neither of them could hold up, i'd say it's exactly the same

One player is scoring at a point per game crack

One player is in the wrong league

Not the same

Saints D are no slouches. Bills played well.

Lattimore and Cam Jordan especially. Diggs had his way with Lattimore, and Jordan who had 4 sacks in 5 games coming in had a whopping 1 tackle tonight; literally at the bottom of the Saints' defensive box score.

If you can't see the similarity between a journeyman goalie and a PP specialist, I can't help you.

What is amazing to me is the snake pushed Skinner off 1LW to 2LW, replacing him with RW shot at LW. The result was very mediocre play by VO at LW and destroyed Skinners production and confidence thereby creating a 9G 2LW instead of a 40G 1LW.

Brilliant I say, just Brilliant.

VO looks pretty good at RW.
Now, if he could increase his availability over 90% rather than 60% so far this year and 80% 2 seasons ago, that would be great.

Too few games to sway me yet. Fortunately, they have a few more months.

Everyone on this team is playing too high in the lineup. It messes up valuations.

First and foremost, they need to make a real decision. 3+ year extension or move him. Can't hand out another 1 year deal that defined KA's first year.

I added in your initial response to me about Olofsson because I have a question.

You mentioned everyone is playing too high in the lineup.

If Olofsson is a 50 point even strength, 80 point overall forward (clearly need the rest of the season to play out on that), is he really playing too high in the lineup?

How many forwards are there in the NHL that put up those numbers?

Seems like he's a worthy top 6 winger if he can produce like that.

When he's been on the ice he's clearly been a top 6 this year. One of the good stories this season.

He's gotten better and better, Sabres have a big choice to make with him.

Just looked up the last 2 full seasons the NHL had, and if you produce at a 48-50 point even strength level and an 80 point overall level, you're a top 25 reward in terms of point production in the NHL.

If that is Olofsson going forward, he is certainly not playing too highly in the lineup.

So the big ?, most of us had a feeling of what was coming for this season. Obviously there's work to be done but the Sabres are ahead of where we thought they would be. I do not like tanking it breeds loosing. We have the assets to upgrade are goalie and probably grab a decent RD without hurting are future, do you do it or still try to tank!!

Can't, you can't keep playing the same game with these guys. Taking care of your own who deserve it shows players the Sabres believe in them and makes players "Want to be Here"

Funny reading comments on Granato and his coaching. For what he has been given task wise and personal wise IMO he has done a pretty good job. Gonna be bumps in the road even with him, happens with every Coach. But he has to deal with the same things we complain about with the players he has.

If Tre White is gone for the year, it'll be nearly impossible to win it all without him.

Oilers hurting for a LHD. Hagg, or not worth even offering?

Let me play. We will still end up bottom 6 without farking with it. Owen will see a bit of time on the back end. Same with Rochester guys depending on how the playoffs go over there
