin to make a turn for the better in the upcoming seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm hoping for. Kick him to the curb even before the season is over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Sounds like Enroth will be back in net. I think the Sabres should win this one. I bet they get 4 goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Sounds like Enroth will be back in net. I think the Sabres should win this one. I bet they get 4 goals. The most curious thing about Enroth. 26-41-13 lifetime and 0.913 save. He's LOST twice as many games as still has a .913. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tell anyone this because it is a secret, but Enroth is actually a solid #1 GT. If he were 6'1" instead of 5'10" this would even be a debate but sadly it is.

If he were 6'1" instead of 5'10" this would even be a debate but sadly it is. I actually think he's a solid backup. I don't believe save percentage until someone has seen at least 3000 NHL shots. He's getting there. Just my bias, but I don't think his numbers would hold up with 50-60 starts in a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I actually think he's a solid backup. I don't believe save percentage until someone has seen at least 3000 NHL shots. He's getting there. Just my bias, but I don't think his numbers would hold up with 50-60 starts in a year. Ideally you want 5000 even strength shots to be reasonably certain, but almost no goaltenders get there as a starter if the first 3000 aren't good enough (and you can glean some value for the first 3, so it's not unfair). Anyway, super small sample warning, but Enroth is only at .908 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just barely survived the fire sale. Black had market studies with data and for a while it wasn't looking good for Toothy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3putt Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 He just barely survived the fire sale. Black had market studies with data and for a while it wasn't looking good for Toothy. They should have moved him when Gnash (Preds) was slumping and the interest was high. Could have gotten a late fourth. Again DR had to "win" and we lose.

Jsixspd Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 This really is a must lose. I am glad Enroth is in..... Yeah, my instinct is that Neuvirth is more solid in net than Enroth. I think if Enroth had been goal-tending against Detroit and Montreal, they would have been zero-point losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
