    I don't want to fill this with rumors, so i'll wait to see what wgr or the buffalo news has to say. The d&c didn't say as to why paille was called up, just that he was. Hecht was dinged on that hit, but he did come back and played the rest of the game. hopefully that hit didn't cause a concussion or some sort of shoulder/rib/back injury.

     

    Oh.....I will :D

     

    Big Al Kotalik is in the Lindy doghouse again. Maybe the Windy City will be more appreciative of the best PP shot in the league!

    Here's some numbers:

     

    Ryan Miller in post lockout NHL: GAA: 2.61 SV% .914

    Marty Biron in post lockout NHL: GAA: 2.95 SV% .901

     

    And another note: During Marty's streak last year, 7 of the wins were against non-playoff teams. 5 against Pittsburgh and Washington.

     

    Correct....which goes back to my point that Biron should be starting for 1/3 of the league. Have I ever said the Sabres?

     

    If someone puts a $100 bill and a $50 bill in front of you, do you spend the $100 and "clean yourself" with the $50???

    Dwight, the stats you posted for Ryan cover his entire career, which includes his 15-game rookie season (2002-03), while your totals for Marty appear to be from 2003-04 and on, skewing the comparison a bit.

     

    By adding Marty's numbers from 2002-03 (17-28-6; 2.56 GAA and .908 SV) this is how your comparison shapes up:

     

     

     

    I see what you are saying........my point is that there isn't as huge a talent gap as some are making.

    The good thing is, I don't think this is even a debate at the rink. If Ruff saw this thread, he'd probably almost break out into a laugh.

     

    I'm not saying Marty should be starting over Miller....I just think that some here have a valuation problem. By me saying Marty should be starting for 1/3 of the teams in the league doesn't mean I am saying he is the MVP.....it means that by starting for 33% of the league, he would be a BELOW AVERAGE STARTING GOALTENDER.

     

    He is a top backup, and I have no problem paying him $2 million. Marty is Marty....Miller's peak is still unkown. He may be a top 3 goalie, or he may retire in 2 years ala Ricky Williams. He's one out there cat.

    Marty currently has a GAA of 3.30 and a SV% of .886. That's Bob Essensa numbers :blink:

     

    I know stats only tell half the story and some will point out that he saved the game against The Cryers on a 3 on 0 Break. True, he did. But he wouldn't have had to if he hadn't been his usual sieve-self on Umberger's WEAK wrister from the blue line.

     

    Fact is Marty puts teams in trouble, when all that is needed from him is to hold the fort. Nobody is asking him to be spectacular.

     

    Sorry, there is no way this guy starts for anyone in this league, and it's another season with 2 mill. down the tube for a backup on a team that is currently cap strained.

     

    Maybe you should check the stats of other goalies in the league. Then add in the fact that the Sabres play a run and gun transition offense which leads to many odd man breaks or breakaways against our goalie. Marty came up with 3 saves yesterday and another 3 the night before on breaks.

     

    Give Marty Tallinder, Lydman, Afinigenov.....and then let Campbell Teppo and Spacek play 5 less minutes like they are supposed to, and then maybe he looks a little better to you. For the love of sweet Jesus....Biron is like 20-3-1 and everyone wants to connect electrodes to his groin.

    The 2nd and 3rd were tip ins.....how do you stop those?

     

    Marty could/should be starting for 1/3 of the league. Our team is just getting worn down. Too many key injuries...Teppo is still playing 20+ minutes with a tweaked groin. We gave the Sens 6 consecutive full minutes in our zone in the 2nd. That reaks of being tired.

    my mom noticed too... that guy really needs to do himself a favor and either shave the stache or grow a goatee.

     

    Even better was the couple sitting directly behind the Bruin bench. The guy looked like the coach, only with a hair piece. It looked like a really bad Phil Hartman character on SNL. It was probably his brother.
