I don't believe he was suggesting anyone be excited. It's one of those perspective things.
All it takes is a couple game winning streak and you're now the ones the other teams are gunning for.
How are more people not praising Ennis's hit on Georges? The little guy knocked the guy out the entire first period
Everyone should be excited we're tied for 13th? Or have surrendered the most goals in the NHL? Or that only Dallas gives up more SOG than we do? Or have the third worst goal differential in the conference? This is not a good hockey club. They're capable of being mediocre if they correct somethings, but I find it difficult to be excited about that.
Because it was out of character and not a "regular" thing with him. Sure it was great, but don't expect it again anytime soon.
We are so soft.
There should be at least one person whose job it is to research interesting and relevant information and provide it to RJ/Ray. As of right now it appears to be just RJ up the and Ray talking about how "nice" everything is.
Myers offensive game is non existant. 1 point in 11 games and that goal came in game 1. So Myers has a 10 game pointless streak... That screams #1 dman
I think you are just looking at a young man currently lacking confidence. If he can pick up his defensive end play, which he seems to be slowly doing, I suspect confidence will come back and the numbers will go up.
The last two games we've seen him rushing the puck a bit more, being more aggressive. Those are good signs.

I don't get the Stafford hate. I thought he had a really strong game and has looked good recently. He's just not scoring. But, he's playing with a lot of physicality and tenacity, and doing some good back-checking. He needs to drive the net a bit more, but I'm ok with his game. He'll go on a scoring streak pretty soon, I think.
For all of the gloom and doomers:
Sabres 1 point back of 8th place Carolina (CAR has 2 games in hand).
Sabres 2 points back of 7th place Toronto (TOR has 0 games in hand).
That's the problem. He's paid to score or help other people score goals. He's produced almost no offense, all of his assits are either secondary or were the product of chances created the goal scorer.
He's also not far behind Jordan Leopold in the race to -100.
You can make anecdotal statements all you want, but Stafford is the poster boy for this team right now: Lots of pucks go in the net when he's on the ice and he's doing almost nothing offensively.
Stafford has some tools but appears to have negative hockey sense. He just doesn't make plays for other people, and when Ennis isn't creating for him he's basically useless.
Then I want someone newHe's like 107? He's not going to be good forever.
Three assists tonight, including the play that set up the tying goal. Tonight is probably the wrong night to call for his benching.
