But there is always the pesky issue of choosing the RIGHT person.

I was told they had none.

No major sports outlet is reporting this. This is just Twitter click bait.

That's my point. @GASabresIUFAN was arguing 32 teams/32 goalies which is not reality.

Show me an NHL team with only one goalie.

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.

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?

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.

You are saying is the Sabres goaltending is within 3-thousandths of league average.

So if the Sabres won cups in, say 1975, 1999 and 2006, you'd be fine with how things are doing?

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.

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.

Levi is not playing at an elite level this season. You should watch a couple games.

We tend to forget Detroit is right behind us in the playoff drought parade.

He takes his role as captain seriously?

That makes you an expert to comment on state of the building.

Benson might be the key. Let's see how they do when he gets back. Then Norris could be playing within 2-3 weeks. 🤷‍♂️

He definitely took a shot off his lower leg.

Not everyone was happy last night.

We need 6 wins in a row to put us back on a 95-point pace. Oh the red wings definitely pissed it away.

What does that have to do with getting hit by a puck?

They would have to play at a .617 pace to reach 95.

Levi was rough early. 3 goals on 11 shots and 2 were not good. Settled down and made those saves like Leone wanted.

I'd like to as well. I might get a boost if Benson is back soon.
