Team: 2020-21 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 18, 2021

Published: Feb. 18, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Skinner back on the 4th line where he will continue to get 12 mins a game and not get any confidence.

Irwin playing over Borgen? Senseless especially since Borgen played fantastic imo and Irwin was terrible

Risto not joining the team for the 4 game road trip = 4 losses

Our best player has been Olofsson and that just speaks as to how bad Eichel, Hall, and Reinhart have been.

I'm looking at Hall's stats and his xGF/60, CF/60, xGA/60 and xCA/60 are all in the 90th percentile and higher. Am I missing something?

What would you want for Reinhart if he keeps playing like this?

Borgen and Risto is on both of them, Adams has to take care of the roster moves

0 reason Borgen should sit unless they are protecting him from the Seattle draft by not letting him play over 26 games

Skinner played the last two games with Eichel and did nothing it doesn't matter who he plays with its time for him to start scoring before he earns more ice time

Eichel Hall and Skinner have no puck luck. I wouldn’t say he’s playing bad but all 3 need to start scoring.

The top 6 just cycles the puck along the boards for 3 minutes at a time then throw the puck at the net, team has the league worst HDGF

Skinner has had his best games with Lazar and Sheahan I don’t mind him on that line at all.

I think defensively it's probably the best line

Yep I'm seeing that his shooting talent is in the 6th percentile so perhaps that's the main issue.

I see. Guess the top 6 is doing what you expect from the bottom 6!

Irwin looks like a physical #7, not very impressed. Hate seeing ruotsalainen and borgen getting the pilut treatment. Come on adams.

Thats what it looks like, and to make matters worse we are probably bottom half at giving up high danger shots

Playing a low event style when you get zero saves isn’t a good recipe.

He plays well, it's more of a team problem. If owners decides to blow it up, then Pod + 1st maybe.

agreed. The goalies both could have helped against the isles, but I still see our d (team d) giving up prime scoring chances after we get stuck in 3 point land in the offensive zone. Its maddening

4th best, our defense has been stellar. If the offense did anything, the games would be completely different. especially because the goals against are usually soft goals from our goalies, or Okposo twirling around like a bantam leaguer. Thing is if we got the production we should out of our top 6, the soft goals wouldnt matter

No the majority of defensive stats this year are still top 10, some top 5. Our d is playoff caliber, and makes you wonder what a terrible team they are actually propping up with soft goalies and an elite top 6 that cant score
