Monday Musings

Too two tough tries versus New York teams

Sabres Mr. Benson earns two assists versus the Islanders

Buffalo begins a four-game home stand that should go a long way in reversing this sluggish start with the fourth game hosting the Islanders in our brawny black & red sweaters for repayment.

ESPN FHL

After the first weekly match-up, five teams are undefeated and five teams are winless, fortunately, BW is one of three teams in the East Division to be in the win column.

Two teams have utilized the waiver wire to their advantage in the past two days, notice BW dropped a goaltender keeping one on the roster, perhaps too much trust in these two unproven goalies but it is too early to give up on Mr. Levi.

Referees first week

During the first week of play, there were 41 games and the referees whistled 338 penalties that resulted in 259 power plays with the home team getting 133 (7 more overall) favorable calls and 24 (7 more) victories, a negligible advantage.

The average was 8.2 penalties and 6.3 power plays per game with the home team getting 2.54 power plays versus 2.05 power plays for the visiting team, after one week the home team enjoys a slight advantage in calls.

In the first game, all eyes will be on Awesome Matthews to see if he can score his third consecutive Hat Trick versus the Blackhawks.
