That’s the exact thing I do except for I go at a little more of an angle than what Ovi did. Fake wrist shoot to a backhand works every time. I haven’t been on skates since the Second Reagan Administration, so you are light years ahead of me Edited March 26, 2022 by Brawndo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Is there still such a thing as a good loss and yeah Mitts could’ve ended that game twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Balls Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Tuch, Okposo, Girgensons are Buffalo's top three shootout percentage guys. Mitts is 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Enjoyed that game. Wash. Is a bit of a powerhouse and we hung in . Got a point. Anyone find RJs pronounciation of Samsonov off or is that how it is? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely see fans that are, but I don't want to throw him away, In two years time I see him as a Tim Conolly, something the islanders let go. Also I'm drunk , my darts team won a nice game, ***** hell sabres are being good late in season and I love it. We will not see playoffs, but I love the growth on this team , and we got a coach our players want to play for. Also skinner will score 30 goals next 4 seasons 😛 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashsabre Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Kevyn Adams PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get an NHL starting goalie next season. This team is ready to compete with consistent NHL goaltending. Anderson-UPL is not an option. Look at Kuemper, really drill down on Husso. Find a 1A this team can count on next season. This team and this fanbase deserve it. Edited March 26, 2022 by Flashsabre 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 I watched the 2nd and 3rd periods on my tablet with no sound while partying with friends. They had a good level of compete from what I saw. Caps are a big, tough veteran team. Sure, Mitts couldn’t bury his chances but he is getting chances which is says he is playing good. He will get his share if he can stay healthy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mittelstadt will come around but I think we're going to need to wait until next season to see him strong again.

Believer Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Digger, hope you and Promo are right… No doubt Mittelstadt wanted to replace Tuch in the shootout… He basically blew by Tuch to get on the ice while Tuch was still testing his skate… He wants to be a leader and a Go-To Guy… He said so during training camp… Too anxious still… With confidence comes poise… Guess Granato wanted to give the kid a chance at redemption after missing so many good chances during the game and OT… Let’s see if he shakes tonight off on Sunday… Edited March 26, 2022 by Believer Omission 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with @PromoTheRobot Mitts should seriously consider doing the workouts that Tage does. Tage is a beast in the off-season. Mitts could take a step up next season if he gets in top shape. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some confusion when Tuch got his skate fixed if he could go out but the official said Casey had to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Last time the Sabres played 4 OT/SO game in a row was 3-12-2012 to 3-17-2012 (2-0-2) They actually played 5 straight from 11-6-2010 to 11-15-2010 (4-0-1) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has been historically awful at them. We’ve talked about this for years.

matter2003 Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) 5 hours ago, French Collection said: Toker the new Lehner? Huh? Lehner literally would give up a goal on every shot in the shootout. I don't think he is in that category... Out of 116 goalies with 40 or more shootout attempts, Lehner ranks 113 in save percentage. You know who ranks one spot below him at 114? Marty Biron. Surprisingly, two former Sabre goalies rank very highly. Linus Ullmark is the best goalie in NHL history in shootouts based on save percentage and Jhonas Enroth is 11th overall.
