GDT: Vegas At Buffalo: 12:30 PM ET - We don't Know "Jack" Sh*t

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
In '22-23, Byram had 1:19 in TOI/Game on the PP, just a smidge more than Girard's 1:13 and way less than Toews (2:02) and of course Makar (4:01). He missed almost half the season.
In '23-24 prior to being traded, he had 0:52, just ahead of Girard's 0:48 and way off from Toews 1:19 and Makar's 4:05.

In Buffalo he's 1:12 this year so far, third to Dahlin's 3:14 and Power's 1:44.

Not only are there less minutes to go around in Buffalo than Colorado, he's getting more than he did in Colorado by percentage of total available.
But he hasn’t played on PP for a long time, when Dahlin was injured he played, but now Power is on PP2 and Byram is not there. They are now simply reducing his value. He gone with bad return.

None of that has anything more to do with today's game but there are lots of places to put that - also no justification that somehow the return will be bad due to limiting impacts of PPTOI. Good ES point production for defensemen is actually important too and Byram is 6th in the whole league at that.

So... back to today's game.

You'll see.
 
This is like watching an early FA Cup tie where a top PL side plays someone like Barnet and the only thing in doubt is how many goals they win by.
 
Great pressure but I'm pretty sure McLeod was offsides to start it all so it would have been for naught.
 
One of the things that died when they dealt Jack was having someone who can make that cross-seam pass through the box successfully. With Sam's departure, they lost the drag move to the net from below the goal line. They don't have anyone who can do either of those things and it means they still just have one play...
