ok may be a bit of a silly question but have not been following for a bit. Is Irbe still with the Sabres as goaltending coach?

I guess
But he still should've been better
And he's proven over his career that he's an average starter (at best)
That's not good enough IMO
We should aim higher
I don't want to be like Edmonton, with all tho talent but a goalie that loses games 5-4 every other night

I understand those who don't want a 6mil goalie, but that's just what a good goalie costs now-a-days
I'd prefer to trade for someone like Gibson though
Younger, cheaper, and has that #1 potential
That would be ideal

Anyone notice how Murray never mentions bring back the goalies we've had here when he's questioned about it?
Seems like he's not considering it, we shouldn't either
And for good reason IMO

Wonder what happens to Johnson, does he go the other way in our trade for a goalie or do you keep him as a backup?

Can't see the nucks or sens wanting that, LA might if they choose to move Jones.

I believe they haven't decided yet on Irbe.

Murray said that Johnson will be the backup this year.

He said that in yesterday's presser. I gotta admit that kind of surprised me. He said we need a #1 in Buffalo and a #1 in Rochester.

Tough to say
Obv the isles wanted to improve their backup & thought he wasn't good enough
I'm guessing Murray took him back BC we had to
Or maybe he liked what he saw out of him in Boston & thinks he can be a decent backup?

My guess is that if we sign a UFA then he'll stay, but if we trade for a goalie they will try to move him

I missed that
I guess Murray likes him then, at least a little
Also means that none of our guys from last year will be back most likely. I could've seen one signed as a backup, but not a starter.

Yea, sorry it's a load of crap. DDM said it best, the old school hockey minds think he's an entitled jackass because he's got some personality instead of the classic robot canadian cliche answers that mcdavid gives (just like tavares, stamkos etc).

Amen!! Just some 3rd rate journalist trying to get noticed by starting some cr@p.

The scalpin grapefruit is amazing. Kentucky breakfast stout is superior to the regular. I'm heading to Vermont next month with a co worker and his brother. He has some connections. Going to be bringing back all the heady I want. Getting my fill of Lawson's sip of sunshine and stopping at hillfarmstead. I'm pretty pumped. And gonna be pretty drunk in August

I've got grapefruit sculpin at the house right now, but I'm not super impressed, admittedly I'm not into IPAs, so it's not the beers fault. Nothing I enjoy more than a left hand nitro milk stout

There's no way a deal involving kessel and toronto wouldn't be reported first by the TSN/Sportsnet crew.

I hope you are right I don't want that fat moody, (frank). But, the TSN/Sportsnet crew did miss on Babcock until the day he signed.

None of these guys are real.

I would like a Kessel for 21,31, Ennis and a prospect.

I know 99% of these guys have no sources. There was one a couple years ago who used to steal his his "inside" info from Homer and another poster with inside info here and 5 mins later he'd tweet as his own.
