    I really don't see how anyone could be unhappy with Johnson at this point.  There are many career backups in the NHL who would've fallen off the table in this situation.  Johnson has given the Sabres a chance to win every game.  They've only scored 1 goal in 3 out of their 5 games, FFS.

     

    My game notes:

     

    - That was a really good 60-minute team effort.  TB is a very good team and that game easily could've gone either way.

     

    - Having said that, dudacek is 100% right that their finishers gotta start finishing.  I think the fancystats improvement will eventually correlate to more wins, but Kane, Moulson, Ennis, Eichel, ROR, Gionta etc. need to light the lamp or it won't happen.

     

    - Zemgus had less than 14 min. of ice time last night. 

     

    - Pysyk had a nice game.  I saw him make a number of smart, crisp plays in the D-zone.  Not much contribution on the offensive end but hopefully that will come.

     

    - Reinhart also had a nice game and seemed to mesh well with ROR and Ennis.

     

    - ROR is a freaking horse.  I have zero concerns about his contract. 

     

    - I too like Gionta's "no moral victories" approach.  That's what you want from the captain.  They need to put a few wins together so they know there's a reward for playing as well as they played last night.

     

    - This is a much more enjoyable hockey watching experience than the last couple of years.  (No kidding!)

     

    Good post......I like what you said about Johnson, maybe he could turn out to be a good goalie for us..............I have noticed that his rebound control has been better the last two games...... :beer:

    I'm sorry to drop in without reading the posts. I will later. Promise.

     

    I just want to say that, when Eichel got to that loose puck, I stood up off the couch, put hands to the head and bellowed "Noooo, he didn't!" (Like, in delighted disbelief.) Scared the crap out of the kids, some of whom were unsure whether 15 had done something wrong.

     

    Then the goal. The kids hooted and hollered. I was still standing in the middle of the room, staring. In disbelief. One of the little ones asked, a little frightened?, "Are you okay?"

     

    "I can't believe what I just saw. I can't believe that kid is a Sabre."

     

    great post man........... :beer:
