Any stud goaltenders coming out in this next draft?

 

We have two. UPL and Levi. Goalies aren't like wide receivers who start as rookies and light up the league. They take years to develop. Years. UPL is good and Levi is in the pipeline.

 

And don't point at the 6-goal box scores. If you don't see what leads to those goals, you can't comment on the goaltending.

Really nice win last night. Thats the best game they’ve played in quite a while. I really hope it helps them gain some confidence and start stacking some wins.

6-2 win, 2 wins in a row with  13 goals scored and a hat trick for Tuch! Who are these guys

If they can play the Islanders and Black Hawks every night they might just get back into this thing.

Meaningless games, pressure is off.  Way too much ground to make up to even make it interesting.

3 wins in a row!

First topic I open after getting my account approved and this is what I see, great take. I can tell I will like it here.

Quite the accomplishment in a league where half the teams make it, and more than half made it during the majority of those 5000 days.

 

But yeah, stay the course with flat management and woeful inexperience.

I was there.   They gave out white shirts to the fans as you walked into the arena in Philly.   I tucked mine in the collar of my shirt like a bib.   Flyer fan with us thought I was going to get myass kicked but they were actually good natured about it.  Would have never dreamed that would be the last Sabres playoff trip for 14 years.

I was at their last playoff win (Ennis OT in Philly), and last home playoff game.  

I knew how game 7 was going to go, so I stayed home for it.  

 

Its crazy.  Mike Grier, Rob Niedermayer, and Chris Pronger were all in the game.  It seems like those guys have been gone for decades, and span back to the 90s.

 

There are only 3 players still active from that game:  Tyler Myers, Claude Giroux, and James Van Riemsdyk.  Soon there wont be any players remaining who played for or against Buffalo in the playoffs.

Yeah I didn't think much of losing the series.   Everyone knew the Sabres weren't a cup contender.   That's why Pegula tore it down.    Changing the quality of player they could acquire by tanking made sense......but he totally miscalculated the value of hiring great hockey people to run the team.    Missing on McDavid was one of the worst moments in Buffalo sports history but that's not an excuse in hindsight because they drafted plenty of talented players, obviously.

Well that was entertaining. Until it wasn't.

[Mike in Horseheads]

There getting better, they only blew a 3-0 lead this time

[Jauronimo]

Losers.

[Doc]

I've never seen so many blown 3rd quarter leads like this before.

So much for accountability. The Sabres completely stopped skating with about 5 or 6 minutes left. They were all just standing around. I yelled so loud I scared my TV.
