True, just in my head - as a non goalie-basher - I hadn't realized how many have been allowed since then.

While I'm on that topic

Goals allowed since Eichel's return:

Nilsson: 32 (2.667 per game)
Lehner: 37 (2.467 per game)

Looking through boxscores, I ran across this sad sight:

jesus christ

Had to correct a stat - Buffalo has allowed 73 goals since Eichel's return. I said 75 before, but 2 were "Shootout Goals"

73 goals = 2.92 allowed per game vs. 2.84 goals scored per game in that time

Pretty sure I don't need to alter Buffalo's since I don't think they've won a shootout al year?

Was there a storm that night?

I know, I actually like the Lehner deal FOR US (SABRES). So whatever.
- Lilroot9

I don't mind it either , could have been worse.

21st overall? and waived? but, how?
- rover16

We should trade Lehner for him.

I think we won one just cant remember who lol

But, but 21st overalls are gold!!
- GilPerreault11

Well, then, according to this logic, the 1st overall pick is also garbage because Yak is on the verge of being a bust.

I have a sincere question. Did anyone actually say this?

Because I think the mantra from a few of us was "Injuries shouldn't mean we are last in the conference"

If anyone really sincerely thought Eichel's injury did not matter, than that's crazy
- sbroads24

Don't want to backread for quotes, but yeah I think the injuries were downplayed considerably. No one may have said that they didn't matter at all per say, but "team sucks and getting healthy won't change anything" has been an early season mantra adopted by some.

Typically more offense leads to a lax on D. It's why Nolan's goalies were always so good. And our scoring was horrific.

Well, then, according to this logic, the 1st overall pick is also garbage because Yak is on the verge of being a bust.
- sskkoo1

Yeah but noboby said the 21st pick is garbage.

The argument over the 21st pick is not that it has no value. The argument is that the 21st pick is risky, and because of that risk, the value of the 21st pick is probably not as high as the value of a known NHL starter.

I think we won one just cant remember who lol
- Sabresfan-365

You're right, that was pre-Eichel - so one less goal scored during that time.

very cool...you going to this?

The Buffalo Sabres Road Crew, presented by Delta Air Lines, will make its first “Tour Stop” of the 2016-17 season on Jan. 23 in Nashville, Tennessee prior to the team’s game against the Predators on Jan. 24.

This Tour Stop will take place on the second floor at Tin Roof Broadway (316 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37201) on Monday, Jan. 23, from 6 to 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 each, with all proceeds benefiting the Buffalo Sabres Foundation.

I went to the one in Columbus two years ago and hung with Ted Nolan and Brian Trottier, amongst others, for brief moments and it was way cool
- Michael Pachla

Sabres Road Crew will be delayed until tomorrow morning.

Scott Glennie sucked, so that means Nylander does

Craig Custance says the 2017 draft will be average. And believes 1st round picks will be in play. (in)

Stefan Noesen on waivers from Ducks, was traded in Bobby Ryan deal, drafted 21st overall in 2011 in Ottawa, Murray knows him well....
