True. However, the coach threw him under the bus last season when the injury occurred, so it is hard to blame him.
Screw him. He was an alkie with the Sabres and blamed them for everything.

It all sounds great for scoring forwards, but what about preventing goals?
You do the opposite.

I wonder what Jack is thinking?
"At least I'm still getting paid."
What are management and the other players thinking?

I expected nothing. I listen to what Adams is saying and this rebuild is going to continue for years with almost all home grown talent.
Would have liked MAF or Kuemper or Husso, but that wasn’t going to happen. Vanecek or Campbell, but that wasn’t going to happen either.
Comrie is worth a shot. Doubt he would “block” UPL from getting a shot. (God forbid our prospects outplay a real NHL Player).
Yeah I think a guy like Comrie is what we should have expected. Hopefully a late-bloomer who at-worst is a bridge until Levi is ready. I'm not high on UPL but he should get some chances.

No, elite goalies are rare . The alternative was a more proven NHL goalie that has started and had some success.
Who were we expecting? I heard MAF's name bandied about, but that was a pipe dream.

In my case, the alternative I was referring to is that Comrie has a negligible track record and could easily become a total bust — something only 1 of 60-plus voters in this thread considers likely.
Where's the fun in that? I get the pessimism angle, because you can only be pleasantly surprised.

I agree with all of this. Seems like Adams has once again put a risky plan in place for this season. If Comrie beaks out and plays like a #1 then he made a great deal. Otherwise we have all the same question marks as last season.
11 minutes ago, dudacek said:The fans are so quietly eager for Comrie to be good: good-guy underdog is the sort of of ***** we are absolutely primed to fall head over heels for.
Nobody wants to really consider the alternative right now.
What were ever the alternatives? Did anyone think the Sabres would get an elite goalie in the off-season?

Vezina or bust!

Portillo is biding his time until he is an UFA. I doubt he moves on from Michigan and I doubt he ever signs with the Sabres.

Been saying that since he decided not to sign with the Sabres. I hope I'm wrong.

Have you guys really not joked about "Geez, can't you afford a <thing>?"
Yes. But when making fun of others (i.e. the "you" in the above) and never when talking about myself, much less for something that is easily affordable.

I just made a comment about where that might have come from
It still doesn't make sense. What would have been funnier is "because we never thought we'd ever need a printer! LOLOLOL!"

It was a Lance Lysowski tweet of something one of Davies' friends apparently posted. Was laughing at him having to "run" to Staples (per Lance) to sign his contract.
He's played 20 some NHL games & 3 years of AHL hockey. Does anybody HONESTLY think the kid can't AFFORD a printer?
You can work at a minimum wage job and still afford a printer. Why his GF had to say "can't afford" is the real question.
-
There's a difference between not needing a printer and not being able to afford one.
-
Can't afford a printer? Can they afford food?

Ugh, that was on Levi.

More posts on this goalie than on Savoie. It shows the frustration in the fan base for the overall goaltending situation on this club.
I am not a scout, and not a fan that follows Junior Hockey and the draft in the detail that some of do. I like the pick. I think the argument that it might have been a round early is valid to a point. I also trust that the Sabres FO and analytics/scouting might be on to something.
No one can argue that they didn’t need to draft a goalie this year. It could be they took the most worthy one for fear that they might not get him otherwise. With 11 picks and 3 good looking 1st rounders this strategy is sound to me.
Well, goalie is the most important position in hockey, just like QB is in the NFL. Not surprising there are more posts, especially when he was considered to be a reach.
But who is to say he's a reach? is there some master rating guide? Like with QBs, if you think he'll be good, you take him earlier than you otherwise would out of FOMO. Seattle was obviously looking for a goalie and might have taken him just a few picks later, leaving the Sabre without (the-rated top one).

If they had him as a 1st round talent, then they got him at good value. Now the next thing is for him to prove he was worth the pick.

I... I... I don't know what to say. A 22 year-old goalie who has had injury- and COVID-schedule-impacted seasons in terms of games played is no longer a prospect?
Was Tim Thomas not still a prospect at age 23? (1st NHL season age 28). Was Dominik Hasek no longer a prospect at age 22? (1st NHL season age 26, 1st Sabres season age 28)
He was drafted 5 years ago. Time to see what he's got in the NHL.
-
I'd take the drafting of Leinonen as a sign EP isn't going to sign, for reasons I've mentioned. But no matter. UPL is no longer a prospect and it's now-or-never for him. and the guy I'm looking forward to seeing is Levi, who would also be slated to sign next year, if he's going to sign (and I think he will, but until his name is on that contract...) and who was drafted 2 years ago.

I didn't realize this has been the best (post) season for the Amerks since 2004-2005.

My season ticket rep is awesome sauce.
I also owe her an apology. When she phoned me to ask if I wanted her to sell me the third round now (before the season even ended). I scoffed a little and reminded her that their chances of playoffs were slim. She’s cool beans so I agreed.
She was right! I’m grateful that she hit me up because I have my tickets already and at a discount.
Amerks’ season tickets are a great deal and they make ownership of them easy and convenient.
If they could only improve concessions (train ***** wreck) they would haul in a bigger crowd.
WTF? Was she (basically) telling you that this is all scripted?
