What do you think UPL is thinking with management playing Reimer as much as they have, knowing the season is over? How will he respond next year, knowing that they didn't want to play him at all the last few weeks of the seaon (and with Reimer playing so well)? That has to affect his psyche and his relationship with management, no?
Last time he was looked past for a "playoff race" was the year we fell 1 short and Levi stole the show. UPL did however come back gangbusters the following year.

Ya, they won the first 2 games after the deadline and both guys looked fast (everything's relative) and Bruins fans went what is this madness? Are they good?
Reality has set in and now they are saying do not sign or keep. Mixed on Jokiharju maybe but Mittelstadt is being hated on along with his game completely falling apart. Constant give aways. Worse than Cozens the other day.
Their tank is strong.
The question is are they tanking just for this year or is this a continued tank for McKenna too? The current roster is certainly capable of dead last next year.
Well either Pittsburgh or Boston will get McKenna.
Pittsburgh will transition from Crosby to him
Boston will draft McKenna and sign Eichel to some outrageous contract and bounce back.
Because in the end regardless of what we do, we can't ever rely on getting any good luck falling our way and for it not to endlessly boost our peerage.

Bruins make playoffs for 100 years in a row, tank for one year and will draft their future #1 center.
must be nice to have a an organization that operates like a well oiled machine.
The latter part is luck

I've had a boycott in place where I won't buy any tickets until the team is in the playoffs. I did go to the Colorado game at the start of the losing streak, but I think they were in a playoff spot (or close) when my friend bought the tix.
My 15yo daughter's been asking about going to a game before the end of the season. I think I'll break down and go Tuesday's game... They're practically giving the tickets away anyways.
Am I doing the right thing? 😁
If your child wants to go, then any personal boycott should be void for those purposes

he is 24. no longer a young goalie.
Goalies are young until 28/29; they're weird like that
27 minutes ago, xzy89c1 said:He is a small goalie. Small goalies are an extreme rarity in the NHL. Successful small goalies are rarer. Saros from Preds was already a star by 23. Would have been up sooner but they had Renne.
Wolf in CGY is a solid blueprint to run with for Levi. Small goalie who dominating in the AHL prior to coming to CGY.
27 minutes ago, xzy89c1 said:It is malpractice by Adams that he has not trade for a starting caliber NHL goalie. Cannot win without one.
After Ullmark sure, but there aren't exactly starting goalies just raining from the heavens. Aside from Markstrom it has primarily been overpaid sieves and disappointing youngsters traded.
27 minutes ago, xzy89c1 said:He still let's in soft goals. In the AHL. He has not proven it.
Most goalies do from time to time, but I'd like him in Rochester most of next year anyway.

Florida ***** you

The problem with the Sabres is the season just isn’t long enough. Make it a month longer and we’d be in the playoffs.
Seems to be a running trend, they take 50 to 60 games to get going and then they actually start playing. Now partly it’s the less stressful playing out the string but they did this during the year they barely fell short.

***** Florida blew the lead with under 10 seconds

God if only we were a bit closer, we are getting that late season surge with absurd goaltending

March hockey is less tight checking too.....
Typically it’s the opposite due to playoff races

That was a penalty but Kulich’s was hooked like three times as he went down the ice with no call. Plus I felt like the crowd convinced the ref more than anything

And we need that info why exactly?
Seriously this is how you want to respond? You're going to grab a bunch of old quotes and ask the same thing? As for the Lehner thing, I was genuinely concerned about his mental health and was curious about how everyone else saw it.
Honestly, why would anyone on this board want to hear about Eichel having success anywhere else? It's like getting a constant reminder of your ex and how their doing; I, and many others here, don't give a flying ***** Eichel is doing anything good. You perpetual insistence on bringing Eichel up at every turn is nothing short of obsessive; he wasn't even mentioned on this thread for quite some time and yet you always feel the need to re-insert him into the conversation like some mustache twirling villain with a vendetta against the rest of the forum. If you need to lather praise on Eichel so bad, go find a VGK forum and do it there. If this was merely to talk about future Selke hopefuls then Barkov & Eichel shouldn't have been the lone mentioned players but we all know you just like to stick our faces in the mud anytime you can in regards to Eichel.

Eichel probably the Selke front runner right now, 4th in points, +35 (league lead). Gary Lawless just called him and Barkov the 2 best 2-way centres in the nhl
Gotta think lady byng is all but guaranteed with only 6 penalty minutes
he is getting mentioned in the hart convo deservedly so. Top 3 nhl C
And we need this info why exactly?

And there’s not one post from me calling it out
your premise was that he gets ridiculed either way. Not sure what I’m missing
There are plenty of people who get annoyed by his or Thompson’s more generic answers.

well you aren’t trying very hard, then
“We need to be better”
is infinitely more palatable than “we’ve matured through adversity, we don’t give up one goal down” as if thats some sort of f*cking accomplishment no less in year 5
After they said to a man goal this year was playoffs
he can get all the way out of here with that jazz
He’s said that 10 million times already.

I’m exceptionally happy to hear about how the biggest lesson they’ve learned this year after working at it for 5 years is that the games aren’t over when they get down by 1 goal
That’s the biggest thing they’ve leaned this year, cap says
Frankly I don’t know what he’s supposed to say without it being ridiculed.

The point is, you can't have a team so fragile that one guy not playing has that great of an impact.
Oh I agree; I was merely saying that if there's one what-if that holds water its regarding Dahlin.

I'm seeing a lot of "if" all over the internet in Sabres conversations. If Dahlin hadn't missed games, if Quinn had started hotter, if goaltending had been better, if they hadn't gone to Europe, if if if it's if every year.
The bottom line for me is Ruff didn't make a difference. The team isn't any better than it was last year.
The one what-if I'll give credence to is the Dahlin one. If Dahlin doesn't reaggravate his back spasms we likely win that first game against Colorado and don't go on a 13 game losing streak. Even just flipping 4 games and making it 4-6-3 instead of 0-10-3 would put us 1 back of the 2WC. Frankly though the whole conference is rather sad seeing as the WC2 in the West has 10 more points than the WC2 in the East. Its also an indictment on the roster for having 1 player be such a lynchpin to wins versus losses

Yep
Only reason they kep the puck in the zone, guy full stick on skate Bernard-Docker to the ice and the ref just looked at it and said “nah”

BS, no trip call behind the net

If Östlund can keep up this growth in Rochester and Krebs becomes a steady 4th liner, thanks to Tuch; had Vegas not won the Cup we would of won the Eichel trade.
