4 goals in three games??

The Sabres better start scoring...that house of cards will blow down faster than Monica and Bill. Worst offense in the league.

5 out of 6 points and the best defense in the league.

...house of cards... Name the last time an NHL franchise gave up 1 goal a game over the course of any season let alone one that lasts 82 games. They'll get eaten alive by the Western teams.

Yes but they also have the best Goals Against average in the league...

When was the last time a team averaged under 2 goals a game at the end of the season?

So you really think they are going to keep up only scoring one goal a game, but won't keep up the gaa?

So the good stops and the bad will continue?

I had this discussion with Op the other day.

We all know they need to score. The good news is that they are generating chances and have gotten 5 points while averaging just over one goal a game.

You would think they have started the season 0-3-0 reading this thread.

I would rather they wait until tomorrow night.................

FEWEST GOALS SCORED, ONE SEASON: 189 1968-69
FEWEST GOALS AGAINST, ONE SEASON: 167 1997-98

Do you want to play those odds? I don't.

Re: 4 goals in three games??

It is 3 games into the season.

I think things are going to change.

At least they are winning games they would have lost in regulation last year.

Watching this team?? I can't see them continuing this defensive play for much longer...it's also more boring than listening to paint dry.

correct....2-0-1 in the previous three could turn into 0-3-0 in the next three with a couple of quick goals against.

The opener was a fun game to watch.

So they won't continue the defensive play, but will continue the offensive play?

Huh?

C'mon. For starters, they are using Myers and Butler on the PP. In theory, those two will improve. They are also getting shots (something they did not always do last year). They are crashing the net. They are playing physical.

Besides, would you rather they be boring and have 5 out of 6 points, or exciting and have 3?

Or 3-0-0 with a goal or two more scored.

The Bills would have won 10-6 had Cleveland allowed them to score.

They didn't.

they keep scoring 1.33 or even 1.99 goals a game and after 40 games they'll be 15th in the conference.
