I'm having a lovely evening

the kerning of the text in "Icing" made my brain read "king" at first and now I can't unsee it

a true trailblazer

Ok I hate to be ~that guy~

Sabres are buzzing right now, yes. And they're winning right now. And I'm loving it! But... they need to be generating more xG than this. This is another example of what I talked about last game.

Sabres are 4-7-1. If their special teams were even close to average, they're at least 6-5-1. Chart by @jfreshhockey.bsky.social (posted on twitter).

Per Meghan Chayka on twitter: Dylan Cozens has the 3rd most scoring chances in the league without a goal. Zach Hyman and Carter Verhaeghe are the two players "more snakebit" right now. Not bad company to be in.

This is what I'm envisioning for that kind of scenario (sloppily worked up in powerpoint lol)

Pens feed has invented a new part of hockey, the "penality". It's an adjective meaning "how penal one has behaved".

Did I convince anyone that's an actual word?

Sabres performances in tonight's game per @hockeystatcards.bsky.social (posted on their X account). Hint: everybody played quite well.

Not as early as I thought tbh, but still pretty good.

After the first preseason game and the impressive showings by Benson and Ryan Johnson on D, that's now looking like:

1) Benson
T2) Rousek/Rosén
3) Biro
