  1. One of Canada's ESPN-type channels. They have 3.
  2. Oh look. Power play goal. How 'bout that.
  3. I like how aggressively Ellis plays the puck.
  4. I thought that too but that's a big flub.
  5. I feel like if UPL asked for a trade this year we'd be talking about it. https://oilersnation.com/news/wwydw-how-edmonton-oilers-can-acquire-top-goaltender
  6. I thought Bettman was the matchmaker there?
  7. I believe Terry did that when he bought the team. That's why he ended up with Pat LaFontaine.
  8. How can I take your argument seriously? You are declaring Ellis no good after 2 starts? You also switch between goals against average and save percentage depending which stat looks worse to make your case.
  9. But there is always the pesky issue of choosing the RIGHT person.
  10. No major sports outlet is reporting this. This is just Twitter click bait.
  11. That's my point. @GASabresIUFAN was arguing 32 teams/32 goalies which is not reality.
  12. More like 17th out of 64 because it includes backups. Not that bad now is it? You're also ignoring he's 5th best among goalies playing 12+ games.
  13. Okay. Any way you slice it the stats say Lyon is above average. Now look at the teams those better goalies play on. Colorado? Winnipeg? Las Vegas?
  14. Right now Alex Lyon is 23rd in the league in save percentage. .907. And that includes goalies who've played just one game. He's 5th among goalies with 12 or more starts.
  15. You are saying is the Sabres goaltending is within 3-thousandths of league average.
  16. So if the Sabres won cups in, say 1975, 1999 and 2006, you'd be fine with how things are doing?
  17. It's not "clear" at all. Lyon has been very good. So has Ellis. UPL less so. If we played a modicum of defense, or stopped turning the puck over in our end, we would be above .500 now.
  18. I don't think you do know what our goaltending is because you tend to see goals allowed strictly as function of goaltending, and not the end result of team play. Just like hope, expecting a goalie to win you every game standing on his head while his team does absolutely nothing in front of him, is a sh***y strategy. Goalies are voodoo. He's in a funk right now. All goalies go through down periods. He has to play himself right.
  19. Levi is not playing at an elite level this season. You should watch a couple games.
  20. We tend to forget Detroit is right behind us in the playoff drought parade.
