How many shots are the Sabres going to allow there!

Blocked a shot So plowing the goalie is legal and so is shoveling a puck that's covered up.

Did he shoot it off Lyon's head?

Defense makes your goaltending better.

Lyon has a shutout going in my book.

Not me. Because we wouldn't get away with that. Based on 4 preseason games, he is.

What do you want to see?

That's how you score a goal.

So plowing the goalie into the net to score is allowed now?

Paul's annual review...

Inertia. Buffalo radio is full of it.

Smarter decisions instead of dumb decisions? Eureka!

I don't believe Terry is pinching pennies. He has a larger coaching and front office staffs than most teams. You point at $5MM in unspent cap as some kind of proof while he's paying for 2 GMs (Kev & Jarmo) and a half dozen assistants. If he was that cheap why does he do that? Did you know Jan and her $60K salary costs Terry over $90K when you add in unemployment taxes, benefits and employer contributions? If you've never hired people you wouldn't know that. I don't know how many people work for the Sabres and what expenses beyond salaries there are. But I can be 100% sure that the player salaries are not the teams only expense.

I don't know. What other expenses are there? Teams have more employees than just players. What about rent, taxes, insurance? Are you aware that a salary is only about 60% of the cost of an employee?

There is a difference between franchise values and operating in the red. Does $180MM/yr pay the bills? I don't know all the Sabres expenses.

Not poorly but he's getting beat more.

Everybody just standing on the blue line, duh.

I have to see that goal again, but you can't just look at the end result. You have to see what led to it. Maybe they'll show a replay.

I think this is Mrtka's back to earth game.

Yes.

Bryson failed to tie up his man. Results in a goal. That was more on 78 than 40. See my comment. Look at Bryson. He let that guy knock the pick in. He should have tied him up

He's played for bad teams that couldn't defend. He was good when the team in front of him is stronger.

They signed Georgiev to ensure Levi stays in Rochester.

Sabres caught in their end. Lucky to get out of it. Why can't Georgiev be good again? Everyone assumes he's spent.
