Most of these guys would take any sniff at an NHL job they can get

Perfect. Bring any of them in. At worst it doesn't work out and you've lost basically nothing. At best it makes the Sabres better and then you can trade him or Anderson or Tokarski at the deadline. There's really no reason not to do it.

I'm wondering if the Sabres should just do what Edmonton did a few years ago with Koskinen and grab some vet Euro goalie who is dominating in some Euro league and give him a chance?

Cursed GDT

Tokarski didn't get much work last night, he should be fine to go again tonight.

Not that I don't think Murray, with the right coaching, couldn't be better than Dell or Tokarski, but I'd like the Sabres to aim just a little higher if they're really committed to improving the goaltending situation. This team is scoring enough goals to be solidly middle of the pack in the East. They deserve a good goalie, they've earned it.

I don't think I've ever attended a Sabres loss that I was less upset about.

Tokarski might be barely NHL level but he got hung completely out to dry. It might have been one of the worst games I've ever seen from skaters.

I have never watched less of a game I was physically at

I will note that I was a little concerned with like a minute left in the game when Skinner was out there to get it into the garage. Granato basically saying "you're on the team, you're going to play when we need you to" even if it's a terrible idea, is fine with me lol

Spicy. I like it. I think Adams also agrees with you...

It's compelling, though, that Ullmark has been pretty mediocre for Boston so far this season. At the moment Adams' choice to walk away looks shrewd. We'll see how it looks as the season goes on but...

Running the Tokarski-Dell tandem for a few more weeks is going to be dangerous. Tokarski has played well, but he really needed to be splitting time with Anderson. Carrying more of the workload is more likely to end with him injured because he's a cusp NHL talent who's body will break down at this pace and playing behind this roster. We might get to see UPL soon anyway.

I'm always gonna be bummed, btw, that we didn't take Draisaitl in that draft. I didn't have a problem with Sam but I definitely liked Draisaitl more. Bluh.

@SwampD he heard you

Every goal in this game is squirrelly

Thompson having a pretty good game all things considered.

These deflections are no fun

Signs of life

Another tough deflection on a screen. Bummer.

The biggest concern for a guy like Tokarski is that there's just no way his body is going to hold up to getting this much work every game. He's playing very well, but playing at the top of his game every night when he's a fringe NHL goalie is just going to wear him out. It feels like an injury is inevitable.

There is just no where near enough talent on this roster. Which is, of course, not news lol

Donny been reading my posts

Anderson is day to day with an upper body injury of some kind

I gotta be honest, I'd try Dahlin with Pysyk or Hagg. They've both been doing pretty good work getting HEAVY D-zone starts. So maybe split that pair up and divide the grit across two pairs instead of one. It could fail horribly, but it's not like we have any reason not to try it.
