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

Management knew exactly what they were getting out of olofsson when they extended him.

A 25+ goal scorer on the 3rd line.
Guy can play on pp2 and move up the lineup if needed
He's extremely streaky, hope hes on the upswing

The idea that they are “killing us” is one of the silliest things we have posted here. I sincerely don’t get it.

If they were our top line and we needed constant production from them I’d be more inclined to agree.

That’s not remotely the case

Two people show up, and this place becomes instantly toxic.

Management gave out 8 years to Thompson and 7 years to Samuelsson.

Why did Olofsson only get 2 years ?

With the other 3 lines playing well together, it's a convenient trio.

Takes some time to play together.
I can't remember mitts and olo playing together in the past few years on this team together?

His agent wanted a short term deal.

The rink manager just went along with it.

Thompson is having a Hart caliber season.

Dahlin is having a Norris caliber season.

Tage and Skinner are averaging over a point a game.

Cozens is averaging a point a game.

Quinn, Peterka, Power are playing better than anyone could have imagined (although the kid line has gone cold the past couple of weeks).

We still may not make the playoffs……

Let that sink in for a minute

Why the arbitrary cut off at 11 games ? Why not use 15 games ?

Is that since Mitts was a -7 in those 4 games alone so we decided to cut off at 11 ?

Once again, there is more to the sport of hockey than scoring goals.

Minnesota scored 5 tonight, didn’t win the game though.

I also mentioned the kid line went cold the last few weeks, but for a solid month and a half they were one of the best lines in hockey.

I’ll give rookies a pass, considering they should be our de facto third line anyways

Has to be 11 games because Mitts had a 3 point night.

Do you still go to the games Baller?

I haven't heard the arena that loud in 15 years. We've had some good moments in the past year, but tonight was the night that the fans came back and the building came back to life. What a game. What a scene. Can't wait for Monday.

Yes, it’s the streak that Mittelstadt has played really well for most of the last 11 games

Higher Xg% than Peterka, Krebs and Jost who people fawn over and has produced more offense than the 3 as well.

Krebs last 11 games - 4 points 45% xg%

Pegulaville called him “fantastic”

Mitts last 11 games - 46% xg% and 10 points

“He’s killing us”

It’s becoming a joke

And if that continues, I won’t complain about Mittelstadt.

Only issue is, we have multiple years of data that suggests the contrary.

Like Jesus before this “11 games” the guy had 2 even strength points in a 20 game span and that line was pretty much unplayable at 5v5.

The Sabres are in a playoff race here and won’t just make it getting dragged by their top line, Dahlin, and Power

You’re right probably not. Which is why they should attempt to add another really good forward and D.

They have 2 consistently good lines that play their role (Thompson and Krebs line)

They have 2 other ones that are streaky
