    I can't get there with ya. This group with all its warts in goal have gotten us within hailing distance of the playoffs. They deserve to play it out. Anderson the cagey vet or Comrie with a recent shutout work for this game. How does it play in the lockerroom is one concern of mine. On a technical level there's the critical issue of communication between goalie and esp. D.

    This is about showcasing the future. Again, the present can go to Hell.

    Honestly after year of ups and mostly downs for our goaltending trio... I honestly think our chances are better with the unkown.
    If the lockerroom is bothered by this decision then they should of played better and not let us be in this position to begin with. I doubt this move is causing lockeroon issues.

     

    the trio ***** the bed after the Allstar break (along with most of the team) and down the final stretch. I just have little confidence in them and would rather take the chances with Levi. Hopefully some spectacular G work can inspire the team to do the improbable

     

    Whether Levi is really ready to go and provide that spark is a question we are waiting to have answered.

    Goaltending 

    I agree... I kind of lump Goaltending into the defense with my comment..... but yeah the Gs have mostly been a let down

     

    Hopefully the answer is here with Levi, but we need to upgrade our Gs. UPL is not happening, he is what he is. Woefully incosistent and I don't think at this point he is fixable... Cromrie doesn't look like a keeper either

  3. Sure seems like half of the league is gutting its pipeline for the win now mentality. 

    For many of these teams it will come home to roost.... IF the Sabres can continue to improve there all around game while continuing to lock up the core we could be peaking while many of those spend now teams start decending into the valley of retool/rebuild

    From what people are saying about Sabres Twitter, that is worse. 

     

     

    This is not well known but

     

    TWITTER IS FOR TWITS!!!

     

    for every dozen Sabres fans who are grounded in rational thought and don't over react on every whim they have, you will have one over zealous loud mouth who has to be heard and is incapable of rational thought and/or discussion. That same loud mouth is also incapable of saying what they needed to say and just letting it go

     

    This is true for every single sports team on the planet.

    The problem with this argument is that every single thing you described can also happen with a junior or European player. So why the animosity towards only one source of players?

    well then let me up the ante.. you get drafted you sign with that team...  if you do not get drafted then your a FA but you must enter the draft to become a pro in the NHL and earn your right to be a UFA by doing your time in the league 1st, or by being passed up by all the teams in the draft you entered...

  6. I am not a fan of the UFA for college players if they refused to sign

    As far as I'm cocnerned you were drafted you sign with the team that drafted you, if your unhappy demand a trade... but I will always be in the the teams who drafts you gets to sign you column and NO UFA for those players. You don't like it play in Europe or Russia. If you want to be a UFA do your time in the league, not college.

    People may disagree with me, but I will never change my view on this one ...

    If I was the other team on the PK I would simply leave one guy dedicated to face-guarding Tage at all times and not let him set up the one timer.

    That would be awesome because I'm confident the other 4 players on the ice will make the opposing team pay dearly. You shift coverage on a PK the rest of Sabres would have much more room they could take advantage of

  8. Got to watch the entrie game last night... Great 1st period, Where did that team go in the 2nd period ?  And they didn't wake up it seemed like till they fell behind in the 3rd

    Forecheck seems pretty ferocious at times, 

    Tage is amazing with his ability to be patient when there are defenders swarming around him in front of the net, that OT goal was a sight to behold.... again

    When was the last time we had a winning record in January ?

  9. G will have to come in the offseason. Nobody is giving up a #1 or #2 G mid season.

     

    D at trade deadline but they will go to teams in the playoffs who give up major assets.

     

    We need a major overhaul to the G department which includes drafting another one early and shoring up the pipeline

    We do need some D upgrades but those should be available if we are looking for a 3/4 D type player... Still won't be cheap.

     

     

    As for whom we chose, I haven't a clue
