Formerly Allan in MD

Worse

Who honestly would want him as an NHL starter? Nelson is terrible. Get Guhle in and keep him here.

A goalie as slow as Lehner has no business being way outside the crease with action buzzing all around him. Two easy goals were scored because he was unable to even attempt to get back. As the NBC announcers suggested early in the game, just because the initial shot doesn't go in it doesn't mean you're not going to score on him. Sabres didn't deserve to lose the way they did. After Ullmark's 40 some save game and allowing only one goal, I was hoping he be back in the net. Lehner was Murray's boy and we're still paying for it.

Thank you sir. Who cares about Housley's wardrobe?

Sabres need to keep playing Ullmark.

Top football picks can help you immediately. High hockey picks are usually development projects. One reason is because the former are usually older and more experienced than hockey picks.

He certainly made Brent Musburger look like the fool he is.

We certainly knew they weren't in Buffalo.

Play Ullmark, please.

Plus one.

Looks shorter than listed 6'0"

Play Ullmark already. What do they have to lose, except perhaps the first pick in the draft.

We have nothing to lose by playing Ullmark. You'll never know what he's ready to do unless you play him. It's not like we're in the fight, are ultra solid in the net, and are risk adverse.

Historically, the Sabres don't, especially on the power play.

Goals

Nothing wrong with the drop pass. it's very effective when executed properly. It also enables you to get the lead forward in front of the net for a rebound or deflection. Watch the teams that execute it properly closely.

Best lines I've ever seen in Buffalo were actually back in the old AHL days: Gaye Stewart, Ed Slowinski, and Donnie Marshall, for instance, in the mid '50s. On that same team we had eight guys who scored 20 or more goals.

Now you're talkin'.

Yes, crash the net. But that doesn't work well if you don't shoot the puck. All kinds of perimeter passing to set up the ideal shot usually leads to a turnover, a block, or a bad shot. Shoot the damned puck and have someone up front to screen and/or pick up the garbage. There are those who've made doing that a HOF career.

Deep analysis is great, but a bit of luck for a change would also help (like a Tom Brady draft moment). Applies to the Bills as well, in this sports cursed city.

For the Sabres, it's dejavu all over again. For how many seasons now have we been questioning the effort?

Like that line.

Griffith looked heady. I liked Rodrigeus last season.

Pay him to keep him (or possibly trade him down the road) but make sure the contract includes a stringent behavior clause. Any team that signs him should insist on it. If the clause is a problem for Kane, he won't get the money he wants anywhere unless, of course, someone's truly adverse to risk or just plain dumb.

Everyone seems to be forgetting Guhle. He should be in the mix.
