Can’t account for injuries, unfortunately.

3 impact starters out. If we get them back, we beat KC.

I’m going to say 14-2 now, because there will likely be other obstacles to deal with.

Make no mistake, when healthy we are the best team in the AFC, and only behind the Packers in the NFL.

question on the fancy stats


for a goalie, does it take into account if the shot was taken by hall, ovi or eichel
vs say larsson, lazar or sobotka


for a shooter, does the shot take into account if the goalie was rask or a zamboni driver?



does the stat take into account if the shooter shot in the middle of the chest pad of the goalie, or try to nip it in the top corner where the net was open?



asking for a friend

I’ll answer that for you. No. This is flawed to the point it really needs a complete overhaul.

Just have to get it back to a top 10 unit. The pieces are in place, one Milano and TreyDay come back.

Hopefully they trade for an impact pass rusher from a non-playoff bound team.

This is what I don’t get. The goalie plays hurt and they all know it. When it’s all said and done the goalie gets blamed for the bad season. Where were these other standout goalies while this was going on?
Sorry but it just doesn’t make sense. The doctors don’t lie so how can this happen?

I wasn't even saying Hutton is bad.. He's just been an average to above average backup his entire career. He's not taking any team anywhere as the starter.

The need a space eater and a edge rusher, are LB's are not having a good year. I know he's playing hurt, but Edmunds has taken a step back this year.

I agree so I think keeping him to be the backup makes sense. The discussion should be about number one. The only way to find out if Ullmark is a starter is to give him the assignment. That’s why I don’t see them making any changes to goaltending until maybe the quarter pole.

If before the game, I told you this:

Henry would be held to around 50 yards
Tannehill would be held to under 200 yards passing
Josh would be 25 for 41 with 2 tds and an incredible 13 for 17 on 3rd down conversions
Our kicker was perfect

You'd say we won easily
Turnovers, penalties and field position ......

Sure
But our defense has still been very average
And that’s not good enough

Vegas owner thinks 48-56 game season starting in February with an All Canadian conference included.

Thank god this pandemic was swiftly taken care of so it could ruin two NHL seasons instead of one

Titans had ppl out too
And more injuries will occur

Bills are a flawed team
We’ve got some work to do
14-2 is very unlikely

Pandemic money. If this was last year ... he would’ve easily gotten 7 to maybe 7.5

Would be nice if we could get Sam to agree to a 6x6 deal, or something like that
