>Leaguewide, among blueliners who’ve played 30 or more minutes against opponents’ top lines, Samuelsson ranks second with a 64.1-percent expected goals share during those minutes, per Stathletes. Simply put, he’s been effective at limiting elite scorers’ chances from the slot and high-danger areas, while also helping Buffalo generate offense at the other end.
Sammy apologies due by EOD tomorrow
Who would’ve thought he earned that A when he was given it? I’m sure many in this sub including myself thought there were better candidates for the alternate captain.
Pretty crazy it was expected they’d cut him last offseason and Adams gave that fake news speech about it.
Now the long term deal potential has been realized.
Sammy 5 goal, thanks for preserving .
I hope to call ya Sammy 6 goal by tomorrow, but I’d gladly take a win tomorrow instead, if given the choice.
