So where are we at now. The offence really needs to show up soon. There’s a lot of guys just not showing any confidence around the net and most are not willing to be in the dirty areas to cause some sh!tt. Too many guys waiting for something to happen rather than making it happen. Lots of offensive zone time passing the puck around the perimeter and no action in the dirty areas. Should have signed Simmonds.

3 of Simmonds goals came on the PP though which is frowned upon.

We have the 5th ranked PP and 12th ranked PK

No where near the playoffs and worst goal differential in our division though!!

Gotta love them super important special teams

Special teams are just as important as even strength.

Until even strength goals start counting for more then I won’t change my stance

Well when it's the only time you can put the puck in the net, wish they where worth 2.

If the season ended today, wed have two years where the Sabres have had a top 5 PP, including the #1 unit in 2017 and didn't come within single digits of the postseason.

They aren't remotely as important as winning the game at EV

But this argument will never end no matter how much evidence is presented

I think that hurts more than a lot of people may think. For a team lacking a little toughness his absence will not be good.

The Dallas Stars played in a cup final last year and only scored 178 goals in the entire regular season. Only two teams scored less last year.

All goals count the same, score more then the other team and you win.

I never said anything about even strength goal differential not being important.

You said special teams don’t matter.

I said they absolutely matter.

Yes, that's correct.

So let's just do the math on this with the current Sabres, since the PP is just as important as EV

Sabres are top 5 in PP, which means they are great at it, so in your words, should be able to carry this team

So you think it's plausible to have your team score 2 PP goals per game? So they'd need to average 7-8 PP's per game, and consistently score on 25-30% of them in order to carry your goal scoring enough to score around 3 goals per game and make it to the playoffs?

You really think that's plausible?

You’re just putting words in people’s mouths again

Everyone agrees even stretch scoring is important
Most just also think that PP goals count,
whereas u seem to want to eliminate them any time u talk about scoring

Of course they count. This isn’t hard to figure out

You do not get enough PP’s throughout the year to have it be your main sustainable way of scoring goals and winning games. You just don’t.

You NEED to consistently score at EV

You need your PP to be good situationally and chip in occasionally
