GDT: #2 – Sabres at Blackhawks – Sat Oct 11, 8:30PM ET – MSG-B, Bell TV – WGR

[NotABadPeriod]

He just looks so much more dynamic and comfortable than he did last season. He'll be a cornerstone for this franchise

I'd like to see him get some PK time. The team doesn't draw enough PPs for him to get time that way, and he has to be better than Benoit, right?

 

[Samsonite23]

Balls.

Ha. I love archer.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

OMG Sky is falling!

OMG it's tied!?!?

and now you've caught up.

My summary is...

OMG McEichel is belongs on Buffalo!

OH NOES we get 16th place!

 

[Moskau]

Much better period. Much better game from Reinhart. Nice to see him stay when the Hawks tried to trap Myers so he was ready for the pass. I see it to many times where Myers gets trapped and no one's there as a release valve.

Myers and Gorges were pinned down for a good 10-15 seconds in the middle of the period because their forwards had no clue how to help.

Myers apologist

Hodgson trying to play defense is adorable.

It's beer league level.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

It's bridge deal level.

Fixed that.

 

[DapperCam]

I don't really see how a blocked shot is negative in Corsi. If it's blocked, it never even gets near the net.

 

[Jame]

It must be so boring to watch every game through so much bias

 

[ZZamboni]

I'm honestly shocked it's tied right now








Jinx jinx jinx

 

[Chainshot]

Chicago does no wrong, at least per the stripes.

 

[Samsonite23]

Stat during intermission said Girgensons has recorded 1 hit? Is that a joke?

 

[Sansbacon]

Zemgus with only 1 hit?

Ohhhh right right right, home team bias and such.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Because Corsi attempts to measure possession, not efficiency. A blocked shot means the other team had possession in order to shoot it.

 

[Clock]

Argh. Thought that was gonna go in.

 

[misterchainsaw]

It's a stat that tries to track possession. A blocked shot may not be a threat to score, but a lot of them are indicative of zone time for the other team. And zone time correlates pretty well with winning.

lol Stewart says "have a seat, bit**"

 

[phosphene*]

Seabrook is getting hammered tonight.

NHL.com boxscore has him with 3.

 

[Chainshot]

Apparently I typed too soon.

 

[DapperCam]

It's a stat that tries to track possession. A blocked shot may not be a threat to score, but a lot of them are indicative of zone time for the other team. Zone time correlates pretty darn well with winning.

Then why don't they just measure possession in the offensive zone (in minutes and seconds), instead of measuring a proxy for possession in the offensive zone?

 

[Myllz]

Ennis can't skate through 4 defenders? How weird.

 

[Baccus]

Top 2 pick Powerplay without a doubt...

 

[Myllz]

Mez can't even defend Saad even when he's lying on the ice.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Ennis can't skate through 4 defenders? How weird.

Crazy huh? Always worked for Afinogenov. Doesn't Ennis watch his old film?
