From the Athletic:

The 44 shots on goal were the most the Sabres have had in a game this season and the second time they’ve had 40-plus. According to NaturalStatTrick.com, the Sabres dominated at five-on-five, holding a 50-30 advantage with unblocked shot attempts. They out-chanced the Senators 37-14 and had a 15-6 advantage in high-danger scoring chances.

The Sabres need to become a playoff team on a regular basis so we can start seeing games like that for what they are. For long periods of time in franchise history, fans would have just shaken their heads and said, "We ran into a hot goalie." For obvious reasons, now a game like that is looked at much differently. 37 chances! Boo! They don't create enough!

Playoff team on a regular basis...the issue we have been discussing here all year though is how do they get there?

By just about every comprehensive metric...eye test, standings, goal differential, we are about half way through the season and this team is in the 20th-25th best in the league range.

Not going to get it done.  We have to really hope that Dahlin grows into a mega-stud D-man over the next year or two...and they find an Olofsson type player somewhere and maybe Mittelstadt or Cozens develops quickly into a star.
