could it get any worse?...in the last four shootout games he's not made a single save...nine of ten shots they've scored on with the only miss being tonight's post by former sabre paul byron

He felt sorry for the old squad so he dinged one off the pipe.

Thought the Sabres played a good game,deserved a better outcome. It was WAY better then anything last year. Hell they had 41 shots on goal....

I think once we get settled into this system, we will be fine... other then two bone headed moves it was a solid effort.

We've scored 0 goals with him at the other end as well. 0

He needs to be better. But it won't matter if the shooters don't get better too

- HonkFortheGoose

good point...but for a player who said he had nothing to prove, he needs to do something in the shootout...or don't give up that weak goal

The funny thing is, Pommer and Josefsen have been historically great. Lehner has been historically bad at them.

Blaming the shooters like they are on the same level is moronic.

The reason Lehner is getting flak is BECAUSE HE NEVER SAVES THEM. EVER

WE literally NEVER score in them, like literally NEVER.

True or False. Lehner is the worst shootout goalie you have ever seen? If false, is love to hear the worst.

We were?

Last I check they only scored 2 goals on 45 shots.

- Stripes77


Don't kid yourself, we were all over them for the first 2+ periods. We played possibly the most elite goalie in the world tonight.

45 shots? That sounds to me like we were all over them. We owned the TOP.

Didn't bury our chances.

Reinhart is a wet noodle in front of the net. He wiffs a lot.

I really don't want to be a downer but we should have won this game.

I'm not happy with "They looked more entertaining than last year" and I'm not privy to say things like "their goalie stole this one!".

We flat our should have won this game. These are the games we need to start winning, instead of saying "welp, golly gee, we got a point, hyuck".

It's almost sickening to see the rest of the league. Chicago dominates Pittsburgh, Sadd with a hat-trick. McDavid. Hat-trick. Ovechkin. Hat-trick. Toronto. Wins 7-2. Avalanche won. Philly won.

Sabres? The guy everyone said wouldn't score 20 goals this season scored 2 goals while the rest of the team dipsy-doodled around.

Our 4th line was dominant. I shouldn't be saying this. I should be talking about how our 80 million dollar guy can't take over a game. Home opener. New contract. This is not an over-reaction. He should have taken this game over.

At least his discount contract makes him easier to trade to Boston in a couple years.

No, it's the start of year 3. Not just a one game sample size.

I have yet to see him absolutely take over a game.

You must have missed the part at the end where I said his discount contract should make him easier to trade to Boston in a couple years.

I agree with most of this. It was a game we needed to win.

It just seems like a "Buffaluck" situation. When is our guy gonna tear it up at a big moment?

It’s not all his fault, and he’s a decent goalie otherwise, but he’s literally beat on every attempt. It’s unreal

U made a lot of points,
not just the Eichel one

Also, he’s really, really good
Idk wtf you’re talking about?

How many guys “take over” games?
What does that even mean?
It’s subjectively ridiculous

There's really no beating around the bush on this one. The contract announcement, home opener, 1st game of the season and they did the same damn thing they always do and let us down.
