That's the one. My buddy had one (before he crashed it into a work trailer). You could start it in 4th no problem. The shifter stem on that thing was like 2 feet long lol - Hank Balling
I believe this was the Amerk’s goal song this year. I was always more of a “Rage in the Cage” fan from this album though. Glad the Sabres have gone with the individualized songs; it’s more fun. Just too bad Boosh couldn’t bury one at home.
I know it doesn't mean anything and we have no idea how it is going to play out, Dammit, watching Benson skate today brought a smile to my face. The kid just looks special.
AM radio is being phased out of cars and Audacy is in dire financial straits. What's happening in Edmonton likely happens here before too long. WGR probably doesn't have too much longer
So I was doing a little more studying from " Hockey For Dummies". We have come to conclusion with some analytics to back it up that Faceoffs are not that important.
Well studying my bad knowledge of analytics it really looks like it could of helped the Sabres having a better FaceOff guy even just for the PP and especially the PK. Last thing you want in your Ozone is to start chasing the puck right of the bat and it happened alot. We were one of the last in High Danger and scoring chances against and yes some of that came of the rush, but a lot of those rushes were started on lost Faceoffs for the Sabres. Are PP was dangerous, could have been even more dangerous if we started with the puck more. Faceoffs might not be huge thing around the league but for a young team that really didn't play much Defense for 70gms it is important. I would have liked to see them improve in that area it would only help them until they improve Defensively.

Faceoffs don't matter until they do. Special teams is a prime area of specific concern as you pointed out. Normal 5v5 is of less significance in view of the purponderence of on-the-fly changes outnumbering faceoffs.
I'd also say the putrid High Danger Chances given up is more an indictment on overall defensive play by the 5 on the ice, and a clear disposition of the Coaching staff to develop the offensive side of the game to instill more confidence.
This season, the biggest impact on cutting those down comes from I stallng and executing well a more defensively aware system...and upgrading the D certainly contributes.
