Sad Clarke MacArthur won't play this year, I always like him.

What? Another concussion?

Miller's Vezina year vs. Biron's best season.

The only differences are wins, and Biron didn't have the team in front of him that Miller did, and Sv%, which also could depend on the quality of shots faced.

7 straight games with a goal. I think he's outgrown the AHL. I could see him in Foligno's spot next year.
- Buffalo--Sabres

17 goals in 34 games. He had 20 in 70 last year. In his last 50 AHL games he's had 25 goals. I agree, he's outgrown Roch and will be a full time Sabre next year, along with Baptiste.

- Wetbandit1

No same one from the pre season but he still has concussion symptoms and they said he won't play this year.

Awesome. Leafs just lost in the shootout. Plus Tampa Bay getting hammered.
- SabreWest

5 points behind Boston with 3 games in hand.

Just need to find a home for Moulson and put Delo in the press box to fit them both in.

I think Bailey, Baptiste and Carrier have moved ahead of Fasching. He could be trade bait. Granted Fasching has been injured but he could be included in a trade.

With those 2 goalies? No, not a coincidence at all. Sure Niemi won a cup, but Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl, neither guy won them for his team, they just didn't (frank) up too much.
- Wetbandit1

Lehtonen hasn't had a season of above .910 since Lindy got there. He never had a below .910 year before that

Niemi has also had his two career worst years under Ruff.

It's a Ruff problem

Is Fasching playing yet?

17 goals in 34 games. He had 20 in 70 last year. In his last 50 AHL games he's had 25 goals. I agree, he's outgrown Roch and will be a full time Sabre next year, along with Baptiste.

Replace Foligno and Deslaurias?

5-3 record without Gorges.

5 points behind Boston with 3 games in hand.
- mhp

If they don't blow that 2 goal lead against the Leafs on Tuesday they are 1 point out of the playoffs right now. They are definitely in the mix.

5-3 record without Gorges.
- mhp

Oh god that's why I haven't totally hated watching these games. That guy is
THE WORSSSSSSSST.

Replace Foligno and Deslaurias?
- Buffalo--Sabres

Delo yes but I've always liked Foligno. I think he's protected in the expansion draft.

Is Fasching playing yet?
- SabreWest

I think he's played a few games with Rochester.

It's great we got the two wins but this is what they've been doing all year.

Win a few and get everyone's hopes up. Lose most important matchups. Then win more to get everyone's hopes up, and on and on

Not going to say you're wrong - those 2 games against Boston would be huge if it was even a split at this point...but they did just beat 2 Division teams (important matchups).

Giving Montreal a point isn't a big deal, but the loser point to Detroit sucked a little.

That Toronto game was very large

I hate to be negative because I'd love to believe they could go on a run, but we've been seeing this all year

- BeadyEyedDouche

Sorry, no. SV% is way more indicative of skill than GAA. A goalie can let in 3 goals a game, but if he's facing 40 shots that's actually pretty good. That's a .925 SV%.

No same one from the pre season but he still has concussion symptoms and they said he won't play this year.

Shame.

- sbroads24

It's the style, so if you want to say it's a Ruff problem, fine, but at least they play offense; isn't that what you're always female dogging about?
