Looking at the stats a while back we tend to be front runners We score a lot but also tend to score in bunches and pile on. Empty net goals no better example Edited February 19, 2023 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 Not an overly impressive win, but a win is a win. Better yet, all the wildcard competition lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Noggin Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 15 minutes ago, JohnC said: https://www.nhl.com/standings/2022/wildcard Quick survey of the standings suggests the Sabres are favorably poised to push for a wildcard spot, given their 4-5 games in hand over 3 of the 4 candidates for #8, and a goal differential 3x better than the entire Eastern wildcard field. As others have suggested, adding a physical, disciplined d-man by the deadline could attainably fill in the most glaring roster hole (beyond GK). Seems like a good year to make a moderate move and go for it. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Train Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 Woke up at 6 and just watched the replay. UPL didn't have a chance on that tip and the other goal was traffic banging around in his crease, which is no surprise with our bad practice of letting opponents clog his space. Please get some physical Defensemen. Please !  UPL played so well and I do wish to see more from Cromrie so he can get a rhythm.   4 goals for the good guys and they were hustling up front. Now we have five 20 goal scorers. Seems like yesterday I was hoping for one !  How our GM and coaching staff have changed things for the better. Great way to finish the trip. Totonto next and then our 2 games in Florida . Go Sabres !   2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get caught up in the statistical weeds. In the end it's all about the record. Statistical minutia doesn't always reflect the reality on the ice. I would rather have a goalie whose stoppage rate is 890% and whose record is 15-6 than have a goalie whose rate is 935% and record is 11-10. Just go out and win and the analytics will take care of itself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
