Mustache of God Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 going back to 2014 we're 3-11 vs. Tampa Bay. They seem to have our number. Here's hoping the new Sabres pick up the damn phone and do nothing but breath heavily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Huge game. Can jump over Tampa with a win. A loss and last game means nothing. They dug themselves into this hole, they have to get out now. I understand this, as long as we aren't saying before next game, after we win today, "gotta win this one now or the last win means nothing." I know we need a win streak, but we aren't going to win every game. Division game, this is a big one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your last point is why I said that - I believe we are 4-7-3 against division opponents this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Your last point is why I said that - I believe we are 4-7-3 against division opponents this season. Which won't get us into the playoffs. We need Liger with a Jim Mora gif here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Surprising fact: 8 skaters in our lineup today have a positive +/- stat. Slightly less surprising: Foligno leads that group at +5. Last year, the only 2 regular skaters (definition being 41 games or more) with a positive were Foligno and McCabe. Plus/minus might not be a popular stat, but it is a good team-wide indicator. We're -17 at the moment in overall goal differential (which... forgive me, I don't know... but I think that includes the shootout-winning goals, which puts us at quite the deficit). We're closing the gap to the middle. Then, we'll push to the top. Aside: One of the things I want to see this year is Ristolainen break even on the plus/minus barrier. It means that a significant amount of time we're breaking even in 5-on-5 hockey against the other team's top lines and at important game-end times. That's dramatically better than the past few years. And he's almost up to 0 since joining up with McCabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig22 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Plus/minus might not be a popular stat, but it is a good team-wide indicator. We're -17 at the moment in overall goal differential (which... forgive me, I don't know... but I think that includes the shootout-winning goals, which puts us at quite the deficit). It includes the shootout so our actual +/- is -13 (we are 1-5 in shootouts). Getting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Jack has scored some nice goals against Tampa.. Let's add to that tonight! That 2nd one is scrapbook-worthy, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus_ Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 The shake up of the lines has finally put forth some effort. Girgensons is hot lately and Carrier has worked out well with O'Reilly. Nothing better than creating offense when it is missing from the depth of the team. Here's hoping Kane, Eichel, O'Reilly, Okposo and Reinhart continue to steamroll us up the standings! Tired of top 10 draft picks for sure!

Randall Flagg Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Willingly conceding possession all period like we did in philly will not work today, we won't get away with it against this team. Have to have the puck and do things with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
