What's amazing is I'm seeing Buffalo not taking the Sabres seriously anymore. Even with Jack. They haven't sold a game out in months. Bars don't even then the sound on to hear Rick anymore. Are you listening Terry?

His save percentage is ranked 23rd of any goalie facing at least 100 shots. He's fine. Totally unspectacular too

NHL.com has him 18th, with 5 backups playing less than 20 games in front of him. So like 13th realistically. He's above average. Like I said, he's last on the list to upgrade.

100 shots is way too low of a bar, Lehner has made 645 saves on 700 shots.

i remain undiscouraged.

I have been undiscouraged for awhile. I stopped getting riled over the results of a sports team's results that I cannot control many years ago.

Now the process of building the team is fun; the drafts, trades, firings/hirings and I enjoy the games but the blood pressure stays stagnant for the most part. I should probably be a Buffalo News Sabres beat reporter because I just have no control over the games/results so I care very little at the moment, they win nice, they lose, the sun will rise. Now, if this were the playoffs, far into the playoffs, I'll let you know how I feel then.

If the second pair isn't complete ass we're not even talking about lehner.

Concur. They were there for both of those goals last night too right? I know they were for at least one, and they were there for the goal where Jagr tied Messier, or passed him, whatever, because Jagr stripped Kulikov.

Don't trust NHL.com. And not cause it suits my point. The site is whacky

Murray, in desperation, is going to dangle a 3rd round pick, a flight of Buffalo's best wings, a lifetime supply of the Original Pizza Logs, a 2L of loganberry, an autographed Jim Kelly memorabilia with cocaine used the night prior to the second of four Super Bowl losses, a meet and greet with Rob Johnson, Trent Edwards and J.P. Losman, and a 35% off Tyler Myers jersey for Jaromir Jagr's jock strap.

Show me one where it's 500 shots and then we're sort of talking. But 100 shots is not even close to being a good barometer.

I'm just shocked it took some of you this long to understand how bad this team is ...

Next will be Sam

Both ESPN and TSN have him tied for 16th.

Confirmation bias.

- Wetbandit1

Is that overall?

Either way, he's not a problem. Just don't understand why he was necessary.

Ive always been of the belief that unless its a top 5 goalie they're usually a product of the team in front of them. I never understood the price they paid and why it had to be him but as far as improving the team moving forward, got like 8 things to do before we even discuss lehner.
