Anyone at the game see why the crowd was cheering on the last rush before the goal?

Seemed like maybe UPL got into it with a Wild player based on crowd reaction but the camera had already panned up ice

- Hank Balling


That's Exactly what happened. I was on the other end, but he was tied up with a wild player.

Olofsson is a pylon
Mittle -shat sucks

Some of the better posters look very foolish.
Becoming a regular occurrence

- Boss34

How are posters looking foolish. It's great they are starting to produce. Where was Olofsson for most of November and December. Mitts has seemed to have woken up since being with Tage and Tuch. But where was he during that time, other than the occasional night. Just cause they have a big night, doesn't erase there disappearance for long periods.

Koziol just said it’s gonna be Mondee, Tuesdee, Thursdee, Saturdee the next 3 weeks! Only the Swedish bikini team parachuting in with a case of Old Milwaukee could be better than that.

Prior to tonight:

Bottom 20 forward lines in expected goals for % (Min. 65 TOI):



“Narrative busted” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✌️

- Swedish_Jesus


“Expected goals” has always been an extremely subjective, and thus flawed stat

This is why so many resist the “analytics” talk
It’s flawed, yet u act like it’s the end all be all
It’s not

Come on thirtysixensons, many posters criticize both olofsson and mitts.

When those guys play well, those posters look like fools.

They just cry and complain. Then deflect.

Calling a guy on pace for 30 goals a mistake start by the coach. Utter ignorance

Top offense in the league, let's take ~45 goals/ ~90pts between the two out of the lineup

Does that mean we get to take out all of the goals they have been on the ice for as well ?

Cause then the Sabres’ goals for differential would actually increase

Joe3's point was "top scoring" team.
He said nothing about defense or differential

You’re right.

Critical thinking would lead you to conclude that you can’t solely blame the forward group for on ice goals against. That would be extremely silly

This.

I'd rather be the top scoring team and give up a few more than the crap we've seen the past 11yrs

Gotta walk before you can run, ask Tage, Dahlin, and every other player ever, not named McJesus. Maybe take away all the goals against he was on the ice for and see how that looks. lol

Yeah but McDavid is only a +5. His line gives up a lot of goals. Therefore they’re his fault

You’re right, I have the eye test and analytics test to help support why Mittelstadt and Olofsson are a -9 and a -7 on the highest scoring team in the league (which also includes there PP points).

There are like 100 ways to skin this cat and none of them look good for your boys.

But hey, hopefully I don’t have to wait until February for another one of your “haters are in shambles” posts

Both are flawed, clearly, and also subjective, and the former, biased

All this energy to try and kill a couple 3rd liners pacing for 30 goals and another one 50 points.

It’s honestly sad.

Sabres are winning and they contribute.

No team is going to have 12 forwards rocking 55+% Xg%. It doesn’t exist

McDavid is also black hole defensively, but he’s also going to put up 130 points this year so he gets a pass.
