So u had to have personally felt & experienced "momentum" in games...
right?

- jdfitz77

Yes, but I don't think the term is used correctly.

It's more confidence than anything.

Like the phrase "when it rains, it pours".

Sometimes a team is just a split second faster at making decisions when they feel more confident or comfortable than the other team

Call it what u want
No sense in arguing over semantics
But I think what u describe (which I totally agree with) is generally referred to as "momentum"

All sports terms are wildly overused btw
Announcers have a lot of time to fill

it's one of those things that can't be explained precisely...but when you're in the midst of it you sure as hell feel it

My conclusion from these stats is that Lehner is doing more than fine. He’s
proved that he can be a starting goalie for Buffalo in the future, and I’m excited to see
what he can do with better defense in front of him. Reinhart on the other hand still has
some work to do. He needs to be a better finisher on even strength, but if he can do
that, he has the potential to be just as good as Draisaitl (perhaps not including the
“McDavid Effect”.
It’s very easy to rant about these players on a bad night, but Buffalo fans need to be
more accountable with really considering the facts before they blast players in a 140-
character rant."

Bolded is a giant eye-roll

If he stays healthy next year I think he's a point per game player.

I've never watched a player/GM before so it should be exciting.

I'm not going to go that far. They're still the Sens after all. But it is always delightful to see a MAF meltdown.

To be honest, the Sens stopped being the Sens I hated the moment Alfredsson went to Detroit. I never even disliked him as a player, but he, Heatley, and Spezza were the three that made Sabres fans miserable.

Health will always play a factor
But we're actually pretty deep up front
Carrier, Bailey & Baptiste are all ready
And Nylander & Fasching should both be close
Defensive depth is a concern for just about every team,
So hopefully we can get lucky as far as that goes

I still hate the Sens too
Not as much, but still....

And they still have Chris Neil
And that scumbag Brian Murray is still a part of their organization

Toronto has worked their way up to my most hated
2. Boston
3. Ottawa/Philly... the hate lingers
5. Montreal
On the rise:
NyR & Edmonton
