Maybe Anderson is getting ADR done like all the cool kids are.

So Toker and Subban with UPL in a pinch?

They'll make the playoffs this year. Here's how. Half the league will be out on Covid protocol just as we get Tuch in the lineup as well as Peterka, Quinn and Krebs on call-up. We go on a tear just as the NHL announces another 24-round playoff bubble. We get in on the final game.

From? 35 years old, currently a free agent. "Will you accept a $750K deal? Welcome to the Sabres!"

Who? Just about every pundit.

There's a lot to unpack here.

So Anderson is month-to-month?? What happened? There may well be another goalie deal coming.

Not like he missed any games.

How many years (or weeks) does Adams get to fix things? Everyone says they are patient but are they really? For a season with zero expectations there are sure a lot of them.

Which is what I've been saying. There's a tendency to look only at the end result and not the breakdowns leading to it.

Brian Gionta addresses this very topic on the latest After The Whistle. He thinks goaltending is less of an issue than what's happening in front of the goalie Go to the 22:35 mark: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/after-the-whistle-with-andrew-peters-craig-rivet/id1590573108?l=es

The goaltending could be better for sure, but most of our goals result when we get stuck in our end unable to break out. Then it's cycle-cycle-cycle-GOAL. Then I read comments like the Sabres are getting passive in games, not trying to score. The reality is other team are pressing us and we can't get out of our own ends.

But many of those goals stem from defensive breakdowns. If you don't acknowledge that then you can swap goalies every day and not improve.

The Hawks are 7-3 in their last 10. So does Subbs start Saturday?

The Aaron Dell era comes to a close.

Hard to go on offense when you can't get out of your own end.

It's that and he's selling out to stop what's in front of him by coming out so far. If he doesn't control the rebound the net is wide open on either side.

Okay.

Good. He won't be ready for the next shot.

Glad we didn't give one up late. Let's keep it up.

Well this crowd makes me feel less embarrassed.

Ugh, Dell.

Might as well. He'll be in by the 2nd period when Dell gets pulled.
