Suspect Moneypuck Expected Goal Model

I'll admit I use the Moneypuck stats quite a bit. Tonight it says we had 2.645 expected goals for. That is ridiculously low IMO. We had sooooo many golden chances... That's how we got 7 GF.  I'd say we should have at least been 4 xGF. 

I get that not all our shot attempts got through and/or we missed the net, but we were buzzing all night.  

Stats nerds... Any thoughts?

There goalie sucked 

Yeah.  Thompson had two go in off him (Okposo and Cozens).  Skinner's goal from the high slot is usually saved; Power's goal from the point should have been saved.  That's the first time this decade Girgs looked like a sniper.  Two goals were legit:  The first Cozens goal (clean breakaway) and the Mitts goal (pp with a screen).

There have been games where the Sabres were unlucky on shots to the net.  This was not one of them.
