Win and we pass the Penguins and are in the last wild card spot for the playoffs.

Why are you skeptical about his ability to rebound?
His track record has been impeccable prior to now, his slump is 15 games.
His slump is season long - the Canucks clearly have not been in a rush to put him back in the net because he's been outplayed by the "backups".
This years stats (not last years or any previous year):
GP 15 Ā W3 Ā L10 Ā GAA 3.93 Ā Ā SV% .883
And we're considering trading our up and coming goaltender for this hot mess? I'll also mention the losses have predominantly been on him, not as much the team around him. He's really let the Canucks down this season, which is why they want him moved.

This is fair, but Iām going to put a lot more emphasis on his body of work than a 15-game stretch on this yearās most dysfunctional team.
His resume and his numbers up to this season are textbook goalie development. Last year he was definitely among the leagueās best goalies. Heās a high pick who has excelled at every level. To me this screams buy low and profit.
He's been contributing to the disfunction, not a victim of it. Living in Van we see all their games. He's completely lost it. Ā And he's been injured a lot. Buyer beware.Ā

As a Vancouver resident I can tell you Demko has been awful this year, fallen right off a cliff. I wouldn't even make the phone call.

This is troubling.
What could possibly be troubling about Cozens getting on the ice?
-
So today, if we win and the Penguins lose to the Sharks in regulation, guess where we're sittin'?

Not sure if it was mentioned earlier, but post-game Granato said Cozens is fine, and if there would have been more time on the clock would probably have gone back in the game.

Is there a way to get Meier that makes sense for the Sabres? He's a pending RFA that seems pretty pricey, despite our current manageable cap situation.
"The 26-year-old has a cap hit of $6 million this season, but due to receiving $9 million in salary, his qualifying offer is set at double digits this summer."
It seems to be antithetical to GMKA's philosophy up to this point. What would it take, and would it be worth it?

Washington lost

Their original unis are among the best in hockey, yet they've basically turned their back on them for years, except for the occasional use of the blue ones. Weird.

The win doesn't matter, because some of the posters have already decided the Sabres aren't making the playoffs this year. Despite now being 3 measly points out with 36 games left in the regular season.Ā

I was 9 years old in 1973, growing up in small town Saskatchewan. I was already a dedicated Hab-hater, so when the Sabres made the playoffs for the first time I was cheering for them to knock of the favoured Canadiens. They didn't, but it was an exciting series, very impressionable on my young self. So they became my team, and I haven't wavered since. It was very common for Sask folks to cheer for a variety of team as we didn't have our own team, we were where NHL players came from š
The Sabres of course had exciting and successful teams in those early 70's years, and there were many dedicated Sabres and Flyers fans that came about from both teams mid-70's successes.
My only Sabre jersey is my beloved #7 Martin.
edit - I just realized this will be my 50th year cheering for the boys in blue and gold. Jeezus I'm getting up there

Need something from the Kid LIne. Been quiet lately.
They're going to be quiet tonight since Peterka and Quinn are sitting in the press box

Canucks chase the Pens goalie out of the net with a 3 nothing lead seven minutes in. We have an opportunity tonight to get close to that wildcard spot. Come on boys!

Penguins down 2 zip early to the Canucks. Lose Pens lose!

Yep, goals against has definitely been a bright spot. Ā When they actually do something and finally make the playoffs, then you can bark all you want. Ā The offensive production wonāt always be there. Ā Need to shore up the blue line
I'll take what our GM has done with the team since he's had the job and sticking to the long term plan over random internet expert's opinion, but thanks for playing.

He really needs to take advantage of what could be this year because it may not be this way next year and beyond
Then use the freaking money to bring in helpā¦DUH
It's a good thing the genius freaking out over one game are not the GM.

Hockey is more than a one man team
When they play as awful in their own end, and everybody in this forum agreesā¦then I donāt know how to explain it to you
"hockey is more than a one man team"
Which is why the brilliant signing of TT to a great contract benefits the team by freeing up money. Duh.
A lot of use of the word "idiot" in this thread. Look in the mirror.
