No goalie could be the reason we lost in a game we don’t score. It doesn’t really say anything The presence of an issue doesn’t preclude the existence of another issue, I never understand this logic

His mindset reminds me of Kevyn Adams tbh. Two of the guys I feel like I know the very least about in the organization. Everything they say comes off like a 2D stock quote

We have to seriously start considering the possibility the Sabres won’t win 3 in a row this entire season has that happened to any team in recent memory?

They definitely seem to play better when confident in their goalie. It’s anecdotal, I could be wrong. Certainly feels that way. Record seems to reflect it. Powerplay is an entirely different issue The thing about Comrie is he’s objectively bad. There aren’t any arguments in his favour. His numbers aren’t NHL worthy, below replacement. If someone can defend Comrie, they can defend anyone

Reffing isn’t Sabres biased but it’s definitely young players biased. refs feel the need to “learn ‘em” it’s rather a joke, yes

Yes understandable on a human level. I suppose I feel like the context being “paid professionals” went without saying

Tend to be a different team when they need to protect a beer league goalie

Does Adams want to be there?

That’s not really how stats work but, I am getting to agree with you on Don

Was mentioning last game they tend to be front runners

Reminded me of when Kane had an open net here in winnipeg and he deferred to Reinhart to get the hat trick

It’s just a shame the team has to sacrifice so much of their free-wheeling offence when he’s in net. They really, really have to baby him back there since he’s not an NHL caliber goalie

Duff cackling about Reinhart’s EN pass We saw a lot of career year anomalies last year

Dude rules

Florida played yesterday, right? Maybe they’ll slow down in the third

Maybe they should let Terry have a try at the book, honestly

Very understandable? Totally disagree Some were screaming against the viability of a run it back approach after multiple career years. Hindsight need not apply: the off-season looked bad at the time. And worse now.

This is a meaningful stat “this regime isn’t amendable to past failures” need not apply He is saying it in defence of the Sabres

Certainly jives with the feeling the priority hasn’t been winning. Damn.

Exactly. Fool me once..shame on..shame on..you? Point is, can’t get fooled again with the goalie approach

Ya I mean assigning fault is subjective He bridged Reinhart, that’s all I said

It’s just difficult with Reino because he went on record saying he was open to a long term extension I don’t think he’s a 7 mil player yet. No, I don’t mind the contract there. For reasons opposite to why I dislike MS’s.

We’ve had 2 GMs that bridged Reinhart

Can’t see KA not sending EJ to a cup/playoff contender at deadline

We just beat the Kings 7-0 We tend to be front runners in individual games
