K-9 Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 I’ll take a 1-1 tie after that type of period. Boys are gonna have to fight thru some fatigue and dig deep to win the 4th in 6. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not 31st in scoring anymore, Dorthy. 😉 I’d say GAA of your goalies matters. Not going to score four or five goals every game and those lower scoring games have as much impact as any other.

I don’t know what the minimum games played is but I’d guess he’s middle to slightly below middle of the pack. What's his high chance save %, that's probably a better indicator. Sabres are fun to watch, but they're also fun to play against as there not exactly the most defensive aware team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stance is finally wider and he isn't getting knocked down as much. I also think his line mates are finally ready for the pass off the boards that he has been missing on, because they didn't realize he could get it to them. They are starting to realize it's coming.

RochesterExpat Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 I'm optimistic on this one. I think if they clean up the penalties they can blow this game wide open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you're right but I think prob not against Fleury. Despite scoring 6 vs him last game, he typically makes it hard to score.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
