Hoss Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 If having Weber back causes a "logjam" then we are a bad defensive team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Seems like Lehner might be out a little longer, Had a setback according to lebrun. TSN's Pierre LeBrun passed along the update on the 24-year-old, noting Lehner suffered a "little setback" that could push his first appearance back to "mid-to-late December." On Oct. 11, Sabres head coach Dan Bylsma announced Lehner—who was acquired in an offseason trade with the Ottawa Senators—would miss six to 10 weeks with a high-ankle sprain. As recently as Nov. 3, Coach Bylsma had good news to report regarding his netminder. "He’s actually done two-a-days for many of the days of the week," Bylsma said at the time, per the Buffalo News' John Vogl. "He’s doing really well. He’s working really hard, but he’s not close yet to getting back on the ice." If there's a silver lining for the Sabres, it's that Linus Ullmark has been steady in goal so far this season. In eight starts, Ullmark has notched a 4-4 record with a .925 save percentage and a mark of 2.28 goal- against average. Ullmark has been particularly solid in November, posting a .930 save percentage in six starts. Until Lehner is healthy enough to man the crease, his fellow countryman should continue to pick up starts in net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Good profile on Carlo Colaiacovo on Sabres Hockey Beat. He is another quality signing from GMTM. “(Colaiacovo is) probably one of the better guys in our room in terms of their attitude and their preparation for the game,” Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said. “He does have a veteran presence to him about his preparation, even when he hasn’t been in the lineup it’s been good. We need more of that.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Carlos is back at practice and starting, paired with Bogo again. Weber sits @BuffaloSabres 2h2 hours ago Colaiacovo is with the team today after suffering a dented trachea. D pairings: Gorges-Ristolainen Colaiacovo-Bogosian McCabe-Franson Weber #Sabres lines this afternoon: Kane-ROR-Reinhart Moulson-Eichel-Gio DLo-Zemgus-McGinn Foligno-Schaller-Legwand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Good to see him practicing again. I wonder if that's literally what happened. To my knowledge it was what DD called the injury in the postgame presser. Is that an actual medical term? (Would Tracheal Contusion be the medically correct term?)

TrueBlueGED Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Did Larsson violate Bylsma's backside to the extent he's benched in favor of Schaller for three games? I get he wasn't playing well, but Schaller is pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Wasn't it the pick we took Zemgus with for Goose and that Saros guy, isn't he who Nashville picked with that extra pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 A quick +/- check. While +/- may be too elementary to really gage a player's performance (i.e., a negative rating isn't necessarily bad; it may be more of a reflection of a player's assigned role), I think a positive +/- indicates a fair amount of defensive responsibility and two-way play. Positive: David Legwand, Matt Moulson, Tim Schaller Zero: Carlo Colaiacovo, Josh Gorges, Ryan O'Reilly, Sam Reinhart I'm willing to throw Schaller out of the mix as a combination of small sample and beginner's luck. What you see on the list are seasoned veterans and.... Sam Reinhart. :wub: Revisiting Schaller, let's keep an eye on him. See if he manages to keep that rating with increased minutes. He may not be flashy but if he can eat minutes without being a defensive liability, he could have a vital role on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
