Well Eichel had 4 points tonight in a 10-5 win over BC. And thatā€™s how bored I am at work right now to report shinny hockey stats.

Orton was better than Fitz imo.

Tyrod stunk
And i didnā€™t really think much of Orton
Heā€™s was ok, i guess
Not that i thought Fitz was great or anything

Itā€™s kinda sad that these are the guys we are talking about for best QB over the past 15years

I was literally thinking that as I typed. My submission to "Why your team sucks" for the Bills would be:

I thought Kyle Orton was pretty good

9/13 for 60yds

Youā€™re acting like he was on pace for 300yds
Didnā€™t make any plays down field really

I loved the TD pass like everyone,
but that was his athleticism & talent showing though

I donā€™t think you guys understand what Iā€™m saying about ā€œreading defensesā€
Not sure how to explain it any better though

I understand what ā€œreading defensesā€ means. Come on.

I get that he didnā€™t pile up the yardage. But those were the plays they were running - probably to gauge his short accuracy. Thatā€™s supposed to be his greatest weakness, right?

And even then - what does the yardage have to do with ā€œreading defenses.ā€ He led the team to three scores - took what the D gave him.

Or maybe ā€œreading defensesā€ means something way more esoteric to you.

Carter Hutton turned down more money, about $500k a year, from the #Isles to sign with #Sabres. Great opportunity for him in Buffalo

"Lehner was basically the only somewhat promising goaltender left on the market, and the Islanders were virtually the only spot left for him to land. Former Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen is also a free agent, as is former Blue Jackets, Flyers and Jets goaltender Steve Mason. But their recent histories are not encouraging.

Like those two, Lehner has struggled with injuries and consistency, but heā€™s been on bad teams more often than not. At 26, hopefully he can find stability under Barry Trotz, and perhaps Mitch Korn, the longtime Trotz goaltending coach who has reportedly at least had talks with the Islanders. (Heā€™s also, however, talked with the Capitals about remaining in D.C.)

Lehner became a free agent this summer when the Sabres declined to give him a qualifying offer, as he was coming off a $3.15 million salary in 2017-18. His stats have trended downward through is career, right along with the teams heā€™s played for."
