I will be there tonight as well. Always a good time listening to Bolts' fans scream "Shoot it!" when they are at center ice on the pp

At least I've not heard "touch down" after a goal is scored yet.

For anyone that has been a fan of the game for several decades ....... is there any way you could look at the game any differently ? I'd say without any reservation that hockey .... out of ALL the major sports (even soccer for christ's sake) .............. is the sport most often decided by sheer luck and/or good bounces. I completely subscribe to this theory.

Aside from the (5-7) elite teams that simply have it clicking on all cylinders at the moment ....(until they don't), there isn't hardly a thing different between other teams ..... except good fortune.

Yeah, I always thought, man that 2014-15 Sabres team was just a few bounces away from contention

Well how do you define bounces? Are we talking bounces as in pucks just going their way into the net or bounces as in seismic shifts in places like Tampa, Detroit, NY, Pittsburgh, etc that result in the collapse of the entire city and their respective hockey teams?

If it's the latter than yes, we were just a couple city ending bounces away.

Tampa has a great power play, and Nilsson is not good defending it.

Bishop may be back.

A challenge tonight, but the Sabres have been meeting those challenges lately. LETS GO BOYS!!

- Der Kaiser

Nilsson has an .885 sv% at 4 on 5
Lehner has a .861 Sv% at 4 on 5

We have the our better goalie playing tonight

Both goalies are just fine.

Both give us a chance to win more often than not. Nilsson is playing tonight because Lehner has whatever plague Carrier had that caused him to lose 13 lbs in 1 week.

95% of the time, a goalie's stats are measured by the defense around him


then you have lehner and nilsson with decent numbers on a team with 2-4 sh!tty d men on the ice
