Only one game today, but tomorrow all 32 are playing.

Who's the idiot at NHL HQ who did this scheduling?

That 5 days off after we waited 4 months to watch hockey wasn't cool.

Incredible! I am not conflicted about my feelings for this GDT! I want to ride a Buffalo now!

GHG!

 

[Adam Michaels]

Habs are first in the league for face-off percentage. Who predicted that?

Good question. It definitely is a terrible schedule so far.

The season officially starts now. We will finally get some games to watch regularly.

Who made this stupid schedule to give us so many games off right off the bat like that?

Money with around ~64 percent. Super high. Hopefully he keeps it up. Faceoff % is one of those obscure stats that I completely buy into. Controlling the puck more often over the entire season directly leads to more opportunities for goals, more goals, and ultimately more wins.

I remember the years we had Yanic Perrault. He was money on the dot.

Evans is also at 64% and Suzuki is at 63%.

Couldn't say it better.

 

[morhilane]

People are complaining about the Habs PP, but the Caps were at 0% and Sabres are at 6.3%. They have a very good PK thought, unlike the Caps.

I expect an ugly high scoring chances game.

Not just Monahan.

Suzuki is at 63% so far.
Evans is at 64%

And then you have some wingers who take face-offs when the center is kicked out. And even the wingers are winning most of their face-offs.

Newhook is the only one struggling, especially since he was put at center. But the two first games he played wing, he had one game at 50% (4 face-offs) and the other game at 67% (6 face-offs).

Dach’s injury is already paying off

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

So, tomorrow is why all the games start within like a 15 minute interval ?

 

[Habbietat]

just want to give appreiciate to having Cole Caufield on this team, what a man, what a player, we are lucky to have him and I think he can start pulling Patty Kane numbers up eventually, that being said Benson hatty tonight

Who starts in net? Monty had a 43 save win in Buffalo last season...

It's also something contenders look for at the TDL.

But any stats right now are reliable, not only because it's a small sample size, but also because 50% of our games have been against bad teams (Washington, Chicago).

Only one game today, but tomorrow all 32 are playing.

Who's the idiot at NHL HQ who did this scheduling?

Not just one game, but a game between 2 teams that are currently mostly irrelevant to NHL fans. Yesterday’s 2 games were CGY/DET and ANA/BOS, not exactly enticing matchups. Can’t say I agree with goofy Travis Yost on anything but the NHL has essentially gone dark two days in a row lol

 

[JianYang]

So rds and Sportsnet have this game?

That means it's a national game in English and a regional game in French?

Weird.

Nice GDT! *plays dead or alive by bon jovi*

So it's payback day?

Michel Therrien, Martin Biron and various other media guys told us the Sabres will seek revenge...bring it lol
