he and Gionta lead the team in a huge analytical flaw for this team--5v5 goals, yet both are mocked...I don't get it
- Michael Pachla

He's playing well in terms of 5 on 5 goals.

I wouldn't say making a joke about extending his contract is necessarily mocking him

I actually posted during the Montreal game that 9,28,12 is a perfect 3rd line. And all 3 have contributed in a big way 5 on 5.

saw that...they've been playing well...gionta's got the third line rockin...saw that with Larsson and Foligno and now those two...

still think this team could use some left wing juggling...Foligno needs to be off the Eichel line...yesterday

Rather than a one (round) and done... sell. That is if they can even make the playoffs. I don't think they are quite there yet.

Good read!

Gee what gives you that idea, the fact that the Sabres are 15th in the conference?

According to my very brief research, analytics types say the best indicator of a team's overall success is "PDO"

And the Sabres are ranked 15th right now in PDO.

do you think snarky comments coming from an Edmonton fan is apropos?

Which makes sense. That means they are neither in the lucky half, nor the unlucky half. They are what they are

MOreso than their spot in the standings? I guess the NHL have the playoff seeding all wrong then.

On the bright side, given russ brandon's exemplary track record, they might can him if a team did actually make the playoffs.

When this very same Oilers fan isnt delusional and was fair and just in his harsh criticism of his perrenial bottom feeding poop team for almost a decade? Absolutely!

And for the record, the Oil are doing well, but they are still building, and not as good as their record seems to indicate.

Edit: you dont subscribe to that Bullpoop outta Oitts and Chicago that fans of championship teams are the only ones who can chirp, like they had something to do with their success, do you?

perhaps you should continue unleash your "harsh and just criticism" in your own thread and direct it towards any delusional oilers fans who are entertaining delusions of grandeur...or alter your writing style so that you don't come off as a snarky douche type...which i'm sure you're not personally

But, Lehner sucks. And PDO is SV% + SH%. So if Lehner sucks, and we can't shoot for poop. How are we 15th? I don't get it.

To be serious for a moment. PDO close to 1.000 is deemed as the best. It means you're neither lucky, nor unlucky. As one over 1.000 or one under 1.000 would tend to mean, respectively.

Oops, I forgot to check if anyone in HBSL is hurt this week. Here's hoping!

Still 21st in the league ranking and 1st in the division. That loss 2 weeks ago really killed me.
