It is really interesting so far this season.

This chart points out the consistency problem with this team.. we are pretty much on par with Florida on goals scored and goals against yet they know how to win.

It's almost like the Panthers roster being roughly 3 years older per player (25.2yo vs 28yo) might make a difference.

Maybe some day a Sabres GM will allow for the roster to become older and more experienced.

Maybe some day a Sabres GM will allow for the roster to become older and more experienced.

Or even younger, when Rosen and Kulich replace Greenway and Zucker.

Odd to see that of the top 10 goal scorers in the league going into yesterday's games, only 2 of the 10 have ever been traded.

And Buffalo factored in both. Reinhart (leading the league) and Thompson.

The Bruins at -16 and 3rd in the division is wild. One of those 2 stats has to normalize.

Hampus Lindholm being out long term won't help them.

This is what I was expecting to happen last season as the balance of power begins to shift in the Atlantic. Perhaps it is happening now. If so for at least one year I think it will be very tight as the previous heavy hitters begin their decline while the up and comers continue to improve.

Watched parts of a couple of Bruin games and they're struggling to be consistent. It's very un-Bruinlike of them.

Also, I missed seeing this the other day:

Hope Chytil is okay. Another concussion and this one from one of his teammates is such bad luck.

Lol. Detroit lost to Anaheim..

We lost to Montreal =(

We lost to Montreal =(

And Buffalo gets their chance to lose to Anaheim next week.

I was thinking of following up with that, but didn't want to be so negative

It’s a league where anybody can beat anyone.San Jose beat New Jersey in a shutout and then New Jersey went into Florida paddle the Stanley Cup champion back to back. Such a weird league.

 

[Weltschmerz]

Another strange GI call in the Bruins game.

Reaves given a 5-game suspension for his high hit on Nurse.

Reaves given a 5-game suspension for his high hit on Nurse.

Should have been 10+. That was as textbook intended hit to the head that you'll see. And its not like Reeves doesn't have a history of this shit.

The head of DOPS is a literal no talent goon.

Absolutely disgusting.

Isles' Reilly needs heart procedure, out 'months'

New York Islanders defenseman Mike Reilly, 31, will undergo a heart procedure on Tuesday that will sideline him indefinitely, the team announced on Monday, and the veteran didn't know he had a condition until it was found during testing for a concussion.

New York Islanders veteran defenseman Mike Reilly will undergo a heart procedure on Tuesday that will sideline him indefinitely, the team announced Monday.

Reilly didn't know he had a heart condition until it was found during testing for a concussion that he sustained during a 4-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Nov. 1. He landed on injured reserve because of that concussion and has missed New York's past seven games.

"It was picked up through the different echocardiograms that you do for different reasons that you go through with any post-concussion situation," Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello said of the heart problem. "It's probably a blessing in disguise of what transpired. They detected this, something that you're sometimes born with but never knew."
Lamoriello said it could be "several months" before Reilly is back on the ice.

 

[Chainshot]

So Greenway may have saved Reilly's life? Wild.

 

[Chainshot]

Oh, I see Taylor f***wit Hall is surprised that his level of suck has earned him a healthy scratch. That guy... nothing good.
