Sabres have no answer for Reaves...
- Stripes77

I'm fine with that. The guy's useless, but now that I say that...

Lizzy Caplan is a green light for sure.

I still don't understand your usage though.

Yeah, that's not really what it means. You got the "sucking you in" part right, but that's about it.

In certain situations, yes. But not always. That's the problem, there's no hard and fast rules about it. Do you really think they're not going to play Risto a lot even if they were run by hardcore analytics nerds? And no they can't just trade him he's on the team.

I'm not sold that they are perfect, or that the eye test doesn't matter. They are parts to the puzzle.

Guys like Risto and Kane are perfect examples. Kane has great "shot stats" but bad scoring stats. Risto has bad shot stats, bit good scoring stats

Kane gives up quite a bit of weight but I'd pay for that ticket.

The Sabres need to score before the blues wake the (frank) up

Go for the throat

I wonder if Lehner still thinks getting that gigantic neck tat was a good choice? I feel like I'm going to have nightmares after watching Sabres games.

Man, look how slow Baptiste is! lol

That would be good.

That's kind of where I'm at with it, because you can't watch every team, how do we know who's who?

In Swedish it says "If you can read this you're too close."

You can say that all you want but when you have a guy like that running around and no one to keep him honest you're at a disadvantage.

Reaves isn't a great hockey player by any stretch of the imagination but he's not a bad 4th liner.

I'm still astonished at how strong he is, when he ripped McCarron off the pile last year one handed with his blocker still on(start at 0:22):




McCarron isn't exactly Gerbe or Gionta.

It reminded me of:

- Wetbandit1

Depends. Do you value the process or the results more?

With Kane, it never seems like the process (shots) turn into the results (goals) so he's sort of an outlier

Those aren't my words, hence the quotes. I think that quote is a steaming pile of poop perpetuated by people who also think visors should be mandatory.

This has a third period surge by the Blues and a 3-1 final written all over it....

Ah gotcha!

Hate to say it guys but I hope we come away with a point here

Process is certainly important, but ultimately all that matters is the results. But that's my point, you need a complete picture, so you need guys that watch every team, because just looking at the stats can be very misleading.

Not as good as the first but still a salad effort
