Gonna be real interesting to see if Toronto can outscore Murray’s awful glove hand this year.

I think he seems like a genuinely nice person, but I can only shake my head at Dorion’s decision to trade for him in the first place, let alone extend him, and stare in puzzled amazement at Dubas’ plan to rely on Murray to save his job this year.

Scran means garbage/low quality but that seems to mean nothing as the votes are that it's good if it is scran. With it being a regional slangand the twitter account being very popular, scran is probably going to be changing meaning from bad to good.

Oof. Poor Murray.

He was so good during the two cup runs, and was nasty in the AHL before that. Really weird career trajectory so far.

drat the digital boards ads are on the regional broadcasts too. I was holding out hope that they’d only be A Thing on ESPN/TNT.

I actually don’t hate them that much except when they animate. And if having them means no more virtual ads on the glass, that’s a positive.

…but I’d still rather not have them

Those glass ads were the worst. Good riddance to those.

They've done the board ads at times on the Oilers broadcast. It wasn't animated so it wasn't too bad.

I’m gonna come out and say right now one of my dream scenarios for this team is that they suck so bad that Shanahan cleans house in December, poaches Brunette from the Devils, fire sales everyone in the D corps and starts relatively fresh next year with new goalies.

I’m pretty sure they’ll just be leaky but competent in front of bad goaltending en route to another first round exit and everyone getting extensions for no good reason, though.

You'll be shocked to know on a cursory glance at the usual trash I regurgitate that I am very confused by this contract and have a disagreement with JFresh's player card ranking him so high.

Mattias gets heavy defensive zone deployment. During those deployments he gives up an ok amount of shots with a 48/52 split. His actual outcomes suck. 41.5% actual goals for and worse he ranks 2nd on the team with 3.78 goals against per 60. The expected split is an improvement in that instead of suck out loud it is just bad with a 46% xG. A big part of this is because Buffalo's goaltending is quite bad. Other things to note - Owen power topped the xG chart with 55% in his 8 games. No one else topped 47%. Of the pairings Mattias played with he significantly hurt Dahlin and Fitzgerald. With Pysyk or Bryson numbers were improved. In terms of xG the only player that had improved expected numbers was him and Dahlin. Every other pairing was worse when he was added to it.


This is Matias at the Bills slaughter of Pittsburgh.

INLAND EMPIRE — This is a team with a lot of past, but little present. And almost no future.
I stayed at a friend's apartment in Brooklyn this past weekend that they had inherited from their aunt, who I guess was a big Rangers booster back in the day. I felt like a vampire in a cathedral, but it still felt pretty cool to brush shoulders with Real Hockey History.

Ducks hockey baybee
Ducks beybeee!

The team is exactly as good and as bad as expected. Weak backchecking, defense like swiss cheese and half the shots on goal compared to their opponent.

But that's okay when Terry is roofing backhanders, Ziggy is sniping top corners (and making fancy moves no one else is prepared to follow up on), Frankie is slapping the black off the puck and McTavish is making ice cold passes in the crease.

Every new addition to the team is looking great honestly (although it's a small sample size), but the old guard was largely unimpressive. The third line feels lacking in identity, being neither big scorers nor effective at shutting down offense.

I hope they can sneak into the playoffs so the young guns can cut their teeth a bit on the first round at least.

I thought Fehervary was at least busting his rear end. Carlson's effort on that Krejci goal was atrocious. (And typical for him.)

On the plus side, Orlov-Jensen pairing was quite good and that Strome-Mantha-Protas line was on fire.

We love this poo poo in Buffalo. He’s good at defense, the Sabres just had absolutely atrocious goaltending last year. If Anderson or UPL can stay healthy they will do better. Maybe not playoff caliber but anyway here’s tonight’s lines, probably:

Skinner-Thompson-Olofsson
Quinn-Mittelstadt-Tuch
Krebs-Cozens-Peterka
Girgensens-Asplund-Okposo

Samuelsson-Dahlin
Power-Jokiharju
Bryson-Lyubushkin

Anderson

Three of those players are 30 or older. The guys on the third line are each like 19-20 lol this season is going to be wild!
