I notice Risto way too much
- doppelthat

for every good play he makes, he makes about 5 bad ones.

This system is exposing him in a bad way.

Just taking a peek to see what you guys have to say about my boy Olofsson and the new coach.

I'm assuming nothing but positives so far, eh?

And thanks for the welcome.

I like the new coach. Have heard nothing but positives about him from the Sabres reporters.

Rob Ray was on the local sports radio show today and talked about how he always has an answer for every question and has a strong relationship with the players. Mentioned Lindy Ruff as having none of those qualities. All the coaches after Ruff probably did not, as well.

Should’ve buried them...

Anyone have the Line4 stats?
Seems like they played in the MTL end quite a bit tonight

People are gonna have to start giving them some props

Not noticing him is not a bad thing. He isn't doing anything wrong.
- BeadyEyedDouche

I suppose, but it does sound like that’s setting the bar a little on the low side.

I said it when he was hired and I’ll say it now....Kruger is the right guy for the job and the fans will end up loving him....good to see him doing well so far

Risto is being Risto again. Can we go back
I time and trade him for Hall?

But good win. PP is stupid good. Olofsson is gonna score 30 playing with Jack.

Keep it up boys.

I went to Toronto last night to see a show. Canada is a whole different world (New York is getting there).

Went to the botanist, bought three joints, went to the show and smoked them with police walking around us.

I will not die on this hill but, the alleged 4th line is not as bad as you wish them to be. High Corsi AND providing a service for the rest of the team.

They're playing well in a defensive sense

They're playing too much

Both are true.

The roster build necessitates playing them a lot, i get it. But that should be a reason to get more help, not an excuse for those guys

Mojo is so, so good for this team. Help him.

I know I’ll be watching more Sabres games this year....I want to see what he can do with this team as opposed to being tossed aside by some idiot on Skype

I know that u will never get over the fact that they aren’t gonna score

But they start in our zone a crazy unbalanced amount...
yet still spend more ice time in the other end than our
*seemingly anyways, I’d love to see actual stats on this if anyone has them

Idk dude... that’s a “win” for me

Not that you asked - I agree 100%. It is awesome that they got the win AND my positive review cold be because of that...... The last 5 years, the Canadiens run all around the:

Eichel is a beast;
Oloffson will be/is awesome;
Skinner, scoring without Eichel (I know PP);
4th line - if you do not define them by salary - is good;
Did not quit;
Perhaps, the FA signing of Johanssen will be turn out good as opposed to the Moulson and Okposo signings;
They did not play their best and our Sabres got a fargin' win!

Come on, let's be positive!

OR.....
it just means that the other lines (particularly
13-37-whoever) need to provide the acing in their ice time that 28-22-21 don’t

If the other 3 lines score like they SHOULD
Then that line playing well purely defensively is a help, and not a hindrance

I think you’re critical of the wrong players for not scoring enough

They were the best line for us in terms of possession tonight. And have been for the year

They’re expected goal for % between the 3 is averaging around 75% which is insanely good.

They’ve been the best 5 on 5 line, almost in the entire NHL right now
