I thought that was Grimsby?

We could get Thomas Vanek back from Detroit for a bag of pucks. I say do it. The salmon needs to come back to its spawning grounds to drop its load.

Rub some ice on it, Skin.

I'll say this, I bet the Lightning hope they don't face the Sabres in the playoffs. For whatever reason we are a tough out for them.

You'd be doing him a big favor. Look at the last string of players we've cut or traded.

He's forcing someone's hand tonight.

Wheels flying off... again.

Trying to lose this.

I'm outta here. I think there's an AAF game to watch.

Heads in the game, boys. Heads in the game.

Especially when the team is starting to revert to form....back into pumpkins.

Can the Sabres earn 32 points over the final 26 games?

Sobotka is so useless

I guess that's what Rhino is talking about. Need our goalies to save them when they do stupid stuff

Dahlin is moving backwards. So much for Housley tutoring him.

Another chasing-your-tail session resulting in a goal by an uncovered man.

Well I've played that position for years so I'm partial. There's an expectation that you are supposed to stop everything, even when it's not possible for human reaction time to move that fast. A goalie simply can't cover the entire net so a shooter that can exploit the openings will score. It's not an indictment of goalkeeping prowess. In fact half the time "amazing saves" are simply hitting the goalie and missing what's open. A good way to measure how amazing a save is how much a goalie moved to cover what was open when the shooter shot. But seriously the five guys on the ice don't get enough blame for their screw-ups that lead to goals.

I would disagree. He's won us far more games than lost. On the other hand I can point to DOZENS of turnovers every game that are prime scoring chances.

I think players got too reliant on Hutton and Ullmark standing on their heads to mask their defensive deficiencies. And just to be clear, when I say our defense sucks, I'm taking about all five skaters.

Our goalies might have one bad goal in ten. Meanwhile our defense has 7 or 8 blunders that lead to goals out of ten. I might be out on a limb but in going to say our defense sucks hard.

Yeah, we say a lot of sh#t we regret later.

Meanwhile we scored 13 goals in those 3 games. 4.3 goals per game and went 1-2!!!! Pathetic defense, fer sher.

? Of course we were going flush that dramatic comeback away.

This team is a crap sandwich, in that we are pretty good and scoring and goaltending. Just the middle (defensive zoneplay) is crap.

Season heading down the crapper. What we have is toilet paper.
