And if we go to a shoot out we might stand a chance

I would like a 70/30 or a 65/35 split with lehner getting more starts

keeps both goalies focused
- homiedclown

I have no problem with them both getting time as long as they're both playing well, which they are. But at the end of the day, Lehner is the #1, so he should be the guy getting the 70 or 65%. Unless he completely falls apart, which as of right now, he has not.

Why though? You keep looking at save % i agree they are both good. BUT, would you rather go with the goalie that has almost the same amount of wins in less than half games played?


6 for 12

8 for 26

Which do you start?

.........

Not unlike the Boston games, Eichel had a personal connection to this game against the Rangers as he was playing against his off-season workout buddy, Jimmy Vesey. If you'll recall , the Sabres traded for Vesey's rights after the college player decided he wouldn't be playing for the team that drafted him, the Nashville Predators. Buffalo made it's case over the summer but Vesey signed with the NY Rangers.

Wait, when did this happen?

I think her point, and mine as well weeks ago, is that it's not the goalie play that is the root of those wins.

remember when we said the leafs were as close if not ahead but our opinions are stupid because millennials are dumb and will never be ready?


Great times

Yep mostly everyone bashed us lol

Then I got absolutely murdered when I said mitchell marner was way better than Sam and we should trade for him And he be pat Kane

And i 100% agree.... but if the team plays better for one goalie and that goalie is winning, why not play that goalie?

Correct.

I like Nilsson. I do. But I like Lehner as well. I just feel like if Lehner is the guy beyond this year, you need your team to figure out how to win with him back there, because clearly he's not the issue.

small sample size on the shoot outs

he had better numbers with the sens, middle of the pack numbers

But what he did with the Sens is irrelevant, or so I was told

To be fair the difference in points between them is 6.... i dont know if that is WAYYY better.

And Sam is +1 and Marner is -4

Do you actually have any type of contribution to add other than these stupid assumptions of how Murray might feel?

Your whole schtick here is getting quite old.
- HonkFortheGoose

I don't know what he feels but apparently he knows how to build a hockey team

watch marner with the puck, its just a different level

If he was better with the puck wouldn't he be the one with the better +/-?

One is a superstar (rookie) and one a complementary good player

They also have had their top draft pick available to them all season. Ours missed the first 21 games.

Is that a real question? Or are you trolling.... cause i know that you know hockey. So i am hoping that you are just trolling.

US game on

its not a troll my point was marner creates more with the puck on his stick than reinhart. his plus minus being lower isnt because of his skill with the puck, its pretty well established that reinhart is better defensively and in any case its a 5 man unit out there.Bogosian turns the puck over in his own end leading to a goal everyone on the ice gets a minus.

Yeah but Matthews did nothing after that 4 goal game 14 or 20 games after that he did nothing but you know his team stepped up and continued winning
Now he's on a massive hot streak

But if he was so good with the puck, he would have less turnovers resulting in less goals while he is on the ice, if he is a "superstar rookie" and an amazing puck handler, i dont know why he would be a -4. When he is on the ice the puck should be on his stick and should not give it up with his silky mits.
