Jsixspd Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 If you didn't know who our backup goalie was, then yes - you do need to get your life in order. :nana: Taking a cue from "Idiocracy", Mr. "Not Sure" in net tonight for the Sabres. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Rhea Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Maybe the Canucks are willing to give up Miller. No thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) @JSportsnet: Told that Robin Lehner's skate got caught in a rut. Tough to know too much until swelling subsides. Sabres hoping just a sprain The cast looks bad, but that is always done to play safe. But do think he'll be out a couple of games atleast. I still f##king hate this trade. I never hated it, I thought it was a trade we can only judge in a year or so but if legwand turns out to be the best part of this deal everyone will hate it :P Edited October 9, 2015 by Huckleberry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsixspd Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 If he's this fragile, how is he gonna last a season? Just moving around on his own, not even involved in game play at the time, he ends up on the DL for a lengthy period. ".....The Kids. They called me Mr. Glass!!!!"

Eleven Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Goalies are a dime a dozen Not quite. I know that's the hive-mind right now, but just because Chicago was able to rattle off three Cups with solid D and amazing scorers doesn't mean that the position doesn't matter anymore. I don't think LA or Boston would have won without their goaltending, for example. HIller's one idea. I wouldn't mind seeing Enroth back, actually (not as a long-term solution), but I know he's too small for Murray to consider him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-man Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 For some reason I doubt Murray trades for a goaltender to start for a month or two. If he didn't believe Chad Johnson could start for a month and play competently, he wouldn't have him on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'm a bit more on the makarov train here :P Makarov could make it but I will remain on the Ullmark train, really hope he comes back strong from injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres hoping just a sprain Players seemed to be falling untouched a lot more than usual last night. Pucks seemed awful bouncy as well. I'd have thought the ice would be in the best shape it could be in last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think they all play the angles well and are good athletes with good coaching. I was not upset when Johnson came in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAAAUGHT!!! Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) It will be interesting to see what the market rate for a goaltender is - if it turns out that Lehner is out for an extended period of time. It looks like there are several teams with NHL caliber goalie assets in their organizations. http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/nhl/the-nhls-supply-of-starting-goaltenders-exceeds-demand-i-dont-think-expansion-can-come-quick-enough-for-goalies Edited October 9, 2015 by SHAAAUGHT!!!

JJFIVEOH Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 He's playing in Rochester, so what difference does it make. It could happen anywhere. Because he could be in BFLO sooner than we think and he's susceptible to concussions. Another one leaves us without another goaltender long term.

Brawndo Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 @CraigCustance: Sabres haven't decided yet if they'll enter goalie trade market following Lehner injury. Too early in process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I vote not trading for anyone. Bring up Makarov and let him and Johnson split time. We would at least know if Makarov could hack it. What's Marty Biron up too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I still f##king hate this trade. Same. Talbot looked good, as did M. Jones. Would've rather had either of those two for a first round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Keri Lehtonen anyone? He's signed for two more years after this season with a $5.9 million cap hit. Bad fit IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 He's signed for two more years after this season with a $5.9 million cap hit. Bad fit IMO. And he's injury-prone and pretty mediocre. No thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
