    Well, I think you'd have to include guys like Lehner and Andersen who weren't starters when acquired, and when that group is included, I think there are going to be a few guys available every year who are as good or better than Lehner, available for less than the #1 that the Sabres gave up for him and won't cost a huge FA contract either. I also disagree that Halak is a downgrade and that Bishop and Anderson are lateral moves.

    Highly (and irrationally) underappreciated, IMHO. What if McCoy is out or severely limited -- and TT ekes out a W anyway? It could happen. Very nice. Outstanding.

    It depends on what it costs to keep Lehner. Another short-term deal? I can live with it if nothing better is out there. A deal that commits the Sabres to Lehner as the starter for 3 years? NFW. Not as easily as Pouliot, but easier to replace than, say, Scandella.

    Yessir. I am holding out hope for 75K fans in the Ralph sometime in the next 2 seasons for a Leafs-Sabres matchup. Winter Classic is probably not realistic, but I think it would be a very strong Stadium Series game. This too. And this. And this. Overstated but a good amount of truthy stuff in here. Optimistic use of past tense here. This is obnoxious.

    Another great save.
  6. nfreeman
    I am not coming around on him, but that was a very good save.

    ref-cam is pretty cool.

    Sabres have allowed 14 shots in less than 10 min.
  9. nfreeman
    Correct.
  10. nfreeman
    I like it. No more shots, drams or snifters. The Bills are in the playoffs and the gloves are off.

    Drane and I did. Very nice here too. Maybe the ocean liner has turned in the right direction.
  12. nfreeman
    Very nice. And: awesome!

    Holy mackerel.

    3rd and 15. Looking grim.

    End of discussion. Separately: As a frequent critic of Lehner's, I will note that the GTG was not saveable and while a save would've been nice on the GWG, Risto let a decent NHL goalscorer cruise into the slot and coil up for a wrister. That's a much bigger fail by the supposed #1 defenseman than by the goalie.

    This.

    I saw it today with a bunch of family members. About 1/3 of us liked it and 2/3 did not. I was in the group that liked it, but like the superhero movies I don't expect much out of these other than popcorn entertainment. There were some amazing scenes, to be sure. I read the thread but didn't see any suggestions as to when the spoiler ban should end. Does anyone have a preference? Jan. 31?

    Great stats GA.

    i too would rather keep Kane than KO, but no one is going to take that contract.

    Optimistic, but interesting and certainly possible. This too. The problem is that he looks bad enough that this is certainly possible too. Also somewhat optimistic but also quite possible.
  21. nfreeman
    yes indeedly.

    LTS -- i don't disagree that the emotional reaction doesn't necessarily signify incompetence. But the key point remains that IF his plan relied on getting McD, it was a bad and foolish plan.
  23. nfreeman
    For me a lot will depend on how many wins he puts up. I know it's a team game, but I gotta see him close out games, including in the SO, to feel like he gives his team confidence in front of him.

    Good work Flagg and congrats on getting past that 1st semester.

    But I think arbitration only yields a 1- or 2-year deal, innit?
