Skinner should have Larkin "Between the Stalls" next season.

JOKI!

Levi has to keep the stick covering the 5 hole. That one is on him.

Promo is good, but Mr. Beeper had a good handle on all thing's hockey.

You should consider having another poll "post" season to compare from this one. I'd like to see how opinions have changed.

More and more teams are wanting to split time with goalies. The vet would get paid like a starter but would slowly work his way to backup. GMKA would have to be willing to overpay some to get it done. Someone would be interested in coming to an ascending playoff team. Levi will benefit greatly with a vet versus the UPL/Comrie alternative. Having Levi displace him will not affect his future contracts. In the meantime, he gets well paid and not overplayed!

I wholeheartedly concur with both proposals! Abandon the UPL/Comrie hopefulness and go with the vet and the kid. Add a bottom 6 puck digging forward with playoff experience and get the best vet D-man (with playoff experience too) you can find and all that is left is bringing up the young forwards one by one at the right times. GMKA has enough cap, tradeable players and prospect(s) to swing it all. The next 2 years will be set and nothing but some tweaking to do. Playoffs next year!!

I have to say you are not even giving your argument enough merit. When Anderson and Okposo leave the team next year, they will be even younger. All the lamenting today is unfounded. One or two younger guys are primed to become part of this team. Need a bottom 6 F puck digger vet with playoff experience and another 3rd pairing D vet who is the same. After that, a decision on Levi (let's see what he does in the next 6 of 7 games) and who is the guy he may pair with (maybe not even on the team right now) and next season is ready to roll.

Got to say I think that's not the deal. They don't know when to lay it all on the line. 2:30 left on the PK they pushed the play. HCDG is not on the ice. The guys on offense needed to play it all out at the 10 minute mark.

These young forwards have to trust themselves that they are that good. They waited too long to open it up. Devin deserves the next 5 out of 6. Throw it all in for the win every night and don't look back. Go for the 9 points in 6 games to get to 90.

Levi keeps them in the game. GO for it Tage!

Down a goal in a must win. They got a shift or two before they have to all out pinch the D full time.

Sabres have averaged 3.6 goals per game. PUSH for the win!

If the team want to "bail out" Levi, they need to score some goals this period. That is just what they are going to attempt to do this period.

Perfect game plan for the Sabres to open it up this period. Levi is settled in with some strong play. Sabres first line pushes for the win!

Zero. Really? You define his career with that?

Devils up 3-0 on Penguins. Devon holding the fort. Let's go forwards, Net some shots!

I enjoyed watching that series.

Maybe try not thinking. Biggest game a Sabres team has faced in a lot of years. It's a young team, but they know what is at stake. I have decided to watch this game with my heart and not my head. Good luck guys and play loose!

I don't know about imploding, but it sure is getting locked down. Anyone know the situation with the Sabres Russian players. How many are still in Russia versus playing outside of Russia? Future drafting of these guys could get pretty risky. I truly sympathize with those who don't want to live that way.

Get the F outta here. I was just posting this, but my mom called from Buffalo. I come back on here and you beat me to it! LOL. He's been gone for such a long time (Hey-la-day-la our Tage is back) 'Cause he's kinda big and he's awful strong (Hey-la-day-la our Tage is back)

I sure hope someone sent these to Krueger, along with his game logs.

Why do you have a goal song? LOL.

I've seen this season as, the team is steaky BECAUSE they are young. @Pimlachhas brought up good points not in line with ours. If anyone thinks that this decision is an easy one for Granato, they are fooling themselves. He will have had 3 days to think about it and I just can't believe he will do it in a vacuum.

I didn't actually say that. I said, "if Levi isn't stinking it up in practice". See my reply above to @Mango. I don't think any stat is going to give Granato a confident reason to start one goalie or another. On the other hand, if I was HCDG I would be listening to Okposo as to what the team is feeling. This game is pretty much the season.
