I seriously question wtf their analytics department does. Don't they have 3 or 4 guys who's only job is to look at these types of corsi stats and advise the coach?

He didn't say that. Tell me he didn't say that. Hutton is absolute garbage and until he's upgraded this team ain't going anywhere......

Ullmark had decent numbers and is worth keeping. But Hutton had garbage, below replacement numbers. Why on earth did we go into such an important year with a hope and prayer in Ullmark and below replacement level Hutton? Last year Hutton had a 3.18 GAA and .898 SV% good enough for 64th and 62nd in the league respectively. For the record, Ullmark was 29th and 25th respectively. Even removing goalies with less then 20 starts Ullmark ranked 23rd and 19th. So the numbers seem to say we have a slightly below average starter and terrible backup. I've laid it out before but we went out and signed the top free agent in the market for one year. Another year of missing the playoffs adds more pressure to Jack wanting out and it's another Dahlin ELC year wasted (although I know he's not living up to what we all hope for right now). That last goal went right through Hutton. The team played like crap but they're just not good enough to overcome below average goaltending. How many points is it going to cost the Sabres before a move is made? It's scary management felt comfortable going into such a key season with an average starter and hoping a bad eye improves a below replacement backup who we know will play much more this season then what is typical due to condensed schedule. Only Sabres management seem to miss and/or ignore the absolute obvious glaring weakness of the team every single offseason.

The need to improve goaltending this offseason was so obvious that I was just waiting for the ‘who’ and hope it was a big enough upgrade. Too not addressed this in such a critical year makes me assume Adams is not ready for the job and no different then the long list of disappointing GMs we’ve had since Darcy.

Like wtf do they even pay their analytic department to do?

Sabres will be out of it if they don’t figure it out quickly. This team is good enough to make the playoffs if they had two Ullmark but carter and his sub .900 goaltending will cost this team a playoff spot. You can’t be losing to a depleted devils team at home.

Didn’t you say there was suppose to be an offseason move in net? Wtf happened?

This team is just not good enough to overcome sub .900 goaltending.

Did that go through him. Lmao. This is on you Adams? What are you going to do about it?

Why wasn’t goaltending addressed in the offseason???!!!

Wow. Hope he’s ok.

I’m very interested to see how Hall and Cozens look together.

Can I just point out how dumb it is the game is being played during the NFC championship. Of all the days times to choose. Only the nhl, who needs the tv revenue would schedule multiple games during afc and nfc championship games. Only the nhl that always does this kind of thing. Die hard sabres fan but I won’t be watching today. Go Bills and Go Sabres!

Atleast hall scores the first game but know what your saying. Skinner looks snake bit.

That stinks more then anything this season. We need him to start breaking out this year.

Don't confuse how well the goalies are playing with how well the team has played in front of the goalies. Linus, Hutton and JJ have a save percentage this season of: .905, .899 and .889 respectively. It's even more frustrating how well the team really has played in terms of shot suppression and they're 1-3. I never had a problem with Ullmark. Hutton sub .900 save percentage is just not going to come close to getting it done over the course of a season.....again...

They should have been doing this a month ago. I don’t doubt they were but beyond frustrating nothing was able to get done. Didn’t we see a bunch of goalie signings and trades during free agency? Adams shouldn’t be let off the hook for this.

They should have been looking to trade for a goalie regardless of Ullmark. If he’s out for awhile they need to be making a move ASAP. Again, why are we wasting a season of Dahlin on his ELC, Jack in his prime and the top free agent in the league one year deal?? So much riding on the season and Adams makes zero goaltending moves. I will keep banging the drum that not addressing goaltending this offseason is as bad as JBot not addressing the 2C in prior offseason. It is, and has been for the past twelve months, an obvious area of the roster that had to be upgraded. What a waste.

We needed to trade for a goalie 6 months ago.....three months ago.....last month......here we still are.....This like the twighlight zone waiting for JBot to trade for 2C.

💯 on Adams

Never in doubt.....

Would of felt better had he made that kick. Backup an but still. *QB

How long before Buffalo brings in a competent goalie? Too many games the backup is going to have to play this year. He’s going to cost sabres a playoff spot. Make a damn move before it’s too late.

I’m sitting with a leaf fan and he laughed so hard. Said they’re down 4-1, he might wanna start.
