It's almost like he should be on Cozens wing.
- Buff36


It's almost like he should have some time in the AHL on the PP, on the first line, lighting it up and not rushing him in a year that doesn't matter in Buffalo.

It's almost like Cozens should have had some time in the AHL if you ask me.

JJ with the nice primary helper

I hate to say it but he's been forcing the issue, Quinn is just cashing.

Ups and downs for sure, but thought he's looked a lot better. Last year you're right though. Mightve been able to skip a couple injuries too.

Question for out-of-towners. Does ESPN+ negate the need for Center Ice?
- buffalofan19


Just pick an IPTV provider and get everything for like $15 per month...NFL, NHL, NBA, NCAA, MLB...Premium Movies, porn.
Just make sure to have a sufficient internet pipe.

It seems to me this chart could also support his statement...if if is comparing aGF to xGF.

If the team has a low-positive relative aGF to xGF number (+0.7 in this case) it means they Actually score slightly more than Expected Goals For (xGA) calculated by the scoring opportunities...the number of and the quality of.

Higher quality (High Danger Opportunities) shots like those from a crossing pass down low generate a higher XGF than a shot from the boards out at the blue line. So in that case, the Bruins will have a higher xGF than other teams like 4.0 vs 3.0.

Therefore,
A) if they are also generating a higher percentage of High Danger Opportinities
B) they will have a high xGF
C) and if they Actually score more than their xGF number
Then, they will have a positive aGF : xGF number (0.07+)

This looks like the beginnings of an elite team. They look great again in NJ. Sooo early to say such a thing but damn….. first 5 games of the season has each opponent skating in circles of perplexing inability

New Jersey's offense reminds me of Ralphie's wet dream:. Prayers from the point. Oof.

So we are getting chances, just need better finish, but getting that many chances, they will eventually score. All the games this year they have played really strong and should get a decent amount of wins, if goaltending holds up.

It may be the beginnings or foundation of a good team and then they add JJ and Quinn, Power, Rosen, Johnson, and a few others.

It's almost like Cozens should have had some time in the AHL if you ask me.

Already said Cozens needs a little time in the A, so yeah he should be on Cozens wing.

Cagguila and Vesey are the same player. Each of them a half step from being out of the league.
