so what you are saying is year 9 and the 6th coach he has is finally going to figure it out.
- ImThatGuy

I just wanna know what his injury had to do with the two brain dead plays he made yesterday leading to goals.

Who turns the puck over and then skates to the bench to change as the play is coming at you?

And then another senseless icing leads to him being overmatched and Marchand scoring right in front of him.

The positive impact of him not being here is going to cost us Shane Wright

did kim and terry let kevyn build the team w/o having to constantly check in and chat with the owners

they are staying out of the new stadium spotlight and letting their puppet handle that though

I think we should let Reinhart and Risto go and maybe talk about them when we are truly bored after the season or during the Olympic break when we have a legit sample size and not a few opening games of the season just to make some weak, insecure points.

in 2019-20, the sabres got off to a 9-2-2 start to the season...through the month of october risto was second amongst buffalo defensemen in points with five and had an even +/- rating...

carter hutton was 6-1-1 with the league's 5th-best sv% (.926) and 9th-best gaa (2.21) plus had two shutouts (tied for league lead)

then the bottom fell out

- Michael Pachla


That team was buoyed by Hutton and they were being punished analytically. That's not happening today.

We were never going to finish last with Arizona and now Seattle being as ad as they are.

Even if we made it to last place the lotto is rigged.

I consider behind the scenes what the knox brothers did or what ralph did


in essence avoid the spotlight and not make it about them

I doubt it. Neither expansion team got 1st overall despite having solid odds to. A rigged draft would for sure have gone to one of them.

risto was top-10 in every category...

but i get your point we'll see how the analytics pan out the rest of the month...point being, 13 games ended up being a small sample size...three games is even smaller

I'll be paying close attention to xGF and %, because that will tell us how they're competing more than, I think, almost any other stat. High energy and low talent will probably show that xGF is greater than actual GF. Which is fine for this team, and I think a goal you want to aim for.

Showing positive (50+) corsi % will show how they're play driving. If they can win on that against the bottom half of the league, I think this year is a huge success.
