Cold and snowy...I live in Depew/Lancaster and its snowed 23 of the last 30 days here...and right now as I type this we are getting some very heavy lake snow coming off Lake Ontario out of nowhere at a 2-3 inch per hour clip...Tomorrow the high is supposed to be 5 some places south of here have well over 100 inches of snow at this point already and more coming down as we speak...been 5 Lake Snow warnings with multiple feet of snow each time down there already...

Probably because he is a damn good player?

Lehner is frustrating...he will make great save after great save and then let in a crappy goal. Lehner gets hung out to dry quite often by this team, but at the end of the night too many times you are left wondering how he let in the winning goal. He is historically terrible in shootouts(NHL worst career save percentage in shootouts) but OK on breakaways. I can't see paying a guy big money who is "one-dimensional" as a goalie...we can't be giving away points in the shootouts, it can cost us the playoffs down the line.

Like Briere was? Sneaky B?

with good players on it...that's the worst part.

once you factor in the hidden costs like gas, repair costs, etc you'd probably be better off getting a fast food job as a second job...

His career worst save percentage in NHL history in shootouts is enough to say no...we can't afford to be giving away any types of points, especially once we get good. That can be the difference between a 6th and 8th seed or missing the playoffs all together...

Nothing is ever easy for this team

Did it really matter? When was the last time Lehner made a save in the shootout let alone win a shootout game? Couple this with us not being to score at all in shootouts and we would have lost 2-0 in the shootout. Eichel should have ended the game but he is only a superstar when we are down 4-1 in the 3rd period with 5 minutes left apparently now. Where are the plays Eichel was making as a rookie??

He shouldnt have had to if our superstar would actually play like one when it matters. He is great when we are down 4-0 tho...

Game should have ended when our alleged superstar drew a penalty shot in OT..as usual he shoots the puck directly into the goalie. Besides having our shots blocked and giving up shorthamded goals, the thing we so best.

If you haven't had Guggisberg Swiss you are missing out...we used to make a trip to the Amish country in Ohio when I lived in Columbus every year and buy a big wheel of it...phenomenal stuff...and others must agree based on the awards it has won: https://www.babyswiss.com/product-awards

There is a -100% chance they are moving Eichel. Bringing him up for this topic is completely pointless and utterly ridiculous. He isnt going anywhere.

Guggisberg Swiss

Wow...they played pretty well...bout time. Now lets see if it lasts more than 1 game.

Yeah new rule...if you challenge offside and you lose its a 2 minute penalty

Wow...that was clearly offside...good break for us...and we are on the PP...not like it matters, haha

Definitely spankable

We could probably come close to 30 points if we played on a line with Crosby or Malkin

Forget anything else..the fact he is the worst goalie in NHL history in shootouts means you are giving away points during the regular season you shouldn't be... He doesnt do enough to make up for that

There are gonna be a lot of them, hard to say what order they will be...

No they aren't...they simply have 0 confidence right now and these players dont compliment each other very well.

And here we go...going to be a flurry of moves coming up this week I bet

Yeah I felt bad for Redden...he was still an NHL quality player, just not at that cap number. He got screwed...got all that money but had to play in the minor leagues...

Hey...we gotta start somewhere...Rodriguez has been productive when he has played...not at that level but definitely a good 3rd line player.
