"Nilsson is not a viable backup goalie. We're going to lose every game he plays. Murray really messed up not keeping Johnson. Nilsson has never been good. Biggest hole on the team."
- Zschalberg

God I miss those days

Murray needs credit for picking this guy out to be the backup.
- rmiethaner

He does, but this is part of Nilsson's MO too. Starts off really really hot, but then falls off a cliff.

His numbers in the KHL were really good, probably the best or 2nd best in the league the year he played over there, and that's not nothing, it's not the NHL, but it's still impressive to lead the league.

No, you aren't. We scored 1 goal for the what, 8th straight game? You should have been annoyed

Bump

Yeah there was no entertainment in the 2d 3D OT or shootout.

Shouldn't be at all, they are noplace near those teams.
- SABRES 89

I agree, but they are being compared, and it's nonsensical to me. I'm all for saying you want them to be like the Pens and Lightning, but when it's said that "well the Pens have 3 lines, why don't we?" That doesn't really bring anything to the table.

Nilsson was great. That's about all I got

Sure, but the Pens, the almighty Pens only managed one goal too, so it kinda evens out.

Faith, brother, faith.

I'm out now so I doubt I'll respond tonight. But you get to pick my avatar for next week.

Then you should watch more closely.

No one's even sure what you're talking about now.

So we shouldn't talk about how to become a good team?

Jesus this gets annoying.

Nilsson is the new Enroth Neuvirth Lindback Johnson etc. They need to stick with him

I don't need to. This was just like every 2015 win. Beat a team in a shootout, against a team on a back to back, despite being heavily out shot.

We won man. I don't blame people for wanting more goals though

I don't watch the game like an accountant making little marks in columns on graph paper.

If I find myself yelling at the TV, or jerking my head back after a really close miss, I'm happy. Especially if we win.

This whole not scoring goals thing is getting ridiculous but at times in this game they had 5 ahlers on the ice at the same time

That's the only way they can win currently with everyone out of the lineup.

You're just saying stuff without really thinking it through.

Last week Montreal lost to CBus 10-0. Do you really think goal 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 added anything to the game?

They're all goals.

Can we get to 2 first before we make that leap to a 10 goal game?

We just busted a 5 game losing streak. One steak at a time

Yes it does, it means we don't have 3 solid lines to roll like the Pens and Lightening.

Team's better not think they can skate into the KBC and expect to win by scoring one sorry ass goal. L.O.B.!

And my point is it took those teams a long time to get where they are. We are literally in year 2 of trying to build a winning team. It's going to be a while, no matter how much we might want it to be faster.

The point is it was fun to watch whatever the score was.

I can't argue with the observation that it was low scoring, but man it was high drama.
