See, thats funny. I made this argument around that time that all 3 forwards were really close and I was laughed at, an told Reinhart was head and shoulders above the rest

They are? They have produced next to no offense. That's a big part of being a good defense in the NHL. They have no transition game and are getting above average goaltending.

I mean, they aren't falling down while skating with the puck or just blatantly handing teams scoring chances, but that's the style of play

Yes, they are. Tied for 5th is good, for now, like I said there will be a regression, but they are playing much better than anyone though they would. A lot were saying "tire fire" tire fire's aren't top 5 I don't care how you want to count.

I guess it depends how you look at it. I'd say not having a single goal through 13 or 14 games is a tire fire. When the responsibility of your D man is simply to chip it out, dump it in, no risky passes or pinching, it's pretty easy not to get scored on.

I'd say if anything they've been very disciplined

Ok, that's fair, but the reality is they've allowed very few goals. Even when teams try and do that they're not always successful, even the Sabres have had trouble sitting on leads late in games this year trying to do that. You make it seem like it's easy, trust me, if it was that easy every single team would do that, because coaches hate goals. GMs hate goals. The only people who like goals are probably some players and the fans.

I don't think they hate goals (The NHL does), coaches just say it's easier to coach defense. Bylsma even said it, which is kind of my point. I'd be impressed if they were generating any type of O, and kept goals down. IMO they are just playing not to lose

A great stream. I urge everyone who streams games to join the FB group so we can vote and get the Sabres streams on the regular, because they're top notch streams, but the guy only streams 2 games at a time and puts up polls to see who wants what game, and as usual Buffalo gets d¡cked http://www.strawpoll.me/11622761/r. 35 people voted for this game(177 for the Oilers Stars game at 9), I know it's the Devils and Sabres, but still. Need to put your baby to bed? Bam, put this game on and they'll be out before the first commercial break.

Which is another way of saying they hate goals. Because goals often come from your team making a mistake, and above all, coaches hate mistakes.

Central Scouting is the NHL's own scouting service.
