Hoss Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Shawn Stepner @StepnerWKBW #Sabres goalie Nathan Lieuwen just left First Niagara Center with his gear. Tells @HannahBuehler he's been sent down to AHL Rochester. (1/2) Shawn Stepner @StepnerWKBW With Lieuwen in Roch, that means #Sabres need a backup goalie for tomorrow's game against #Canadiens #Habs #Buffalo #Montreal (2/2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hopefully we traded for Miller. I want to see how close we could get PA to full meltdown :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_sauve28 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Maybe it means they have full confidence in Johnson and Lieuwan won't be needed here so he's back to AHL to get some game time in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Has Ramo already cleared waivers? Yes, sent to the AHL Shawn Stepner @StepnerWKBW I'm told the #Sabres will have a new backup goaltender by tomorrow night vs. #Canadiens. Look for Ullmark or Makarov up from #Amerks. #Habs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I guess I just don't get the move. I'd much rather have Ullmark or Makarov up here, but have one of them been playing so well to earn a promotion? It's not like Lieuwen has done anything wrong up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFIVEOH Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Back to back games this weekend, probably wants to get a look at Ulmark. Question is, which game does he play? I guess I just don't get the move. I'd much rather have Ullmark or Makarov up here, but have one of them been playing so well to earn a promotion? It's not like Lieuwen has done anything wrong up here With Lieuwen's concussion issues, I don't think Murray sees him as part of the future. Unfortunately........ he looked pretty good the limited time he was up with the big club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 A bit of a kick in the teeth for Lieuwen. He probably has been told by GMTM where he stands. I'm curious to see Ullmark play, I hope he gets a game. I get the impression he may be Lehner's partner in the near future. Swedish tandem.

dudacek Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Or maybe it's actually to get Lieuwen some work in the AHL, while Chad keeps playing? Edited October 23, 2015 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woods-racer Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Or maybe it's actually to get Lieuwen some work in the AHL, while Chad keeps playing? But why right before a back to back where he gets some NHL time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I still think GMTM wants to see Ullmark get a game. Put him in against the Habs, our backup vs theirs, no excuses if they lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a separate matter, how far north in Ontario do you hail from? Just curious -- I've always been interested in the map of the GWN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 You don't go into a game with one goaltender. They'll need a backup. Of course not. What does that have to do with the possibility of Johnson starting back to back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I've been around most of northern Ontario. Raised near Thunder Bay, lived near Timmins for 10 yrs and currently near North Bay. I've worked as far north as the coast of Hudson's Bay,and along the Manitoba, Minnesota and Quebec borders.

I've worked as far north as the coast of Hudson's Bay,and along the Manitoba, Minnesota and Quebec borders. I was wondering in particular about Hudson Bay. That is pretty far North! I hope you were there during the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
