Not a bad SOG advantage after three games. If that keeps up pucks will go in eventually. I won't necessarily expect that advantage to keep pace, but normally they get outshot the last two years, so it's a nice change.

In fairness, despite the shot advantage the other teams have had almost the same quality scoring chances. With Miller though, equal or better in that category is a win.

Goddamn. 116 shots in three games. Ridiculous.

Yeah, those are red wing-like numbers. I wouldn't mind us pulling up and being a bit more selective in those shots though.

116-4...that's the ratio sog to goals. I know it's hard to get it in the net but that's not a good ratio...They need to find a way to get it in the net

I was saying that watching the game last night, that the Sabres are FINALLY blasting pucks at the net.
Unfortunately, we've played against three great goalies!

The powerplay is abominable - Fix that, and watch the goal-totals skyrocket...

We look great. Eventually, the pucks will start going in, and we'll be a top 4 team in the East.

Ice is right...the powerplay woes are keeping the goal totals down. Also, with weaker goalies will be higher goals-for totals.

Jason LaBarbera is not a great goalie. Nor is Carey Price. I'd say we've played against one good goalie, one mediocre goalie and one great goalie.

While it's encouraging, it's not going to play out like this once we play some of the better teams.

Still; we had a tendency to fall asleep against the weaker teams over the last two years; so this is a good sign.

while that number looks encouraging, i think faceoffs might be a different story...anyone know what the faceoffs won/lost so far is ?

Manning the machine gun on the Tyler Myers Bandwagon - just in case any teams have an idea of prying him away from us (3 GM's shot already)

Our faceoffs weren't so good...I'm on it.

OK, fuck that noise. I cannot find compiled face-off numbers anywhere, and I am not feeling doing the work myself. Someone else wanna do it?
