I think it’s reasonable to say we’d have won a few more games with a different goalie
Hutton was pretty horrible during that 0-8-2 stretch

It's also safe to say a 47 save shutout shouldn't be expected

If you're going to make should-be wins out of losses, then you should make should-be losses from wins, right?

And if he lost 2 games where he had a .930+ save percentage, what do we do with that? The team lost him those games. It's not as simple as saying: I'm going to flip his 4 worst losses to wins

He’s 47 out of 53 qualified goalies in GAA and Save %.

He's been pure ass for periods of time. But what I'm saying is it doesn't make sense to disregard the best results and just say you're going to flip the worst losses. That's how you end up with a backup on the 114 point pace which is completely unrealistic

Risto to the leafs is being discussed says Pierre LeBrun

Don't think they are very good trade partners although the leafs have a few under-performing forwards that would probably interest Botts.

Don't want to trade Risto unless it is for a center. That being said

Kapanen+Liljegren for Risto is what I would ask for.

What is completely unrealistic is the numbers Hutton is putting up on one of the better defensive teams in hockey yet here we are.

I hope not but, risto for nylander?
Seems like a botts move
Keefe not too happy about his effort
Botts likes swedes and doesnt look for effort
Who says no?

This is a solid line of thinking
Maybe discard the top 3 and bottom 3 games?

Yet my post from 6:21 remains untouched. Probably because it doesn’t fit the narrative.

I know we suck, but I was totally impressed with the game that the Sens played last night. Always skating and attacking, ALL players where finishing their check.

You don't need to be the most talented team if you play the game the right way.

If only we had more NA players. Everyone knows they play the hardest.

I agree, hopefully montour.

I like risto's game

But Binnington was excellent in the games he won!

Dude but we gotta to take away the game from October 18th in which he played well to make up for the 0-8-4 stretch and last nights loss in which he stopped an average of 85% of the shots directed towards him that were mostly harmless.

It's a really great post, I appreciate it.

Gotta go with crags on this one. Cant take the bad without the good. He explained it really well, as did you.

The goalless streak and injury with skinner has you racking up daily points. I'll even give you slight credit for the non assist last night as well. Might need a new skinner voodoo doll soon?

Not saying it is that simple
And sure, take away the 47 save performance
.930 sv% games happen, so I’m not inclined to switch those up

But still, 0-8-2 is probably more like 5-3-2 with a decent goalie

Wow

Lebrun says communication has happened between Leafs and Sabres about Ristolainen. He also says it's basically impossible that it will happen before the deadline and if it is gonna get done it will be in the summer. He said the Leafs and Wild have had talks over Dumba but Guerin wants a young centre that the Leafs don't have.

Hi Kong . Thanks as usual

The worst part of the Sabres this season has been goaltending and the PK (which is also goaltending). It’s undeniably the reason they’re out of the playoff race.

The Sabres high danger chance % is 49.31% as a team 5 on 5. Middle of the pack

Yet the actual goal differential is bad, and the special teams goal differential is worse.

It sunk them.
