    I'm not worried about +/-. He had 32 points in the lockout shortened season and a productive season the next despite the awful team the sabres iced. He did his part those two seasons, offensively at least. Defensively, he was terrible.

        Gionta!

        Not much action in the offensive zone in that period, except in the last couple of minutes. Big goal with 35 secs left.

                  I know it's early and there's a whole lot more hockey to be played but be honest who here thought this team would be .500 and in 5th place in the Atlantic (as the Sabres leapfrog two teams with this win over the Panthers)

                    After a slow start, it's good to see this thing turning in the right direction. While I missed the game, I see (again) the opponent with double the shots on goal. They've got work to do yet.

                      We came into the game top 5 in shots per. Twice in the last week we've been heavily outshot and won. I guess I don't see the issue when we're winning the statistically outlying games.

                        IF the Sabres end this season with anywhere near a .500 record, the rebuild will be a tremendous success. Review the record of the Chicago Blackhawks in the first year (2007-08) after their tank & rebuild. They didn't make the playoffs in that first year, but they bounced back from a bottom of the standings team to a solid .500 team; then it was upward and onward from there.

                        IF the Sabres have a 2007-08 Blackhawks kind of year, then GMTM's rebuild is wildly successful and on-track for playoff contention in 2016-17 and forward.

                        per play average than the Bills' offense!

                          A team goes from not checking anyone for 2 years to playing the opposition tight and checking very well. That creates opportunities and confidence.

                            Yeah, and actual players too - there are no Leinos or Hodgsons on this team; thank goodness! :)

                              I'd imagine both people in the stadium last night enjoyed the game.

                                It'd odd even being .500.
