    This is true of shots on goal as well.  Until the league started monitoring games after 2005, what constituted a shot on goal varied.  For instance, Buffalo was notoriously parsimonious about crediting a shot on goal -- we required that a goalie intentionally make a save for a shot clearly intended to hit the net that would have scored had the save not been made.  Here are circumstances where Buffalo scorekeepers would not count a shot on goal unless a goal resulted whereas at least some, if not most other teams' scorekeepers would count it.

    1. Puck bounces off the boards on a zone clear and it winds up on net.

    2. A hard pass directed off the net deflects off of someone and the goalie has to make a save.

    3. The goalie catches or deflects a puck that looked like it would hit the post or maybe go over the net.

    That means that for any other team, Dominik Hasek's save percentage would have been higher than it already was.

    Parsimonious. I like that word. Thanks for raising the level of discourse.

  2. Carrying 3 goalies - Should they keep 3, send UPL down or move someone else?

    Once highly-touted Zach Fucale is a goalie I'd like the Sabres to trade for. He's 27 and not getting a chance with the Capitals. Hasek was a late bloomer... Comrie doesn't do it for me. Anderson is a placeholder, although plays well for the most part but his time is almost up. UPL needs more seasoning. I hate that it looks like the Sabres are going to lose Portillo, who's huge. There's no guarantee on Levi either. Not too many 6' NHL goalies.  Topias Leinonen might be a goalie of the future but his stats over the last five year are hardly lights out.

    Who do you suggest takes the place of the lineup drags?

    Dunno, but I agree with Punch's old adage...incremental improvements. Look at Jost...that was an unexpected pickup that worked out. Looks to me like he's replaced Asplund/Hinostroza. I feel like I've identified the guys that need to either improve or if they're unable to improve, be replaced. I'm patient with the guys that need to and have the ability and mindset to improve. Example: Thompson. Unfortunately, change needs to start at the top. Our captain is a "has been."

    I think that maybe our friend was talking about dude's name ??

    You know our Quint always the joker and always looking for a bigger boat or at least should be.

    Looking for a great goalie tandem, not a bigger boat. The more options, the better. Plus Suchanek looks good, is from Czech and has the ek at the end of his name...

    Ullmark must have been thrilled to be part of the Bruins' ceremony. Very rich in tradition. The Bruins walked out dressed like old-time Red Sox playersThis kind of thing never happens in Buffalo because we are relatively new to major league sports. . It was a treat. But of course it means more in Buffalo.

    I agree with you…the scuttlebutt is from the frustrated Rangers fanbase and not the organization.  

    However, the comp to Krebs is not a good one. The pedigree of 1OA isn’t close to Krebs. I understand the line of thinking…young forward to young forward…but Imagine the Sabres scratching Power halfway through next season. That’s the pedigree of comp to consider (albeit different position). 

    Not to mention Laf is getting protected minutes comparable to third liner Barklay Goodrow. It is going very poorly for him. 

    I keep hearing two drawbacks about the 21 year old Lafreniere. The first is consistency and the second is lack of speed and you can't teach speed. But Vanek wasn't speedy either...

    I think they made a huge mistake firing their coach last year. Trading Weegar wasn't smart either. 

    I bet he gets a full season though. So I'll say this summer

    Zito s*** the bed after Tampa swept the Panthers.The chemistry is off and maybe the team has already tuned out Maurice. Maybe the Panthers can save their season with a coaching change before things get messy. I hear Quenneville wants to get back into coaching...I give Maurice 15 more games.
