They’re stats for almost everything. Stats are not conclusions. That’s up to the people making the decisions |

There’s things that stats don’t show too though
What analytic show how defense is focused towards Eichel vs Sam vs Olofsson for example?
And no stat ever tells the complete story either
If they did,
then we’d never be surprised when (x) player breaks out, or (y) player takes longer to develop, and so on
Stats should be used to help reinforce what you’re seeing with your eyes
I don’t wanna say ppl use them in a vacuum,
but it’s quite amusing to me when ppl try to use this stat or that stat to compare guys who they watch play only a couple times a year |

Keep playing solid hockey boys... resign olo as soon as you can. May as well take care of Lazar while you’re at it. And just lock Samson up so we can stop the trade talk.
Keep playing Miller!
I’m curious to see what botts does at the deadline.
What do you put the over/ under at?
I’m thinking 2 out possibly 3, 1 back...
Nothing major till the offseason.
Still can’t go into next year with mitts as the 2c.
Cozens should start on the 3rd line...
It would have been nice to see how Tage progressed through the year, he’s a wild card at Rw. If he learns to use his reach, he could Be a heck of a pk guy. And hopefully he can figure his accuracy out. I don’t think he will never be a tough gritty guy. I think Gerbe has more grit in him than Tage ever will.
Olo. Jack. Samson
Skinner. Player x. Player y (Tage/Mitts)
Mojo. Larry (mitts/cozens). Cozens/mitts.
Asplund. Lazar. Okoposo.
Wild card: Tage- 2RW? - mitts - 3c/ 2RW
Cozens - 3RW / 3c.
And depending what the TDL and offseason bring, Tage and Mitts could start in Rochester and I’m fine with that!

If we could somehow get rid of Okposo,
my ideal 4th line (checking unit) would be:
Girgensons-Larsson-Lazar
Or switch them around however,
they can all play each position
All 3 of them deserve to be back
And I’d sign them to multi year deals even |

I’ve got no problem with that. As long as its cost effective to do so.
And yes, okoposo is a problem but at some point, there are going to be too many concussions. And we aren’t far from that point.
My pipe dream is Domi at 2c. He just has that tenacity that’d fit perfect.
Skinner. Domi. Tage/ Mitts.
I could get down with that. And he can shift to the wing when cozens is ready...
They really aren’t far but finding that center is gonna be difficult. It’ll be 3 years, he’s gotta fix it. |

This post - one of the greatest ever - needs to be re-posted from time to time so it's never forgotten.

My fault
I’m just not as grouchy about things as many on here are
We’ve still go a ways before we are top2 in our division
But getting to 3rd is within reach without having to do anything all that drastic
Plus... we are gonna get some lotto luck this year
I’ve got a good feeling - jdfitz77
It's good to hear someone being positive, cause we aren't as far of as some think. As Pegs pointed out, if we would have just gotten. 500 hockey from Hutton through the last 3 months we would be playing meaningful hockey right know. As some have pointed out a few added pieces and a couple of the youngins take the next step and this team takes the next step. I like his heart and the way he's been playing but if they can get Okposo to retire would really help this team in many ways. |

I would like to see what Cozens could do at RW with Eichel. See how he handles it, could really give him some confidence. Drop Rhino down to 2RW and see what happens. Cozens is gonna be a good one. |

I am thinking this if we don't get that 2C, the kid plays both, and seems to be able to do it smoothly. |

What a sweet play in overtime by Jack and Olofsson. It was nice to see a player with the hockey sense to find that open area for that pass from Jack. |

Anyone who says they weren't pissed that Allen was drafted is flat out lying.
I love the guy. The guy's All Buffalo. I have a lot of optimism that he continues to improve, based on past professional performance. - TheSabresTaco
I loved the pick 🤷♂️ |

That's my favorite part of this play
90% of players are "driving the net" here and don't score |

Kevyn Adams on the alumni jerseys:
I’m glad you asked because there has been a lot said about it. The truth is Mike Robitaille has had that jersey for a long time and he’s worn it out multiple times. In fact, he got it before, knew it was misspelled and likes to wear it. He showed up that day and put it on. It wasn’t something we gave him that night, but he wore it.
In terms of Dave Andreychuk, that was '80s Night and that jersey we did give him. There is a positive and negative to that. The negative is the jersey was misspelled. The positive is the error was caught in the hallway before he went on the ice. We were able to swap out the jersey and get him the correct one before he went on the ice.

That interview was lightly salted with corporate bullpoop. But I appreciated it. Interesting how 'previous leadership' was blamed for the lack of goatheads. You have to wonder if those same people that were purged last year had something to do with missing that deadline.
The reiteration of 'we hear the fans' and 'we need to continue to be better' was. I don't know. Reassuring? Maybe it was nice to be recognized. |
