Quotes still not working:

C'mon 365. There is a time and a place for everything. Playing not to lose from 0-0 and 1-0 is a dangerous thing. Playing solid defensive hockey, focused on limiting shots to the outside, when you're up 3-0 in the other guy's barn is completely different.

Yes there were times when the Leafs threatened to score (even more dangerous plays than the actual goal). But they were limited, and managed pretty well by our D.

I don't have a problem with that game, and I certainly don't have a problem with the W. My thought is that anyone who does is getting caught up in the unavoidable falsehood of CORSI - a stat that values shots qua shots - instead of valuing goals.

Every time I feel disappointed in how the Sabres are doing overall,'I remind myself they lead the league in man games lost.

i didn't even check the shot attempts, just basing it on the eye test. They didnt really establish any sort of forecheck from the 2nd period onwards and there were quite a few high quality chances given up. McCabe had to play goalie just to keep one out. That and some undisciplined play and this easily could have been a tie game by then end of regulation. It's a great win because its a win and some key players stepped up, but the overall performance?

Roger that. She has the constitution of a Navy Seal and the iron stomach of the heartiest of Frauleins...a few Guinness would never have this effect the day after unless she was ill.
Not the first time I've had to hold her hair back over the porcelain god.

In your case, maybe you need more greasy breakfasts?

If you take your emotional feelings out of it, they were sharp jerseys. Great lines, sharp colors. It was far detached from tradition and that's why people's hated it.

I thought the sabres played a great first period last night


they were physical for the last 40 minutes but looked like they sat on a lead

no reason not to get an empty netter with almost 4 minutes of an open net

Of goalies that have faced over 700 shots Lehner is 4th in save percentage at .925, he's .001 behind Bobrovsky and Holtby, Dubnyk is at .934

Disagree
I do believe that the "tradition" aspect had something to do with ppl not liking the Jerseys...
But even if I could get over those colors,
The "goat" logo was so ugly looking

Let me say this...
if it was in blue & gold, I wouldn't hate it as much
But I'd still hate it

If we had done the 3rd jersey that was Red with the swords in blue & gold,
I'd have been "ok" with that as a 3rd jersey

"Of goalies that have faced over 700 shots Lehner is 4th in save percentage at .925, he's .001 behind Bobrovsky and Holtby, Dubnyk is at .934"


Obviously his size helps him out quite a bit
Imagine how good he could be if he was able to work on his positioning?
Too often he overplays a situation & ends up leaving a wide open net
(See McCabe save last night for example)

One reason Miller rarely made spectacular saves was bc he read the play so well & was in the right position to make the save
Hopefully Lehner can get (much) better at it

I think that'll also help him with his rebound control


As nice as his save % is,
He's still got a lot of work to do on his game
If he does...
he has a chance to be very good imo
seedy

x2.
They chose black and red because the chicago bulls sold the most gear out of any sports team. Completely ignoring the fact that the chicago bulls were selling all that gear because they were winning championships.
Completely changing a teams colors is stupid.

How many games has this team played this week? They may have blown their proverbial load in the first period and didn't have a ton left in the tank except to play a decent road game to insure the win the rest of the way. They aren't robots and the other team has a say in how well they execute as well. It is tactical, the Leafs no doubt shored up some of their line matches that were killing them in the 1st and adjusted how they defended the Sabres offense. Anyway, let's see how they do tonight.
