don't you think the team we saw the last four games is actually good?
- Michael Pachla

No, he doesn't. He did nothing but tear them apart after they lost to Chicago. Nevermind the fact that they got out of there with a point against a team that's sitting at the top of their division.

Against a good team like Chicago? No, they were dominated, against Winnipeg, they played 1 and half good periods.

Last night they were good.


Let's see it in the standings. If they can do that, im all for it.

Spot on.
they are certainly imperfect and inconsistent.
Difference between winning and losing...wait for it....wait...
...they score more than 1 goal.
hard to win 1-0. easier to win when potting 4.

We are 1 point out of bottom 5.

People should really hold off on the I told you so's until WE ACTUALLY ARE GOOD

Yeah but playoff teams are only 8 points out of the bottom five.

The standings for whole conference are very compact - that's my understanding of why there haven't been much in the way of outright trades. With the exception of the true doormats like the Avs, nobody knows yet whether they are buying or selling.

People get so pissy if you say something negative Jesus

3-0-1 in the last 4 and it's the same crap in here.

Those last 4 games were against some really good teams too.

A win on Thursday and carry it to Carolina would be huge.

Lehner is pretty sick Nilsson was getting tomorrow's game anyway with Lehner sick. If he wins on Thursday then maybe Nilsson gets the Carolina game but I wouldn't be surprised to see Ullmark get the nod.

I've already said this several times this morning. If Lehner has anything like what Carrier just had, we won't see him this week.

The team plays different around him they play better it seems more confident

Funny there was a chart posted yesterday that the Sabres don't generate prime scoring shots when Nilsson is in net. It was posted on twitter.

If you're the coach who do you play who's better?

They've gotten 7 out of 8 points. Nobody is saying they're perfect, but a little bit of optimism would be nice.

How about the Rangers game and the Philly game your know two playoff teams in the east?

As of now, they don't seem bad at the hockey

no matter what their position at the TDL...they best be working the phones in Sell fashion on certain players. get what you can for the likes of:
Gorges
Kuli (not going to happen)
Franson
De-lo
Gionta
...more if he can

As of now, they don't seem bad at the hockey

The games have been fun to watch lately. Was it disappointing they didn't get both points in the Chicago game? Sure. But they've gotten on a nice little point streak here. Just hoping they can keep it up.

Like Pach said in the blog, we've seen this before from them this season. But I think one of the main differences between those times and now is the overall health of the club, though even that still has some room for improvement.

Play the hot hand. But as it's been stated it doesn't matter what goalie you play when you're scoring 4 goals a game.

Injuries are an issue but hopefully we can keep pace.

Thank you.. I said Robin needs the ride the bench

The goalies haven't been the problem this year. That's most apparent when you look at the stat that's been getting posted around here lately with what the record is when they score more than 1 goal.

What's this tell you stripes?
- Der Kaiser

Not a damn thing

Score goals and no matter what goalie you play you'll win.

i did not argue with you on that.. I was just stating the fact that your comment of "if you want to win you play Nillson" was written in false thoughts.. Unless you were meaning that because Lehner has a 105 degree body temp that he wouldn't be very good

All of their wins they are 17-2-5 or something when scoring 2 or more.
