They're playing better. I've said that numerous times. Just not "good" enough to lose out on a top 3 or 4 pick. Best of both worlds.

+1 its going to be pretty hard to get out of the top 5. Every year every team goes on a mini winning streak.

Cant wait, going to get some "work" done so I can watch it at work.

Us hockeybuzzers don't do any work as it is let alone on New Year's Eve with USA - Canada game at 11:30. Coles is having their usually party for it but I can't make it. Dad life.

DEREK ROY BAR YEZZZZZZZ!

By the way for those of you who are interested, WGR put up a pretty good read regarding the play under Teddy vs under Rolston. Pretty fair perspective using our favorite stat, Corsi.

I'm not going to be able to watch it, but I can listen to it at least.

I read that this morning as well. For those that don't care to actually read it, it basically states that Rolston coached the team during a harder part of the schedule. Our scoring under Rolston was actually a bit better, and the main difference is the emergence of Girgensons under Nolan.

Or at least that was my interpretation of it.

EDIT: Oh, and Myers has actually been better. Sending down the young kids has helped improve our time of possession as well.

I have to laugh when I watch a Sweden game, with a capacity crowd behind them, and an ad on the boards that says "We All Play For Canada" on it.

"Tyler Myers

Before we pat Nolan on the back for the improved play of Tyler Myers, here's a quick reminder that he was better right off the bat under Rolston. "

I've never really been the type to go downtown to party in general. I hate being in really crowded places. I also hate that people in clubs and stuff feel like it's ok for them to just touch you whenever they want. To me, that's disrespectful.

It does go on to state that his play has improved more under Nolan though. Hamilton was saying during the post game show for the game Hodgson hurt his wrist during that Rolston didn't want the D carrying the puck and Nolan likes when they do it. That's why Myers has improved more under Nolan. He's allowing him to do what he's best at.

Well that was a fun drive into work.

I think almost every player has been a little better. Hodgson and Leino seem to be the 2 that stick out that have not picked up their play. Foligno is wildy inconsistent with his effort too.

I missed it. Got real bad after I got here. And now it's barely snowing again.

Thats pretty much exactly how I feel.

Nothing better than a bar you can sit down everyone knows you hang out have a beer. Crowds and espcially clubs there is nothing I hate more.

I think Foligno is caught in between trying to be a power forward and trying to be a finesse player (which he certainly is not). But I think that had something to do with how easily the offense came for him when he got called up that first year.

We keep seeing flashes of the power forward he can be, but he's not doing it consistently. I think it's gonna take a little time to figure the whole thing out. Switching his position constantly didn't help his cause any, IMO.

And the cost of a drink at a club is ridiculous. Give me my corner townie bar any day.

Players like playing for Nolan (see Matt Moulson), sorry you can't see that?

Happy New Year Boys!

It also states that D'Agostini isn't as bad as some think since he has a positive Corsi number But he can't score, wait I am confused. How is it possible that he isn't bad but he can't score? Quick I am going into something called a Corsi Comma

If miller starts in the Olympics the team will have a bad stretch after the break. I am thinking a 1-11-1 type of stretch.

Agreed!! All day any day I would rather be at a corner bar in South Buffalo or West Seneca

I felt like a was driving on an ice rink the whole way.

A car had slid all the way down the shoulder by the 990 exit. I was going to stop but then I noticed emergency vehicles coming up behind me.
